And the picture...

Now, since a vast amount of the group (myself included) will be in Atlanta for the Championship, I'm going to institute a few minor tweaks:

1) The deadline is midnight Friday. That way I can judge and pester the winner on Saturday and such. (That, and I'm going to be dead on Sunday anyway.)
2) I'll accept entries at the competition as well as here. The trick is finding me. I'll be working real-time scorekeeping, which means I'm on the field all day, but I'll still probably walk the pits. Look for the guy with scruffy hair, some sort of FIRST shirt (either volunteer, 1293, 180, or DSATKB), and the obligatory safety glasses.
3) As I am a card-carrying member of the Broke College Students of America, I highly doubt that there will be any surprise awards originating from Colatown. (Then again, anything is possible.)

So get to it!

[Amanda Morrison]

Howdy Doody makes a sad resurgence into pop culture.

[MissInformation]

"What?!? What are you looking at? This is what I wear to bed every night!"

[Kyle Love]

"I shall protect the totes with my life...and my microphone!"
"I am a brick wall...robots cant get through me! RAWR!"

[george56]

Captain Cowboy to the Rescue!!! (with his handy dandy microphone!)

[Koko Ed]

The mysterious Zorro the masked Jedi makes another appearance at a FIRST competition.

[Greg Needel]

new york city?!.....somebody get the microphone

[Arefin Bari]

George: Arefin, look I am special, I got the S.P.A.M. cape and the mic. I AM SPECIAL.

Arefin in the background..

You think you are. Stop talking or you get duct taped just like Billfred. =)

Tytus: WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE... DUCT TAPE.

[Daniel Brim]

[Family Guy Quote]
Lois: Peter, it's time for an intervention. You've been wearing that giant sombrero for 6 months now. Take it off. For us?
Peter: Hey, I can take this hat off whenever I feel like it. I just don't feel like it.
[/Family Guy Quote]

MissInformation (Heidi): [sobbing, with sounds of a straight jacket being tighened in the background] I was just making a few pictures of Dave in funny outfits. I thought it was just all in fun. But now people are dressing like the "Dave photos!" I saw this image and thought it would make a start for a good "Dave image." It looked like a great cartoon - but then I realized it was REAL! I keep telling people it was only a joke! But they keep taking it as serious fashion advice! And now I see cowboy-hat-wearing, cape-covered, hawaiian-shirt-begotten, flashlight-totin' versions of Dave everywhere I look! It was only a joke, I tell you! Yves Saint Laurent has threatened to take out a contract on me! Make them stop! [more sobbing]

[Joe Matt]

I have a giant novelty 10 gallon hat, a red cape, a shirt that looks like the cover of a Modest Mouse CD, and a flash light....

AND I KNOW HOW TO USE IT.

[Al Skierkiewicz]

Hey, Pard! I hear there's a new sheriff in town and he talks big and carries a little stick.

[Koko Ed]

*sigh* It's always about you isn't it, Dave? :p

[Jacqui]

George: *Holds on to pants for dear life* "I believe this proves my point, running around getting all of this stuff from all the many teams makes you lose weight.."

Someone in the background: "Why are you holding your pants? Isn't that the belts job?"

George: "Oh yeah...."

[shyra1353]

Don't look at me like that ... I could be Superman ...

[Shu Song]

Ahhh- don't look! Darn... you discovered my secret identity. I'm SUPER COWMAN!

[Rich Wong]

M’am, everything will be fine, BECAUSE as you can SEE by my uniform that I AM the NEW 2006 FIRST GP Sheriff. When I see GP, I immediately announce it to the world.

The 10-gallon Sheriff’s hat represents the HUGE commitment and gracious professionalism endorsed by Woodie Flowers. The Superman cape represents Dean’s quest for true, justices, and the American way. The Hawaiian shirt and over sized Khaki pant represents…….. represents….... urh ......
:)

[nehalita]

georgie porgy, cape and no tie
kissed the robot and made sparks fly

[Barry Bonzack]

...He's been going through an identity crisis since the day that Tonto quit.

[Ian Curtis]

Welcome our model, George. He is modeling the latest fad, a comination of several leading fashions in FIRST. We'll begin the Lavery based shirt, followed by the SPAM influenced cape, combined with the microphone of an announcer, add a 10 gallon hat (actually I'm 99 percent sure that hat couldn't hold 10 gallons but, whatever) just for kicks and whula.

[Kevin Kolodziej]

Cha-Cha Slide? NO!
YMCA? Definitely not!
Chicken Dance? Well...nope!
Its time for a good old Mexican Hat Dance! Where's my mariachi band??

<queue the trumpets>

Duh-nah na-na-na na-na-na na-na...na-na-na na-na-na na-na...duh-nah na-na-na- na-na-na na-na...na-na na-na-na-na-na-na-na.

I don't want to grow up, I'm a Toys-R-Us kid.................."

[Sakura141]

"I'm just like Edna Mode from the incredibles! I was asked by Superman himself to come up a new costume that he could use around the cowboys... this is what I came up with! You likey?"

"I'm SuperCowboy!!!!"

"Does this hat make my head look big?"

[Bcahn836]

Well I hope you come and see me in the movies
Then I know that you will plainly see
The biggest fool that ever hit the big time
And all I gotta do is act naturally.

The Beatles.

[NoRemorse]

"Don't act like your not impressed"

[Andy Baker]

"Operator BADGES?! We don't need no stinking operator badges!"

[EricS-Team180]

...in the end George put his academic pursuits on hold, while the call of the (robot) rodeo clown beckoned him ...

[DCA Fan]

Marvel recently tried to combine a few superheros, looking to Superman, Texas Ranger, and Star Wars for inspiration. The result, as shown here, obviously failed miserably.

[Rich Kressly]

Wanted: 7 gallons of cowboy to fill remainder of 10-gallon hat

[Travis Hoffman]

The local asylum's short bus was returned to full capacity today as the last escapee from the Flat Tire Incident of 2003 was found announcing at an offseason robotics competition. When asked by reporters why he allowed this obviously altered person to perform such a task, the event organizer said, "This is FIRST - all of our better announcers are visibly insane, and this dude's the best we've ever had!"

[RogerR]

george tries out for a spot on a village people cover band.

[Dorienne]

"If it hadn't been for FIRST robo
I woulda' been married along time ago
Where dija come from where dija go
Where dija come from FIRST robo!"

[Cyberguy34000]

Luke Skywalker going through a midlife crisis...

[Gary Dillard]

<not part of entry> thankfully I took "I mentored George1083" out of my profile before this picture appeared. Of course, that fact could explain the picture. </not part of entry>

A haiku:

7 years college

Cowboy George rocks. Word.

[Matt Attallah]

[not entry] MY LONG LOST 1/2 BROTHER!! :-p[/not entry]

Slow-Poke the kid - all grown up!

[tkwetzel]

"I am George, Dave's faithful sidekick!"

[Alex Pelan]

YIPPEE-YA-YA-YAY!

[Joe_P.]

Halloween either came early this year or he didn't get the memo that it isn't october yet

[Daniel Brim]

Luke, I am your father's uncle's aunt's brother's son's cousin's father's sister's mother's brother's son's cousin's daugher's mother's mother's brother's son's daughter's cousin's father's brother's son's cousin's aunt's father!

Noooooooooooo!

[Billfred]

I just had to make this more interesting.

If you ever want to know how my mind works, or you have nothing else to do at the time, I'll be judging this whole shin-dig at 8:00 AM in the Vex lounge-y area in the pits. The next contest will also be posted.

(Of course, this also means I have to somehow obscure my picture folder from the group--can't have y'all looking at my selection ahead of time!)

[Billfred]

This post was started in the Vex pits. Then I realized that there were way too many posts (I count 37 entries) and way too little time to get to Curie to judge, so I closed my laptop and started moving.

And moving.

And moving.

And next thing I knew, I was plugged up here at Preston again.

First place goes to...

I have a giant novelty 10 gallon hat, a red cape, a shirt that looks like the cover of a Modest Mouse CD, and a flash light....

AND I KNOW HOW TO USE IT.
Second place goes to...
