And, since this is the 45th caption contest, I figured I had to pick a picture of one of the most legendary 45ers out there:

http://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/pictures.php?s=&action=single&picid=9121&direction=ASC&sort=username&perrow=4&trows=10&quiet=Verbose

As always, the deadline is midnight Saturday.

Go!!

(don't feel bad, Andy--I'll find a worse picture of me when we hit contest number 1,293. of course, that'll be around 2029.)

[Joe Matt]

Before his more conservative work at Delphi and TechnoKats, Andy was refered to "Andrea- Queen of the Drive Systems".

[Daniel Brim]

In 2002, during a mid-life crisis, Andy decided to chase his childhood dream of being an exotic dancer. Obviously, the plan failed miserably

[Koko Ed]

"I'm so pretty. Oh so pretty...."

[nehalita]

"...It's only a boa, it doesn't bite"

[Bcahn836]

After Andy's failed attempt to get on Survivor, his team thought it would cheer him up to nominate him for Queer Eye for the Straight Guy. Good luck Andy.

[tiffany34990]

Andy thinks..."girls just gotta have fun"...well same for me...just cutting loose now after all the stress of those crazy FIRSTers..

[Rich Wong]

Andy B: "*Note to self, never, EVER, agree to a fundraiser unless I know what I’m getting into.*

HEY YOU… HELP TEAM 45 WITH A DOLLAR! HEY YOU… I'LL DANCE FOR YOU..."

[Wayne Doenges]

Andy makes a bet that a bunch of geeks could successfully form a rock 'n roll band....He lost the bet

"I'm so pretty. Oh so pretty...."
<not entry>Darn it you took what I was going to say!!</not entry>
Before his stint as a Ozzy Kamen, Andy Baker experiemented with impersonating pop stars , going as far as costumes. Unfortunately, as most agreed, Andy Baker does not do a good Cher impression.

[Arefin Bari]

Andy: Darn you guys, you guys caught me... please please please.. dont tell my wife that I was at the bar. Look, I will dance for you guys :)

[dlavery]

Andy tried as hard as he could to get the band to play "Just A Girl" at the DS&TKB (http://www.deansimmonsandthekamens.com/home) concert, but he just couldn't quite convince them that he could pull off the Gwen Stefani impersonation.

[Travis Hoffman]

Feeling a bit nostalgic and a lot inebriated, Jared Fogle (http://www.cnn.com/2003/SHOWBIZ/TV/11/17/subway.guy.ap/) gaily prances about at a local boozery with a size 60 feather-covered belt, revealing that not only did he weigh 425 pounds before the Subway Diet changed his life, he also used to be a female night club dancer named Jade.

[greencactus3]

i think i look like a flamingo..... dont i?

[Gary Dillard]

Budweiser announced a new strategy for their "Know when to say when" campaign: When this guy starts to look good to you, it's definitely time to say "when".

[not part of entry] You'd think someone as smart as Andy would know better than to have his picture taken with a pink boa. That's nearly as stupid as letting someone take a picture of you with a Barbie doll [/not part of entry]

[VGMasterShadow]

Hey, if I'm in the dark side, then where's Darth Vader?

[Ian Curtis]

Throughout his life Andy Baker tried to start several bands. Before he hit up on the idea of DS&KB he tried a stint as Wierd Al. Luckily for us, it failed and DS&KB was formed.

[Alex Pelan]

Believe it or not, before 45's drive team was known as "Long-haired Andy and the TechnoKats," they were known as "Short-haired Andy and the TechnoKats."

[Jacqui]

Round-trip plane tickets to Las Vegas: $547
Boots that go to the middle of his legs and several pick boas: $72.47
The pictures of what happened there: Priceless

There are some things money can't buy. For everything else there's MasterCard.

[EricS-Team180]

...having heard he'll save $100's on GEICO insurance, Andy grabbed the feather boa from the gecko and broke into a spontaneous rendition of Twist 'n Shout

( the gecko and boa are another story )

[Jay H 237]

This pic became proof that engineers should never give up thier day jobs! :p

[richardp]

What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas unless your Andy Baker when it becomes public information on CD.

[Dorienne]

Kyle: ANDY! SMILE!

Andy: HEEEY KYLE! *smiles big and fake, thinking to himself I'm gonna get you for taking this photo...*

<not in the entry>I know Kyle didn't take this picture. GO WITH IT.</not in the entry>

[Andy Baker]

Mae West has nothin' on me.


AB

[Denman]

Andy's 33rd birthday celebrations got off to a great start when the TechnoKats gave him a pink boa and proclaimed him queen of robotics. Unfortuneately he lost the crown as he had no money for the casinos....

[Rich Kressly]

I don't care if it is two am. There's no way I'm even making eye contact with whoever that is, let alone asking for spare gear box parts. Honestly, I'd rather have a robot that doesn't move at all!

[karinka13]

"come on, guys! I told you we couldn't win anything without boas and tiaras!"

[Barry Bonzack]

After the Rock & Roll idea failed, he was considering becoming a professional wrestler... or going into politics.

[MissInformation]

Though previously rejected by the producers of CBS's hit show, Andy Baker was recently selected to participate in next season's Survivor: Las Vegas.

[shyra1353]

Who needs robots .. I have pink frilly things around my neck ... ...

<not an entry> I think I have a skirt that would match perfectly Andy .. let me know if you want to borrow it some time <not an entry>

[Andy Baker]

"Oh God, NOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!
Why, why, why.... Why did I have to read this posting….
Oh the pain.... the suffering....... and soon the voices in my head…

For the rest of my life I will have the image of Andy when
I heard The Kinks singing Lola." :ahh:

I'm sorry, but Andy is not allowed to enter this blantant plagarism into the Unofficial Caption Contest -- UNLESS he absolutely guarantees that DS&TKB will perform "Lola" at IRI with himself in full, original costume as documented in the subject photo! If that condition is met, then I would move to accept by acclimation Andy as the winner of this week's contest.
</not an entry>

[Rich Kressly]

<not an entry> Great. Baker and Lavery just ruined the Kinks forever for me. These darn images are going to cause nightmares. Maybe I need to call my therapist. Besides, the best Kinks tune ever is Ape Man. Get the band to play that one and I'll travel anywhere to see it. Lola was overplayed. </not an entry>

<not an entry> Wow... I have a couple of Kinks CDs, but "Ape Man" is one I don't recognize. Kressly, maybe you should check out "Old Man" by Neil Young. <not an entry>



Lola

[Katie Reynolds]

Andy:

"... Guys, I totally should have gotten that part in Moulin Rouge over Nicole Kidman! Check this out!" (sings) "A kiss on the hand may be quite continental, but diamonds are a girls best friend!" ... "Don't you think? Guys? ... Guys?"

[Rich Wong]

<not an entry> Wow... I have a couple of Kinks CDs, but "Ape Man" is one I don't recognize. Kressly, maybe you should check out "Old Man" by Neil Young. <not an entry>

Sad.... not only are we showing our age with the songs and singers we know.
We're starting to loose our memories already. ;)

(singing) "...I'm too sexy for my shirt too sexy for my shirt so sexy it hurts..."

Lola

I've seen Neil Young five times and have collected most of his work. Old Man works, but Powderfinger, Cinnamon Girl, and Down by the River are better in my book.

Here are the Apeman details:

Diehard Kinks fans know...

[Billfred]

Congratulations, page three posters (well, most of you) for talking Greek to me. (Now I'm going to have to do some research at the record store with all that birthday cash.)

As for Dave's complaint against Andy, I went all the way back to Caption Contest #1 and dug out the rules...

-Entries will be scored by me on originality, or in the absence of that, dry humor.
Now, one can make the case that applying external media to the caption contest can be done in an original manner. So the entry is fair game.

That said, first place goes to...
