Math in Public

Chris: So on this schedule, you're showing four days of testing - I've been telling the factory we'll need one day of setup, two days of testing and one day of tear down.  Am I misleading them?

Pax Velo Club

Deb: Matt, I saw you riding the other day!

Richard's Suggestions List

Some suggestions for diversions (without a clue as to where you are):
- take a book to nearest park
- take a book to nearest wine bar
- check out the closest museum, regardless of what it is.
- find nearest karaoke bar, drink then sing. Bonus for getting your colleagues drunk and posting video on facebook.
- find nearest pinball machine, kick its ass
- find a real pool hall (not pub with tables).
- go to nearest movie theatre, see next movie, regardless of what it is. Eat popcorn.
- check out the nearest small airport, have a drink if possible, bonus if they have food. Take pictures of unusual planes, send to Richard
- check out nearest bowling alley, be alert to freak show
- go to walmart and look for the biggest ass (be prepared to be scared)

Audrey

Neal:  Dude, Becker.  What did you say to her?  Because she SMILED at you.

Where do you row?

What's that ringing noise?

Chuck: I'm testing out this male mosquito repellent.  Is it driving you crazy?

Highlights from Flutter Testing

Jason: I became a communist so I wouldn't have to go to Pax.

Tim: Light pink, not gay pink.

The Other Tim: Oh!  You said "table lead sits here."  I heard "table lead buys beer!"

Tim:  Just another lying piece of shit.

Tim: You're not impressed, I can tell.  In fact, you're snarling.

Test Status Board

Mark:  So if something is flashing on here, does that mean I need to toggle my "give a shit" switch from no to yes?  That's really all I need to know.

How Canadians run a regatta

[Read in a thick South African accent.]

Something about me

Niki: This morning I had to do an icebreaker and write down something about me that no one knew.  I couldn't think of anything, so I said that I had once been bitten by an ostrich.
