Yes. At least I do. Makes me feel better knowing that other teams are as, uhh, special as mine is.



Me while talking to our lead about a part he wants that is both currently out of our budget and sold out.

Chad: I wonder how to get two of these...
me: The Easter Bunny.
Chad: I was thinking wish upon a falling star. lol
me: ...Does your son have any loose teeth?
We can nab the tooth fairy so we can get in touch with the rest of the magical holiday beings...

I used to be on a sports team... until I took a robot to the knee.

[Brianna]

Me: Hey, Do you watch My Little Pony?
Mentor: Yeah! You might as well ask who doesn't watch it, you would get less people answering that way.


Shop mentor: "He kept wandering around the shop whining about how he wanted a mountain dew so I figured I better bring some and some candy bars to keep him working and not wandering the halls whining."

Not necessarily funny, but a good quote, I think:

"No magic parts - I don't care if you make it out of toothpicks and Popsicle sticks, but it has to be made out of something. Don't CAD something we can't make."

"We threw the ball!"
"Yeah, and the belt, too."
