First, we drink a whole lot of beer.
Then we climb up onto a tall building as the alternative energy yahoos are holding a parade/rally below us...
You had me at "whole lot of beer".
Yea, I know. Most of my fellow engineers would say “What more needs me said?”
At engineering school, back when the drinking age was 18, we’d have these beer blasts. Consider this: There were about 3,000 undergrads at our school. There was one frat (TEP, which was dominated by EE’s) that would hold their [in]famous 1,000 keg beer blast every autumn.
And they’d go through all the beer in one day.
When confronted by the town fathers, the response would be: “Engineering is thirsty work, mayor...”
And so it is here.
