How to party at Instructables when the CEO is out of the office

Instructables CEO ewilhelm is in the office today so the Instructables development team decided to cut loose and party!

(Let us know if anything at the site got broken as a result of our messing around - we'll fix it!)

Step 1: Get sauced up

The first step to a good party is to find something tasty to drink. We raided Tim Anderson's "wrong cabinet" and found our way into his home made batch of kombucha.

Interaction Engineers make excellent look-outs.

This is kinda what we did every night when I was there. But without breaking the internets. And more movie watching.

I missed movie watching?! Which movies?

Billy introduced me to The Rock, starring Nicolas Cage. It was amazing! We also watched Dr. Horrible's Sing-a-long Blog, Teeth, Gattaca, Idiocracy... I don't remember if that was it. :P

Gattaca is one of my favorite movies. But then again, I have a lot of favorite movies.

How do you serf the net after the server room stuff?

jenkat says: May 4, 2007. 5:34 PM

Nice! I've bubble wrapped/rolled a co-worker at work once. It's great fun doing it to those you don't like, cuz you can then ship them off!

Rishnai in reply to jenkatAug 11, 2008. 10:28 PM

Bubble wrap and then a friendly roll down the stairs is fun, unless the stairs in your building are real pointy. My friend and I do that at his apt. building every time we get large amounts of bubble wrap. Even better, bubble wrap roll-racing!

I'm praying that my next stop has free wireless so I can check on the site, and this is what I find!?!? This is definitely going on everyone's performance review.

Berkin in reply to ewilhelmJan 22, 2009. 10:54 AM

Can't the admin just usually delete anything he or she likes...? LOL

_{But, flagging works, too.}

A good name in reply to ewilhelmApr 27, 2008. 5:10 PM

Why would an admin need to flag something? Lollllll...

benthekahn in reply to A good nameJun 27, 2008. 12:13 AM

You thwarted his logic.

A good name in reply to benthekahnJun 29, 2008. 2:25 PM

GorillazMiko says: Jan 23, 2008. 4:53 PM

Every time Eric sees this Instructable, things happen at the Instructables HQ.

_{Bad things.}

Derin in reply to GorillazMikoApr 27, 2008. 10:50 AM

hhahahahahahahaha

CameronSS says: May 8, 2007. 10:26 PM

Are the giant Robot stickers for sale? I want one!

noahw (author) in reply to CameronSSMay 8, 2007. 11:46 PM

I printed out just a few of the giant stickers to give away at Makers Faire in two weeks. We don't have any for sale right now, but I will definitely get in touch should we ever often them. Of course, if there was ever an instructable worthy of such a sticker, an instructable so giant, so sticky, so amazing that it just had to be rewarded with the worlds biggest robot sticker, how could we say no to printing one out and sending it to the author?

Lithium Rain in reply to noahwApr 23, 2008. 11:48 AM

Oooooo...what would be worthy?

GorillazMiko in reply to noahwApr 16, 2008. 7:49 PM

Ooooh.... do you guys still make more?

Jake Turner says: Apr 12, 2008. 5:44 PM

I'm gonna guess that's NoahW passed out "drunk" in the last picture- with a capped bottle in his hand.

heliosrising in reply to Jake TurnerApr 17, 2008. 8:44 PM

He was going to drink it, but then he passed out before he could find a bottle opener.

T3h_Muffinator says: May 4, 2007. 3:55 PM

YAY! I hope Eric's out for a day when I'm there!!

noahw (author) in reply to T3h_MuffinatorMay 4, 2007. 4:30 PM

I'm sure Eric is bummed that we had fun while he was gone. He likes to tear things up just as much as we do. Fear not, we'll have lots of fun things to do this summer! ;)
