Geeks cursed each other, pizza boxes got thrown, beer was spilled, perfectly-formatted CSS insults flew, moms' basements destroyed all over the world. Some team members argued we should be less predictable and geeky, that we could use some out-of-the-box thinking, choose something completely different, etc.
