Don't be sad, the picnic isn't that BAD...
DOE
PICNIC
Catch and release only, here!

As we see here, not all of the researchers were over joyed by the picnic festivities. (Please!?!?!? Come on, don't cry, it isn't that bad.) Anyway, I was careful to avoid any dishes that contained fish at this function, in the event that it was a local catch!!! (Call me acentric.)

My friends with MEMS... A photonics expert...
My friend with MEMS!!! My cohorts in Engineering Technology's Advanced Materials and Measurement Systems Section at Y12. Also Rommie, one of my fellow researchers in the Photonics and Measurement Systems group.

More Droogs John, what the hell are you doing???????
Hanging out, enjoying the picnic festivities. BTW, what the hell are you doing JOHN?!?!?!?

Picnic, yes?
This about sums up the picnic. FYI, lose the NASA shirt, pick up more chicks!

John? MIT Student!
Here we have John, the bloody photographer, and Lissa, the MIT student. Excellent then!

Melanie shows her stuff, but Mike isn't impressed.
Melanie shows off her stuff, BUT Mike really isn't impressed!!!!!

Warning...? A secret plot against researchers from the Far East...
Sir Patrick, an Environmental Science expert, uses his skills of identification to point out the dangers of Nuclear Waste.

Here we have some phosphor experts.

Bye bye now
