Yep it's just as I thought. The constant hair coloring has sent the readings off the charts, Steve and now the color has permantly seeped into your brain.

[GaryVoshol]

"We're losing him - Paddles - Stat!"

[sciencenerd]

(person holding glowing window motor): Come on, once won't hurt you... all the guys are doing it, just sniff the burning plastic...

(Steve): ok, fine, but just once! *sniffs magic smoke coming from window motor* wow, I suddenly feel a strong desire to spend six weeks in a small area with 30 obnoxious high schoolers designing a robot!

(person with window motor): Yes, now you're in a more reasonable mood. There is this program that we like to call FIRST...

...and the rest is history. :D

[JaneYoung]

good, good, robotic hypnosis is working -

now - where did you put the programmer?
pro-gram-mer

the one we can't leave home without - that programmer -
oh, under the coats - sleeping - ok, good

hello, wake up now, I've snapped my fingers, hello?

- build - *sigh* -back to the 'bot, yawn - now where did I put the robot?

[Jay H 237]

We needed one more of these and hoped you didn't mind that we took this from your car. Don't worry, we were kind enough to not take the one from the driver's window. :p

[Taylor]

"I can't believe I ate the whole thing."

(Note: This joke will likely not be understood by those under the age of 25. Expect a similar disclaimer when a CC photo warrants the caption, "Where's the beef!?!")

[Rick TYler]

Yeah, I remember the excitement of my first auto motor. Good times.

Good times.

[Freddy Schurr]

"I had too much F.I.R.S.T water to drink"

[Goober!!!]

I figured out the next FIRST challenge, How to transfer a motor to make a mentor sleepy!!! :D :D :D

[nehalita]

-"I asked for my order not a motor"
-"...It is! It's soup!..."
-"You need sleep"

[Travis Hoffman]

*In snooty British/Canadian accent*

Why yes, my name is Warren.....Steve Warren. And I do take my window motors shaken, not wired, eh.... Now leave me! It's aboot time I returned to my baccarat game with Karthik and Vance Scott.

[lukevanoort]

Steve, tried of hearing Tristan's "A window motor walks into a bar" joke decides to use his training as an Indian mystic, and meditate...

[Rich Wong]

Inspector: "This 2003 window motor fell out of your 2006 robot during inspection. Are you responsible for this?"

Steve: (looking unconcerned) "I have never seen that window motor before.
You can’t get anything out of me. I’m not talking. You got nothing on me.
You can’t make me talk. (Looks alway)"

Inspector:"Alright boys, bring in the headphones and the recording of the 2005 Championship Closing Ceremony speeches."

Steve: "Nooooo!"

[Andy Baker]

Hmmm... should I feel bad about telling Billfred that it was a good idea to drive their robot with Window Lift Motors? Naaaa.





AB

[Dylan]

"Our readings show you have all the symptoms of an acute FIRST overdose, Steve. High blood-pressure, fatigue, poor diet and an overall frustration with teenagers."
"Our medical computer recommends that you get some sleep, relax, eat a salad and...... use...more...deodorant?

[EricH]

Steve: *thinks* Don't laugh...don't laugh...don't laugh...
Student: Maybe it would work better if we powered the motor up.

[Danielle H]

Person off to the side: "What's this thing do?"
Guy in Picture: "DON'T TOUCH THAT!"
*Snatches*
Guy in Picture: "...it's our secret weapon..."
Person off to the side: "...okay..." *Mumbles* "Note to self: find the number for the funny farm."

[skimoose]

Captain, tricoder readings on this lifeform are most unusual. :cool:

[Alex Cormier]

....mmmm mmmmmmmm mmmmmmmmm ooooooooooo ter, now say it with me without your crazy canadian accent...

(steve, don't hurt me)

[Swan217]

Entry 1: That's it - a little lower. This new love handle massager works GREAT!

Entry 2:
Steve: You're mad Goldfinger! Do you expect me to talk?
Goldfinger: No, Mr. Warren, we expect you to MC!!! Well, actually, that requires talking, so... yes!

[Steve W]

Student: Here is the compressor.
Steve (to self); Be calm, be cool! Remember he is only in his second year of robotics.

[EddieMcD]

"Oooooohhh... shiiiiiiiinnnyyyyy...."

[Wayne Doenges]

Guy with window motor: "Look Steve, I found the golden window motor!!!! I get to go to Dean Kamen's factory and see all his robotic secrets!!!"
Steve: Thinks to self 'What can I do to get that motor from this student? I know "How about a Mt Dew?"
Guy with WM: "Sure"
Steve: "That was too easy"

[MissInformation]

The finance subgroup has embezzled the team's funds and ran away to Vegas.
Freshmen managed to burn down the shop.
Their Chairman's entry started with "We waz the bestest teem this yeer."
And this motor is the only piece of the robot that made it back from Georgia...
But Steve doesn't care... he's thinking Arby's.

[Billfred]

<obviously not an entry>

Just letting everybody know, SCE&G has found the lamest way ever to cap off my birthday--cutting power since about 6:30 PM. As I'm on battery power with the iBook, and currently have about 1:16 left, there may be a slight delay in judging until I can either get power again or drag myself out of the house (including what I imagine will be a very cold shower) to find a place with a power outlet and free wi-fi.

[nehalita]

<entry? no>
sorry Billfred? I remember what being w/o power was like.... i suggest NOT going out at night because of the traffic lights (trust me it was a nightmare in south florida). good luck w/ getting your power back. and don't sacrifice a hot shower for anything, drive to a place you can get a hot shower. cold showers ruin your mood like no tomorrow. gluck. happy bday...
</entry? still no>

(Not an entry - In your defence birthday boy - I think Steve would understand the delay. In this case he probably wouldn't notice a thing - )

<also obviously not an entry>
Don't worry, the town is safe. Streetlights, stop lights...just no power to my house (or any on the block, it seems). For some reason (legend has it that my area has the oldest power grid around), we just seem to get the short end of the stick.

Well..... Happy Birthday! More power to ya! :)
<not an entry>

[Taylor]

<Belated entry>
Use this window motor and a 12V battery to heat your water for a nice hot shower.
<End of belated entry>

[Steve W]

( In this case he probably wouldn't notice a thing - )


Pardon? I notice all, I am just a bit slower at doing so. :rolleyes:

[Billfred]

Well, the power turned back on last night about 2:30 AM. (Just as I was about to doze on the couch in the sunroom, which is about the coldest room in the house without outside help. Figures.)

First place goes to:

Steve, tried of hearing Tristan's "A window motor walks into a bar" joke decides to use his training as an Indian mystic, and meditate...

Second place goes to:

Guy with window motor: "Look Steve, I found the golden window motor!!!! I get to go to Dean Kamen's factory and see all his robotic secrets!!!"
Steve: Thinks to self 'What can I do to get that motor from this student? I know "How about a Mt Dew?"
Guy with WM: "Sure"
Steve: "That was too easy"
