Finish The Sentence III

[Jeff Waegelin]

I said it would be back, and what do you know? It is. I figured we'd start a fresh one from the beginning, since it's been a while. The rules are simple. The person ahead of you leaves a sentence unfinished. You either finish that sentence and start a new one, or just continue the sentence and leave it unfinished for someone else. So, here goes:

This morning, I was walking out to the parking lot and...

[KyleGilbert45]

slipped on a large patch of ice that magically appeared under my feet.

I thought about how it might have gotten there and came to the conclusion that...

[Clark Gilbert]

I thought about how it might have gotten there and came to the conclusion that...
it was really cold and wet outside. So i decided to...

[Pat Fairbank]

...put some salt down so that no-one else would slip. But the problem was...

[Enslaved]

I couldn't find salt... I looked everywhere

[matt111]

but DJ and his evil avalanche stole it all. so i went to...

[Jay H 237]

....Home Depot. While I was there I ran into.......

[Steve782]

a mentor on my team. He also wanted me to pick up...

[Kiwi_queen]

a flower pot (some interesting idea he had for our robot). I thought this was odd but...

[Mike Heinowski]

I went along with it anyway. I was checking out when...

[Jeff Waegelin]

I ran into Big Mike working there at Home Depot. He said...

[shyra1353]

why are you buying a flowerpot? then i

[Alex Cormier]

took it out of my hands and broke it. then i...

[Enslaved]

...gave him one of those 'looks' and went back to get another one, when I....

[KyleGilbert45]

ran into Dean Kamen standing in the lighting department. I said.....

[Stina236]

"Dean, where's your segway!?" (really i was thinking, I adore you, will you marry me? hehe) when he replied....

[Bharat Nain]

by holding my hand and walking me to...

[Kiwi_queen]

the fluorescent bulbs, "you light up my life" and then...

[Rhs953]

The robot was magically done. WOW :yikes: :yikes:

[Steve782]

I had to get the robot out of the store, so I...

[Bharat Nain]

went bonkers search for some help and then suddenly...

[Jay H 237]

......Woodie Flowers came walking down the aile wearing an orange smock with "Woodie" in black magic marker on the front. He pionted to a cart and told me to...........

[nukemknight]

...get in it.

[matt111]

...get in it.



....u stopped it.....SO ILL RESTART


Now that we have arrived at our regional, we were shocked to see that...

[KyleGilbert45]

our pits were HUGE and the music being played was not boring. We decided that we should......

[shyra1353]

all make an octagon and ...

[Bharat Nain]

the music stopped playing all of a sudden so we...

[Steve782]

decided to get our CDs that were in...

[Bharat Nain]

our car and we started walking to the car when...

[Steve782]

Dean and Woddie appeared on the field. They told us...

[Kerry547]

... we really need your help with ...

[Stina236]

...those lightbulbs dean bought at home depo (reference the previous sentence :p ) you see the problem with them is...

[Kerry547]

...they seem to be made of plastic...

[Jay H 237]

...tubes. He told me to go to the courtesy desk and.........

[Aignam]

...ask the nice lady at the counter if...

[charlie_grr]

she happened to have any vanilla pudding and some....

[KyleGilbert45]

wood screws. Don't ask me why i needed wood screws but she replied....

[Bharat Nain]

.. that she just ran out of screws but she did have some ...

[Jake177]

duck tape. She asked if it would work and I said,...

[Steve782]

of course. And I said if it doesent work for this, we can use it for...

[Jay H 237]

....fixing all the balls we broke on our goal. We were walking away when we remembered.......

[Mike Heinowski]

Our pudding. We ran back and sliped on...

[Kiwi_queen]

a banana peel that had been carelessly discarded by...

[shyra1353]

... the nice lady at the counter. i started to ...

[Redhead Jokes]

reach for the barrel of monkeys nearby, but one bit me so...

[Jay H 237]

......I gave the monkeys my vanilla pudding so they wouldn't go after my hand again. Leaving the courtesy desk I headed for.........

[Aignam]

..the bathroom. Upon entering I saw a great big..

[shyra1353]

... blue apple. I wanted to ...

[Elgin Clock]

...eat the blue apple, but then Morpheus showed up with a red apple and asked me...

[Kiwi_queen]

if i wanted to see Robotics for what it really was and i said "yeah" so...

[Redhead Jokes]

the Radioactive Bathroom (http://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/showthread.php?t=24594) lit up, a segway appeared, I stepped on it and...

[Kerry547]

... woke up in some strange place...

[melissa]

I'm not sure what this place is...but I think it's a FIRST competition. The first thing I did there was...

[Bharat Nain]

... looked around for robots and...

[Richomundo]

all i saw were people being controlled by robots...

[Jay H 237]

....all the while riding Segways and stacking totes. Just then my Segway.....

[Pat Fairbank]

... fell over because it had a low battery and hadn't been sent back during the recall. So I ...

[shyra1353]

... decided to buy a new one. i went to ...

[Elgin Clock]

..Segway's R' Us and bought myself a fancy deluxe edition Segway which included three cupholders and....

[Kiwi_queen]

a candy dispenser. I thought this was so cool that i ...

[Steve782]

...didnt even notice the CD player and

[Bharat Nain]

... ended up walking away from it and...

[Aignam]

..Big Mike stole it and Segway-ed away at which point Woodie Flowers stopped him and said..

[shyra1353]

... where did you get the segway ? I thought ....

[Redhead Jokes]

to myself, "He's probably part of the conspiracy of the
ubiquitous robot attacks " so I...

instead ticked the boxes into giving their treasure and
