CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #105

[Billfred]

Whoooooooooa, we're halfway there, whoooooo-ooooooa!....er, wait, I think I'm a little too happy that we're halfway done up here.

Normally, the scores would go here. But since it's the first caption contest of the year, there's not exactly any scores.

In essence, each week a picture goes up. Your task is to come up with the funniest and/or most original caption for it. First place gets ten points, second gets five, honorable mentions are worth two, the burn award (for the best zinger of the week) is three, and everyone winds up with a point for giving it a shot.

Here's this week's picture:

The deadline is Friday night at midnight EDT, unless you get lucky and happen to get a post in before I read it.

Go!

"I'm serious guys. If these robots start up again while I'm out on the field I'm calling 911!"

[JaneYoung]

Ok, so these little red flags are giving me a b-i-g clue -
I'm just going to take one giant step backwards a-way from the robots and
if anything goes wrong, I have my insurance/contact information right here.
Ok, easy does it now, softly - swiftly - done

[Kyle A]

After being shot in the head during the last match, Jeff desides to come out with his hands up to show the 6 robots that he is unarmed, and he begs them not to open fire on him. While he does so he beings to sing Why can't we be friends, Why can't we be friends, Why can't we be friends, Why can't we be friends!!

[Dan Petrovic]

"Gimme an R! Gimme an O!..."

[Rick TYler]

"Jeff? This is your mother. You know dear, just because it's a nice t-shirt and a nice aloha shirt, doesn't mean they look nice together. It's like I always tell you, sweetie, you build the robots the way you want, but trust your mom and only wear clothes where the animals match."

[Travis Hoffman]

Jeff (mid-pout):

*flailing arms up and down and whining in the style of a 2-year old with a gap* "But I don't wanna be an em-thee anymo-o-oooooooo'! It's hot out here and the wobots are scarewy!" I wanna be an announther like Thteve Warren! Clowns make Jeffy laugh. Jeffy likes clowns!"

[Al Skierkiewicz]

Jeff, pleading with the software gods....
"Please let the count be swift, the computers be accurate and the decision be true. This is the thirteenth try and we will have to have robots change batteries if we have another false start. Please let the FIRST Tech Advisor be your tool and get the job done. Let this be a good run"

[skimoose]

As the countdown to autonomous began... Three... Two...

Jeff thought to himself, "Uh Oh, is there too much green in this Hawaiian shirt?"

One... :ahh:

[Taylor]

NO YMCA JOKES! Too obvious!

Why is he attempting to guide a 747 onto the playing field?

[Jay H 237]

After the DJ equipment failed at the comp the refs would get on the field between matches and do stand up comedy. This "entertainment" was short lived though. Not only did FIRST have to deal with the broken equipment that day they also wound up postponing most of the matches the rest of the day as they cleaned rotted vegtables out of the playing field carpet. Now you also are aware of the real reason they don't allow you to bring your own food into the venues anymore.

[Cuog]

"aww stop hitting me in the back with poof balls, if one more programmers makes the camera track me in autonomous im gonna turn off your robot!!!"

[Dylan]

*Jeff singing under his breath to himself*

"Domo Arigato, Mr. Roboto, Domo Arigato, Mr. Roboto.
And thank you very much oh Mr. Roboto, for not shooting me, with poof balls aga-ain..."

[Wayne Doenges]

Lot number 1501 (shameless team # plug), we have this great robot that will do just about anything. It will score 10 balls in autonomous mode, it can push with the best of them and it can easily score the ramp.
What do I hear?
$200.00, I have $200 do I hear $250?
250, 250 I have 250, I need 300.
500? I have $500!
Going once. Going twice. Sold to Dave Lavery.

Jeff: The end of days is coming! Lock your doors, board you windows, Ragnarok is here! The robots are the coming darkness here to take us all! Repent I tell you, repent! Throw away your sinful ways of forcing robots into servitude and accept your new masters!
IFI rep: Dave, Jeff's been sniffing that magic smoke again to find 'enlightenment' can you 'dispose' of him, we've got a match to run.
Dave (Gets on knees): Save me from The Beast, I believe, I believe!

"Work it Girls! Let me hear you say Bikini!"

[/Richard Simmons]

[Dorienne]

Jeff: Please tell me that salt I threw over my shoulder didn't get on a robot...
*robot behind him short circuits*
Jeff: Ohhhhh...*runs off like in the anime tv shows*

[Greg Needel]

"alright boys and girls if you close your eyes and think really hard anything can happen...."<thinks to self>I hope they aren't thinking about abolishing Hawaiian shirts, cause I LOVE EM'</thinks to self>

[Steve S.]

thinking to himself: good robot, good...dont shoot! *poof ball at back of head* Ouch!

[EddieMcD]

"Hello, target practice."

<not entry>w00t! Bronze medal! Okay, I'll stop dancing. :p</not entry>

[MissInformation]

For reasons known only to him, Jeff decided that before every match he would have everyone in the audience do the Funky Chicken. 12.34 seconds after this photo was taken, Jeff was struck simultaneously by 5 robots. 2.1 seconds after that, the sixth robot hit him. Police suspected fowl play, however, despite thousands of people in the audience, no witnesses came forward, and the case soon went cold.

[Rich Wong]

After the scoring system died again, Jeff desperately tries to entertain the restless crowd with his weak rendition of the B-witched song “Mickey.”

Oh Mickey…..
you’re so fine ……
you’re so fine you blow my mind,
Hey Mickey (huff huff),
Hey Mickey (huff huff)….

[Travis Hoffman]

For reasons known only to him, Jeff decided that before every match he would have everyone in the audience do the Funky Chicken.

Police suspected fowl play

[Billfred]

I apologize in advance if this one comes off incoherent; I've been living caffeine-free today. (I've got a little under half of my 24-pack of Diet Pepsi left, and I've gotta make it last through the end of camp.)
