Most of our stuff is safety jokes. Like, "I'm gonna stick this thing in my eye, is that safe?" "Killer death beams aren't technically forbidden in the safety manuel, oh, wait, wait, yes they are." "Claire (me, the safety person), those Cheezits don't look safe." "Stop being unsafe! Be safe or else."

A while after the release of 300...
"Madness? THIS IS ROBOTICS!"

Also, a while after Pirates of the Carribean: At World's End was released and someone did/came up with something awesome...
"And that was without a single drop of rum."
"Yeah? How much caffeine?"
"Two Monsters."
"Sorry, didn't catch that?"
"OK, 5 Monsters."
"That's more likely."

this is from last year's team captain:

"it won't fail 'till it breaks"

Towards the end of build season we start making up words like "gription" and "prettify". Maybe it's because of lack of sleep, but none of the made up words need any explination.

WE have our infamous "Napkin of Truth" where we write down all the words we've made up. Just to name a few.

Gription (though everyone has made this up, I believe)
Argaffirming- Arguing with someone, while simply restating what they've already said. It's both arguing and reaffirming.
Inspenser- The opposite of a dispenser.
Theoletically- Me trying to pronounce theoretically.

I'll post some more when I have access to the Napkin.

[Corey Oostveen]

(talking about how our parts had not come in yet)

Me- "It is really dumb how fed ex can't deliver a fed ex express package and fed ex express can't deliver a fed ex package"
Team Advisor- "Ya the fed ex guys don't touch each others packages"
