Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer Gift Exchange 2018

Dave, do not try to explain ANYTHING to an engineer....... I have lived with one for almost 30-yrs and all it will get you is your BRAIN leaking out of your ear, because they do not accept the obvious and want more explanation. Engineers are God's Evil payback for all of our sins, LOL

My coworker makes Jalapeno Peanut Brittle...... stuff is amazing! It'd be awesome with Habanero.

I would try them

What exactly do you mean by this? I don't have a good definition of "Evil payback." Can you give several examples? Your brain couldn't have literally leaked out of your ear, so I am going to need a more precise description of that feeling. Can you also provide a metric by which I can measure the magnitude of that feeling? Finally, what do you mean that we Engineers don't accept the obvious? If it is obvious then it doesn't need more explanation and we accept it. But if the explanation is sub-optimal then naturally we need a better definition, which also means that the explanation which you thought obvious is really non-obvious hence the request for additional clarification. Really I am just trying to get a precise and verifiable elucidation of your statements here. Thanks.

This proves my point beyond expectation, ROFL.... and this was after my Engineer Wife happened to be standing behind me and Di'Nozzoed me. Why cant she go into an office, rather than work from home. Another Evil Engineer trick

 

[Dave in KY]

Sorry Dave

 

[dangerousdon]

Hot pepper Jelly with a little bit of cream cheese on a cracker is amazing.

It is amazing!

Well, it is not like you didn't earn it...

 

[The Monkey]

It is amazing!

Too bad my brother has moved on to wife number 3

 

[Smattayu]

The first part of the gift for my buddy came in today. You'd think it would be difficult to have something from Chernobyl delivered to Michigan, but not so much.

 

[Rudolph]

Well we have an early bird! A package is on the way. I repeat a package is on the way!

 

[NurseDave]

Well we have an early bird! A package is on the way. I repeat a package is on the way!

Oh man, that's just going to be torture for someone

 

[Spider]

What???? Halloween just ended! It's still Dia de los Muertos...... I haven't even had time to clean up the bones yet!

 

[GearNoir]

Well we have an early bird! A package is on the way. I repeat a package is on the way!

Oh man, that's just going to be torture for someone

A good 7 weeks of torture at least!

 

[dangerousdon]

 

[ShawnF]

Yeah...... I think I know who the poor person is that has to look at that package for another month and a half too.......

 

[dangerousdon]

Ahh...We all here feel soo sorry for you...

Said No Cadre Ever!

 

[NurseDave]

I say any package received in November can’t be for Christmas. Open it!!

 

[dangerousdon]

I say any package received in November can’t be for Christmas. Open it!!

I like this logic!

 

[Rudolph]

I can confirm that the package received by ShawnF is indeed from his buddy! That was a long flight to get that package delivered!

There is still one more out there that has been delivered. Just waiting for confirmation that it has been received!
