In a report published in The New England Journal of Medicine, it was revealed that a strain of sentient flesh-eating bacteria is now infecting people solely to display their obsession with the recent "I am JVN" craze.

James Victor Newman was tired of people asking for his name, so drastic measures were taken...
"Yeah man, chicks dig big muscles... and JVN."

If that is for JVN i would hate to see the tribute to Dave.

Due to the possibility of a copyright infringement, FIRSTers are getting "I am JVN" tatooed on them instead of the FIRST logo.
I may have had too many wobbly pops but I will always be able to remember who I am.

ohhh how sexy. but of course thats photoshopped right? no. not the "I am JVN" part but the bulging muscles. what? they're real? well i guess some robotics geeks get a workout lugging around heavy robots :rolleyes:
Eugenia Gabrielov

Now that I'm all cool with a tattoo, maybe I'll get some of them fine robot ladies at Nationals. Wait, what do you mean surgery isn't enough???

<entry>Genia: Think he really got that done? Or do you think it was temporary?
Me: Temporary. The dude seems too chicken to get it professionally done. Heard he's scared of needles. *laughs*</entry>
(Just joking man.)

"That was just after the first trip. I still have to go back for the coloration." End result: 'I am JVN' with a pink heart around JVN.

What you don't see is Dave's name on the other arm inside of a krispey kreme donut box, with empty sugan circles on the inside. :D

"But Mom... All the other kids' Moms just label their underwear when they go away to summer camp for a week..." :mad:
"Maybe now I can beat that pencil neck NASA-Enginerd Lavery in an arm wrestling contest... grrrrr! I AM JVN!"
Amanda Morrison

Sadly, an adoring fan had to resort to a JVN tattoo when the surgery to rival Dave Lavery's legs was just too expensive.
the mysterious murderer was leaving an odd clue on his victims

Just in case he loses his arm, He will have his name on it. You wouldn't understand how common it is to lose an arm. It's like losing a sock.
Hello, I am JVN, I am VGMasterShadow.

Look - it's cool to have a weenie arm like JVN!

Billfred! Oh Billfred!!! I think this one should be disqualified, Gary's trying to do away with me again just so he can win... seriously, I just almost choked to death on the peppermint I was eating... now all my co-workers want to know why I just made a sound not unlike a cat coughing up a hairball...
Not to mention he's trying to encourage Dave to do away with me (not like Dave needs anymore encouragement to do that)...
Sigh. I know, it doesn't count since I already made an entry for this week.
Just you wait, Mr. Dillard... I've got your number now!

(looks at the posts) Between Heidi's earlier entry, and the fact that Gary's entry is a) a legitimate entry, and b) nothing beyond the reasonable limits of the contest, I have to declare that The Heidi Foster Rule is not applicable here.
However, it should be noted that I only score the last entry made by a person before the deadline. Therefore, Heidi could theoretically follow the spirit of good-natured oneuppsmanship (or is it oneuppswomanship in her case?) and post another entry before Friday night at midnight.
In any case, game on!

Okay, I'll submit another entry (especially since Elgin took off with mine and made it better...) Does this mean that Gary is now in trouble? I know it wasn't really a feat of engineering, however he is an engineer and he has feet, feet which did walk him to his computer, so have you guessed where I'm going with this now... feet of engineering... Sigh. Never mind, here's my new entry:
In an effort to help JVN score with the ladies, his friends wrote some down lines he could use after he said hello:
Right arm: “I am JVN”
Left arm: “Are you from Tennessee? Because you're the only ten I see!”
Right palm: “Pardon me miss, I seem to have lost my phone number, could I borrow yours?”
Left palm: “Do you believe in love at first sight, or should I walk by again?”
Headline story from the January 22, 2005, Boston Herald: "approximately 1,917 people around the country were suddenly struck blind earlier today. The sudden cases of sympathic blindness are believed to have been occured when the group realized that the image they had been closely examining was not an image of a tatooed bicep, but actually a close-up photograph of "Jon-Va-Noon's" thigh in all it's flexing glory. Physiologists are not sure how long the effects may last. Said one, "we are still trying to figure out if the optic shock they have experienced was due to the realization of what might lie just off-frame of the image, or the fact that a thigh could be that nasty looking. Either way, the recovery from the blindness is sure to be followed by years of therapy."
...years of therapy.
Have you ever been eating something, and seen something so incredible disturbing, that it made you choke and spit crumbs all over your LCD screen?
Sigh.
I started this, and I will finish this. Just you wait "Mr. Lavery"...
JV
Hoping to gain an edge on the ladies, phrontist tattoos the best pickup line around to his arm. His other arm has the second place winner, Dave Lavery's "That's pimp."

Well, this was an eventful caption contest. Near-death experiences, rulings on what is or isn't a feat of engineering, and more candidates for the burn award than I've seen in a long time.
Which makes it really freaking hard to pick a winner--but I guess I'll have to try! So first place goes to...
Heidi: "That's nothing; you should see where I have 'I ♥ Dave Lavery' tattooed - I'd post a picture but I'm afraid it violates the forum rules"
And second place...
"But Mom... All the other kids' Moms just label their underwear when they go away to summer camp for a week..." :mad:
Now, I'm going to experiment a bit this week. Usually I'm really loose with honorable mentions, and quite often I've toyed with the idea of trimming back on them. This week, since they're all really good, I'm going to give it a shot. I count 25 entries remaining (28 valid entries, minus the two above and the burn award), so I'm going to pick 13.
And the honorable mentions, in no particular order...
