Back in the 80's I was their auditor.  No joke.

Very interesting workplace.

I got to "all former" and fully thought that sentence was going to end with the word employees

A company ahead of its time in many ways. It offered benefits to same sex couples as early as 1987.

And Ben and Jerry's offices were full of toys - much like the Silicon Valley companies of today.

Is this someone famous or just a random Vermont basketball player?

Bongs?

[warriorchick]

Bongs?

Mostly those noisemakers  that when you turn them over, they make a mooing sound.

And Jerry kept a gorilla costume in his filing cabinet for, you know, emergencies.

No. JLo is. So much hotter

Someone make sure they use a regulation Nike ball for the game on Friday, and not a WIIIIIIILL-SON.

Jeez, no one's heard of a little band called Phish? Bunch of n00bs

Actually, Mr. Swoop, not everyone from the band Phish actually graduated from UVM. Some, at one time, did  attend UVM but ended up graduating from Goddard College in Plainfield, VT. Most notably, Trey "dont call me Ernie" Anastasio began his academic career at UVM but graduated from Goddard. Trey went on to write masterpieces such as "The Man Who Stepped Into Yesterday", "You Enjoy Myself", "David Bowie", and "Tela" at Goddard.

Mike "boathouse" Gordon did graduate from UVM. And we all know how the rest of that story goes.....

Man that's awesome

[MUEng92]

Ha, I saw the photo of the player and wondered who it was. Then I saw someone asking who it was and I said to myself, yeah who’s that?  Then I realized the post was from 2017 and I was the one asking who it was.  Probably the closest I’ll come to a Time Machine

[oldwarrior81]

Is that ballplayer the Ginger Jesus?
