Different strokes for different folks. If you don't like them, you don't like them. I am getting kind of sick of people saying Kari's just there for eyecandy, though. She's the artist of the team; sculpting, welding and cheerful sadism are her greatest skills, just as building fuckable robots with flamethrower attachments are Grant's specialty and gathering data for his master's thesis in Studies in Wacky Self-Inflicted Injuries is Tory's department.

Anyway, what are everyone else's favorite build team projects? Mine is the non-dairy creamer fireball.

That is the best description of them.

I need to get back to watching Mythbusters.

A+ comment

...I can't think of a specific on right now, but I always remember getting a huge kick out of when the three stooges would be doing something for half the show like building a death machine or obstacle course of some kind, and then bring in Jaime and Adam all unawares to be the guinea pigs. They always looked so pleased with themselves.

...I also really liked the 'hot pepper cures' ep, not the least for the effects of the tequila cure.

As I said to someone else, Kari is also the mathematician. She's the one who works out the physics and does the equations prior to them actually building shit.

The woman is quite obviously intelligent and adds something to the team.

You're right, I had forgotten about that! It's been a shamefully long time since I last saw a Mythbusters episode. I really ought to go and rectify that sometime...

lololol your description of Grant. That's sort of why he's tied with Adam as my favorite - that and his tweeting of his Tony Stark cosplay. XD But I really do love them all.

I dunno about projects so much, but I remember one of my favorite Mythbusters moments involved the trio testing... I think it was the thing about whether or not you could potentially just DUCK to survive going underneath a semi, and the top half of the car would be ripped off but the car would keep driving.

And it worked and they were all like "YEEEEEAAAAAAAHHHHH" but then the car kept driving to the point where it went up a ramp and OVER A WALL, and they were like "YEEEAAAAAAAOMG o_O OH CRAP OH CRAP OH CRAP" The looks on everyone's faces at that moment where :D turned to D: were just about the funniest thing I've ever seen on TV. XD

The episode where they were competing to make the distance-beheading martial arts weapon was also great. In part because I believe it was Grant who accidentally triggered the blades on his and we got one of those :D to D: moments again as he slashed his shirt to pieces.

It wasn't really a project, but I found their testing of whether it is better to pull an all-nighter or to get a 20 minute nap every six hours on the crab fishing special to be really interesting and useful. Oh I also liked the one on ways to make yourself sober and whether talking on the cell phone was worse than being drunk.

Oh... wait... my actual favorite is the bulls in a china shop one. Who the hell would have guessed that would be the result of letting a dozen bulls (or whatever) into a china shop!

(I have lots more, but it's mostly because I pretty much just flat out love the show. :D )
