Best quote I've heard all week! I couldn't stop laughing for about 10 minutes.

AHAHAHAHAHAHA Oh wow....

During build season a person on our team was asked about what she thought about this years game. She said "I like it.." Then said "Never mind I don't like it.." Then said "Okay I do like it." and followed up with "You know I used to be indicisive but now I'm not so sure."

A teammate Kristi and I are standing near our pit at LI when a member of another team comes up and takes a picture of our robot while commenting to someone with him, "Wow, that's one hell of a robot."

At the time, the robot was like, completely broken, so Kristi and I are avoiding eye contact with each other in hopes that we won't crack up. After the guy leaves:

Me: "Wow. I wonder what that guy is on because [Ryan decides to start listening at this point] I want some of that!"
Ryan: "What, Joe?!"
Me: "No! Not Joe! Drugs! Drugs!!!"
Ryan: "Wow Joe, look at that. On Laura's list, you're second only to drugs."
