Perfect!!!

Pants ARE still optional, right?

Just when I thought there wasn't a next level...o_Oo_O

Ha!

Yes just no commando

apparently we have evolved a good way .... its good to see how quickly we have bounded back from the disappointment of the delay in the "official" engine start and return to our normal level of comments ..

So why didn't they just say that

Are you crazy? Okay, actually, I was wondering that myself. If it was a personal matter of someone involved, I could see them NOT wanting to tell the whole story "Well, Bob challenged Will that he couldn't eat a whole green chilli burrito without taking a drink and when he DID, we had to take him to the emergency room. He's there still trying to figure which end to point at the toilet. So, we are going to have to delay by a day or two..."

Also, I could see them not wanting to tip their hat or spoil the surprise... Something.

No bouncing. Someone was very specific about not going comando!

It IS good to not dwell on news that we can't interpret.

I am glad that many of you here have decided to take a deep breath and wait. The reality is...none of us "KNOWS" the reasons behind the delay. It is obvious to me, that there is a very good reason, and when EM can tell us, THEY WILL.
Once the truth is revealed, ALL of the negative speculation (when stated as fact) becomes nothing more than lies. I have to say that I have always been impressed by the level of intelligence on this forum. But, having a "my logic is undeniable" attitude is like playing chess with yourself...you always win! But that doesn't make you (or I) a good chess player.
EM has, up to now, overcome some great obstacles. The Engine unveiling is a HUGE milestone...(not done in over 60 years!) Hmmm, now that is the kind of accomplishment that any aspiring (or exiting?) politician, would find irresistible! Possibly an opportunity (for said politician) to personally announce that the ATVM loan has been approved?
Did any of you ever throw a "surprise party"? Did you need to "lie" or tell a "half truth" to make it happen? Just sayin'.

Please be patient.

Now that the dust is settling a bit, why in G*d's name did he say anything else but "We're sorryThe demonstration has been delayed, more information forthcoming" Easy weesy- The reason EM gave is too lame

Actually it's pretty specific, not that it's any easier to hear.

Man, I was looking forward to tomorrow. Think I'll take a break before I become a hater. It's becoming too easy to see the worst lately.
