[JVN]

Not an Entry:
Ohhh THIS should be fun. Nobody hold back now...
Feel free to give him the full brunt of the "bald" jokes I've been getting.
/Not an Entry.

[Kyle Love]

John: "Let me look at my statistics and see which one of us really got bald faster...."

[Bcahn836]

John- "I wonder if FIRST provided the formula for hair growth?"

[Jay Trzaskos]

Mr. Neun - "let's see here Jay. No use of duct tape... check"
Mr. Neun - "all the electronics and pneumatics are good... Check"
Mr. Neun - "Hmm., the only problem is your use of radioactive materials. Hold on, I know who you are Jay. You started that JVN is a dweeb thread on Chief Delphi. I guess I can let this hazerdous materials thing slide..."
Jay - Wow, thanks Mr. Neun!"
Mr. Neun - No problem, (writing on pad) 'inspection passed.' "

[Not an entry] yeah i know i wasn't at the NYC regional... and w00t, I'm in FIRST place[/Not an entry]

[Also Not an entry]haha, everyone now: JVN is bald, JVN is bald... :p :D [/Also Not an entry]

[KathieK]

"Darnit, I really wanted to be a Ref, not an Inspector... I don't understand why they thought my being near the playing field might interfere with the cameras seeking the vision tetras... It's not like the lights bounce off my head or anything..."

[Arefin Bari]

Mr. Neun walks up to team 47's pit to inspect their robot...

Pit crew members: This time we are ready Mr. Neun.

Mr. Neun: You know there is a easy way to pass this inspection right?

Pit crew members: What's that?

Mr. Neun: Make fun of JVN's bald head and compliment to me about my nice hair.

[Ben Lauer]

Neun - So your saying that chainsaw is non-functional decoration?
Student - Yes, The chainsaw doesn't work because we had to use the spark plugs in our lawn mower.
Neun - Well...I still can't pass you because you have a lawn mower and that contains "sharps" that could damage the carpet.
Student - Don't look at it as "damage" but as maintenance.
Neun - Oh...

[EricH]

Team Member: here comes Neun! take cover! his head is blinding!
(team members hide)
Neun: Where is everyone? They can't tell me about their robot. Hmm...FAIL.

[Andy Baker]

OK... for the last time, yes, my name tag does say "John Neun" and I am JVN's father. No, I'm not going to introduce my son to you, as he is probably too busy signing autographs or designing martini-pouring Vex robots. Let's drop the JVN stuff and get to this inspection.

[xzvrw2]

"The list of teams that are in the JVN club....hmmm fail, fail, fail, fail..."

[Jay Trzaskos]

[not an entry]I like how the photo is of John Neun, and everyone is still making fun of JVN[/still not an entry]

[Ashley Christine]

Student: I wonder that if I take a picture of John with the flash on... if the flash will reflect of his head!
John: Dont you dare take a picture of me! I will fail your bot!
Student: Too late! Hahahaha.
John: "Good thing I used anti glossy gel in my hai... on my head today :-)"

[Rich Wong]

Over heard at the 2034 FIRST Competition

" *Cough, cough* Alright guys…My name is John V. Neun.
Cough. Yes, I'm the real one.
I’m here to inspect your robot.

Ok... where are your calculations for maximum motor load.
I want to see the current draw vs. load torque diagrams.
Let me see your calculation for gearbox load.
Did you calculate the motor current draw and robot velocity over time?

Well sonny, I’m waiting…..

*Silence*

Sigh, Just as I thought.

You young JVN-Want-A-Be have it made these days.
When I was young, I build my own gearbox with my own two hands.
I was the best, I tell you, I was the best….

None of these silly prefabricated perpetual engines, virtual transmissions, and ionized-geometry sensors were available in the good old days. They’re for wimps. " ;)

[DCA Fan]

I wonder if you can use John Neun's head to concentrate a beam of light and blind the other alliance....hmmm.....

[Dorienne]

Mr. Neun: ALRIGHT SPREAD 'EM!
Student: Er, Mr. Neun sir, it's a robot...with no legs..
Mr. Neun: I know. I just always wanted to say that.
Student: *whispers to JVN* Your dad's weeeeird...
Mr. Neun: ONE MORE COMMENT LIKE THAT AND I'LL FAIL YOUR INSPECTION.
Student: ...
Mr. Neun: Exactly.

[Bcahn836]

According to NASA's extensive calculations it has been determined that John will be completely bald by the end of the 2006 season due to high stress levels from constant mockery from the chiefdelphi gang.

[Jay H 237]

Man, I thought judging would be easy, instead I got more paperwork than what's required when applying for a mortgage!

[Jeremiah Johnson]

In National Geographic:
"This here is the rare, silver-back gorilla. As rare as it is with hair, it is even rarer without. You, reader, are one SPECIAL person, as you will never see another in your life."

[Travis Hoffman]

In the neverending battle of supremacy between father and son, John Neun the Elder can rest assured he will win one key battle, for he, at his advanced age, STILL has at least some hair on his head. His son will not be as fortunate.

[EddieMcD]

Not pictured: JVN on his knees thanking the Powers That Be that the baldness gene comes from the mother's side.

[Mike Schroeder]

JN Senior: BWHAHAHAHA I Shall finally get my revenge, for i am truly the bette Nuen, AND ALL SHALL COWER IN FEAR AS I FAIL THEM !!!!! BWHAHAHAHAHA.... On a Side note, Kids, stop obbessing over JVN, BIg Mike is way cooler and so much smarter, and he has hair.:p

[Koko Ed]

"I've checked every FIRST document and I don't see anything that states that my son John is supposed to be ridiculed publicly at least once a wekk on Chiefdelphi..."

[MissInformation]

"Dave Lavery says it's pimp? I don't care if the Pope says it's pimp, it still doesn't pass inspection!"

[Andrew Rudolph]

"Why is everyone looking away from me...oooh right, sunglasses arent saftey glasses."

[spears312]

O, did you miss that memo about the new TPS report covers?

[nehalita]

Neun: mwap mwap mwap mwap.
Student: but it's supposed to be shiny and reflecty and smooth and hairless
Neun: MWAP MWAP MWAP!
Student: .... no sir i wasn't talking about your head ... yes sir... i really was talking about my robot sir...
Neun: mwap mwap mwap....
Student: it's okay sir... your son will keep you company

[Amanda Morrison]

Mr. John Neun looks down in disappointment at his new Robot Inspector's task. Mr. Neun was serving as Field Reset, until FIRST had figured out that his glare was the cause of their recalibrating the cameras every match.

[Gary Dillard]

(me to my wife) "Honey, there's something wrong with my monitor. It's like I'm looking into a mirror."

[kjhobin]

Student: (looking at robot) Oooo... Shiny!
Neun: You say something like that one more time and im going to fail you! you dont want that right?
Student: Is it my falt your head shines light on the robot
Neun: Have fun failing!

[Denman]

Student:AAAAHHH Its so Bright
JN:Yes, its a safety feature. Like a lighthouse of sorts.

[N/a]This was at nyc... i noticed quite a few nyc teams posting in response lol

[Meredith343MiM]

What Mr. John Neun never told anyone about his inspections- he didn't pass everyone because he felt nice, or their robots were in order... nope... he passed them since he had no idea what the papers said because of the apparant glare. :rolleyes:

[not an entry] billfred- i refuse to be a loser! [not an entry]

[EricS-Team180]

...and about that highly polished dome protecting your FRC...
I can't see anything in the rules to dis-allow it....hmmm... And, for some reason <shakes head> it seems so oddly familiar!

[Daniel Brim]

As an extra safety feature, NYC pit administration was handing out tinted safety glasses to all competitors.

[Travis Hoffman]

[not an entry]

I must say that collectively, this week's entries have been the funniest I've ever read for one contest, I think. Mine pales in comparison to some of your truly devilish concoctions. Bravo.

The name "Neun" just brings out the best (or worst??) in public ridicule, I guess.

[/not an entry]

[JVN]

Amanda (to John): "Well... think of it this way, the future is looking bright!"

[JackN]

Yep now i have all the pieces to my super hair regrowth beam.

[Kyle Love]

*at a halloween store*
Clerk: "Attention customers! John Neun wigs now on sale! Complete your JVN set with the elder one!"
Me: "Mom I so need that!"
Clerk:" your total is $2.29 sir"
Me: "Isn't that wierd!"

[Ryan Foley]

Student to fellow team-mate: I thought they got rid of the rotating dome lights after 2002.
Mr. Neun: What are you looking at?!

[Goober!!!]

John "Ahhhhhh papers papers papers " throws them away "I dont like these papers the make me BALD" :D :D :D

[Gary Dillard]

I think you have me mistaken with my.... excuse me? You'd like to buy me dinner? Oh, well uh, thank you; I'm glad you liked my chassis kit.

[dlavery]

Look, I don't care what you say. Covering your robot with Rogaine will NOT get you extra brownie points with the judges!

[Billfred]

You know it's a big week when all the tabs in Firefox run off the screen.
