the engineer 

Hey look buddy, I'm an engineer. That means I solve problems, not problems like "What is beauty?" Because that would fall within the purview of your conundrums of philosophy. I solve practical problems, for instance: how am I going to stop some mean mother Hubbard from tearing me a structurally superfluous be-hind? The answer, use a gun, and if that don't work... Use more gun. Take for instance this heavy caliber tripod mounted lil' old number designed by me, built by me, and you best hope... Not pointed at you.

Meet the engineer 

Hey look buddy. I'm an engineer. That means I solve problems.

A shot rings out and a bullet hole appears next to the Engineer's head

Engie: Not problems like "What is beauty?", 'cause that would fall within the purview of your conundrums of philosophy.

Another two bullet holes appear, on the other side of the Engie's head.

Engineer: I solve practical problems.

the shot zooms out to show a level 2 sentry shooting offscreen while the Engie takes a long drink from his beer.

Heavy: AAAAGGGGGHHHHHH!!!!!

Engineer: For instance, how am I gonna stop some big mean Mother-Hubbard from tearin' me a structurally superfluous new behind?

A level 1 sentry turns around and shoots a sniper who was trying to creep up on the Engie from behind.

Engineer: The answer? Use a gun. And if that don't work, use more gun.

Another level 3 sentry fired a salvo of rockets, blowing up someone offscreen.

Someone, probably the scout: MY AAAARRRMMMM!!!!!

a blown-off hand lands at the Engie's feet

Engie: Like this, heavy-caliber tripod-mounted little-old-number designed by me,

Engie kicks the hand off screen as a level 1 sentry blows it apart

Engie: Built by me,

A level 1 sentry shoots offscreen

Engie: and you best hope;

The Engie's expression darkens, and he stares right at the camera

Engie: not pointed at you.

British slang for a scientist or technical expert, esp . when the speaker is not certain of the expert’s specific field of study. Not necessarily derogatory, but typically used by persons without a technical background. In the US, the equivalent would be “egghead”, “squint”, or “geek.”

Origin of the word is unknown. Started sometime in World War 2. Given the typical evolution of British slang, could easily have started because what these experts did was confusing or “baffling” to the common person.
According to the boffins downstairs, the murderer used a serrated blade.

Pee Calculus

When you have to pee in a movie but don’t want to miss anything, and must do the following mental equation: will the amount I have to pee cause enough discomfort to diminish my attention capacity for the remainder of the movie to an extent which is greater than the amount of the movie I would miss by making a mad dash to the restroom.
I saw Satantango last night, wonderful film but by the 5th hour I had to start doing pee calculus.
