Before Halloween there was this rather long email chain broadcasting through the team, of people reporting that they would be getting off work early on Halloween day to avoid the Traffic congestion that tends to swamp Microsoft campus on that day, with parents bringing in their costumed kids to collect candy.
Well one of the people who replied in the chain said he was going to stay just to pick off the chocolate, then a few seconds later the same guy emails again only this time with some SQL code involving Lambdas. It was quite the strange response to the topic of candy and taking off early. But one person on the team had an idea of what it must mean, so he replied back saying that "Lambda expressions are chocolate for the mind..."
A few days later another email was sent out announcing an anniversary of one of the team who works off-site. He wanted to continue the tradition of providing a pound of chocolate for every year he had been employed with Microsoft but being off-site he couldn't put the usual bowl out, so he sent "virtual chocolate."
Well, one of my Managers has quite the sense of humor, so he found that Lambda expression and replied back with it. Someone asked if it would become the next team T-Shirt. Of course I got the idea to see what it would look like as a T-Shirt. So I created a Zazzle account and whipped out a quick design. Ah, what fun.
