"Quotes" that were said during build season

[ZakuAce]

We were building a trailer today, and it was just me and a junior. We got into some pretty dumb coversations.

Me: "We're making lots of wood chips."
Him: "Chips? like Sun Chips? Maybe this is how they make them."

Me: "My hands are so full of sawdust. At least when I eat I'll get plenty of fiber."
Him: "You'll be constipated tomorrow."

Me: "Clamp it down."
Him: "Fine, gosh."
Me: "Don't argue, its time to climpity-clamp that clamping piece of clamp to the drill press. CLAMP!"

Me: "Meow go get the pvc meow, cut it to the right lengths, and don't screw up. Meow go."
Him: "Stop with the supertroopers references."

Student: "He's doing what all engineers do - *other student joins in* Mosey on down to the break room, get a cookie, mosey back to the cubicle, eat the cookie, mosey--"
Engineering Mentor (works for GM): "Haven't you read the newspaper? We cut the cookies"

This may be hard for some people to undestand, but we have a big tiger head in our lab.

So I said "geez I never realized how big this tiger is"
And the other kid said "It's not as big as the Jaguar"

While trying to open one of those breaker panel doors:
Senior: "Did you just break it?"
me: "No. It still works."
Senior: "What did you do?"
me: "I think I knocked the plastic piece down."
Senior: "You broke it!"
me: "It still works. See, you can use that metal piece instead!"
Needless to say, he didn't like that.

"It's pretty sad that all we need to get people to come to the meetings during lunch are Amanda's famous white chocolate peppermint bark and power tools."

When we started on the chassis:

INTEGRATION TEAM ASSEMBLE!

While watching someone practice tack welding aluminum

[teshazman]

As I was getting random assorted parts off the floor, X looked in my hand.
"You're a true man." He said.
"Huh?" was my blank reply.
He pointed to my handful of parts.
"You screw, nut, and bolt."

[teshazman]

As we were assembling our brain, X got impatient with the wires.
"Just stick it in there, whats the worst that could happen?"

When one of our programmers was putting together part of our bot, he was trying to get a nut on the screw. He couldn't do it, so he says,
"Guys this is way to hard to do by hand. Get me a nutdriver."
