Are you kidding me? We don't have a "It's Wednesday and the Backpacker Bar is Open" thread? What the heck are y'all doin', eatin' okra? I started working with a new team on January 2. Without going into details, I believe that a quantifiable 75% improvement is to be celebrated. And since this is engineering, we quantify stuff down to the gnat's ass, and it's real (the improvement, that is - not sure about the gnat's ass). So drinks are on me. Belly up to the bar, my friends!

I'll buy it, but you may have to drink it outside. You know, it's got - [sotto voce] okra in it. We have our standards, low and weak though they may be.
An okra martini? You cannot be serious! You cannot be serious!!!

^ Liked your post because an okra martini sounds like an abomination.
Liking of said post in no way implies that I condone your flawed general hatred of okra.

I'm having a Naked Pig to honor your accomplishments. I last started working on a new team in July 1992, and I'd like to keep it that way as long as possible.

I'm having a Naked Pig to honor your accomplishments. At least one of us is going to have to report that to the Powers That Be.

At least one of us is going to have to report that to the Powers That Be. We're probably both on the GROUP W bench. Good stuff. GET NAKED AND ENJOY!

So drinks are on me. Belly up to the bar, my friends! Great. Would you send me your credit card number so I can run up a tab? Just use this forum. I know you'd want everyone here to partake. Thanks.

You guys sure drink a lot.
I did listen to Metallica’s cover of “Whiskey in the Jar” tonight while working out. That song never gets old.

Good work! And gnat's asses are real. Not sure if there's a standardized measurement as gnats, like people, come in all sizes.

Some friends of ours just moved, so we inherited food from their fridge. One thing was a jar of pickled okra that was most likely used in his martinis. I'm not a martini drinker, so I'm not about to try it, but I have to think it gives it a similar flavor that olives would.

Stuff the pickled okra with pimiento cheese. Martini optional.
