A word of warning--gloves are not a good idea when grinding. Use vise grips or pliers to hold a part, and dip the part in water to cool it off.

My Aero Design team has a set of our own quotes, but most are not appropriate. A few that are:
"Miss Behavin" -- last year's prototype
"Haulin' Mass" --Last year's competition plane
(the planes live up to their names)

And the usual jokes about the wire strippers (which like to disappear)...
