Haha..I use that all the time!
How did I miss this gem when you posted it?
Charc, you were busy <cmd> <Z> -ing!
Best complement by the other ME - the old timer I ever got where I work was "you polished up that turd really well." For him that was quite the complement though we have merged styles and had other meetings of the mind and fellowship advice/understanding since than in getting past the yes it's a turd but what do you think type of way.
Sort of like the saying " It's ..... Crap-tastic"
Maybe he wanted a five second fade up, and you were supposed to start when he started the "g-word" and reach full intensity when he finished?
Of course, the flaw would be you didn't know how long he would go on for...Yes, I agree. I also like in your signature, "Peace through cubits," and the one about the rules--well, okay, I like your signature.
Me too!
Our nightly inspirational speech from our Crew Chief: "Have a good show and don't screw up."
One I use whenever someone new joins the crew: "You realize, of course, that since you're new here, everything is your fault. Right?"
On our off season events, sometimes the groups using our facilities will bring in techs who've never worked a show in their lives. They often ask, "What if something goes wrong?" I tell them, "I don't worry about whether things are going to go wrong anymore. I just accept that things are going to go wrong and deal with the problems when they happen." How's that for inspirational?
I think my favorite, though, is: "Don't you ever go home?:shock:

Reminds me of the one I use around here all the time, " I didn't say it was your fault, I said I was Blaming you."

In the shop, when asked how long something needs to be...
"Oh, about yeh big"
(only occasionally followed with an approximation with hands)
Gets some funny looks from the performance majors putting in their shop lab time for the quarter.

Sounds like you need to get a "pink wood strecther"Here's one from my scenic carpentry days:
No matter how many times I cut it, its still too short!
one of the things we used to send noobs to the tool room to find.
I actually sent a guy to the hardware store once with a shopping list, in the middle of the list was " spirit level fluid" he was there for hours.
