Yes, and make sure to move at least one armor division into this region of western Germany. Can you say "Ruhr Valley" girls? Good!

You'll make daddy very happy some day...

[raymaniac]

Robot (not not picture) (NOT a puke-bot) (hopefully): <wakes up> "AHHH! Who took my ball bearings?!?"

Girl on far right: "Did anyone else hear some screaming?"

Andy (thinks): If the bot finds out it was me again he'll stop going easy on me when we play."

[Goober!!!]

Baker: All right you see you can win right now just jump that "checker" then that one OHH then that one don't forget that one and then that "checker"... AND YOU WIN!!! :D :D :D

[BlondeNerd]

Girl on far right: "Only nerds play checkers with ball bearings!"
Everyone else in picture: "Duh!"

[Koko Ed]

http://www.chiefdelphi.com/media/img/843/84386a66f1b6d611d6b6e904f68ec868_m.jpg
Daughter: But dad! I wanted a PS3 for Christmas!
Andy: PS3 is a total rip off! I mean who wants to dish out $600 for a game console? Not this dad! Now shut up and play with these cool ball bearings that I brought back from the shop for you!

[Dan Petrovic]

"He's only getting them prepared and familiar with ball-bearings for the future. Maybe we'll see them playing Chess with 1/4 20's."

[JaneYoung]

With snow bearing down on the Baker family, a game or two of checkers was in order. The girls had a ball though nothing quite shielded them from their square father's blinding attempt to fashion coordinate with the checker board. They sought comfort in knowing that geeks are geeks, Baker life is good, and Mom was making hot chocolate. With marsh mellows.

[taylort]

Andy-"Ooh, ooh, I call winner, I call winner!"

[efoote868]

Little did the Baker family know that soon 200 viscously graciously professional 120 lb robots, 1 guy with puke, donuts, salmon, and bananas, and 10 people on Segways would soon be smashing through their house... looking for their lost bearings.

[Jay H 237]

"Now make sure you block the Timken with the SKF."

[KathieK]

"Dad! We've already played "Twister" (http://www.chiefdelphi.com/media/photos/24789), "Poofball Chutes and Ladders" and "Andyland"... I don't think this version of Checkers is going to be a hit, either..."
Mom in background, "I told you, AndyMark should stick to what it knows best, and leave the games to Dave!"

[dlavery]

Andy - "Ooh, ooh, I call winner, I call winner!"
<continuing the thought>
Rachel - "No way, Dad. You suck."
Lucy - "We need a challenge, not a wussy player!"
Isabel - "And no fair calling "yellow card!" when you don't like the play!"

[Rich Wong]

Andy, “Ok kids, we are finished testing Uncle Dave’s 2007 Game and proved that even a small child can figured out the rules. We now have to come up with a name for the new game. You first….”

Isabel- Checkers?

Lucy- King Me FIRST!

Rachel- Draughts.

Andy, “What?”

[Schnabel]

As Lucy beat Rachel for the 4th time in a row, it was time for someone else to try.

You have to start them young now a days! :D

[Wayne Doenges]

Andy: "Daddy brought home some bearings for you to play with. Mark tried to press them into a slightly smaller hole. These are the bad ones."
Little girl: "But daddy, why are there so many of them?"
Andy: *sigh* "Just keep playing."

[Steve W]

With Christmas bearing down on the Bakers, Andy thought that a little relaxation would help them coast into the season. Driven by their dad the girls find the going not so smooth. Andy's remarks are like small pieces of dirt that cause the game to grind to a halt. As per norm, mom arrives and like a well greased machine, and is able to remove Andy from the area. The game starts back up and now runs very smoothly. Moral of the story is "If everything is running smooth, sit back, coast and enjoy the ride. If someone becomes like a little speck bearing down on your game of life, remove them before the ride grinds to a halt."

[Graham Donaldson]

Andy: "Almost there, girls. Put those down smoothly and then you can start playing."

Girl on far right: "Ah, ah, ah, ah-chooooooooo!!!!"

(roll...) clink, clink, clink

Girl on far left: "Aww... now we have to set them all up again!"

Andy: "Apologize!"

Girl on right: "But Daddy..."

Andy: "Apologize!"

Girl on right: "Sorry..."

Andy: "Now go get a tissue!"

Andy thinking: Maybe we try using Mecanum rollers???

[Cynette]

<not an entry>First of all... awwwwwwwwww! <not an entry>

Girl holding bearing: Daddy, a bearing has an inner race, right?
Andy (proudly): Right.

Girl holding bearing: and a bearing has an outer race, right?
Andy (more proudly): Right.

Girl holding bearing: and a bearing has special very smooth round balls, right?
Andy (even more proudly): Right.

Girl holding bearing: and they come in different sizes to support different loads, right?
Andy (bursting with pride): Right.

Girl holding bearing: and some are sealed, right?
Girl in white (interupting impatiently) : Daddy, make her stop stalling and move her checker so I can jump it!!

[Taylor]

Life at the Baker house: Loser cleans the hog barn floor. Soooooeeeee!

<not part of entry> Aw, don't give me that, anybody that's ever done that knows it builds character. Just remember to wear the "special" boots. Besides, it beats cleaning up the field after Dave's VEX game. </not part of entry>

[Dave Scheck]

In the Baker household, there's always a dilemma when playing AndyMark checkers....who gets to be Andys (or is that Andies??) and who gets to be the Marks.

[skimoose]

Dad, no offense, but we have more fun playing checkers with Mom. At least we can eat the cookies afterward. :p

[EricH]

Shortly after this picture was taken, the following was heard:
"Dad, a piece came apart!"
"NOOOO! Now we have to find all the small balls so we can keep playing! This could take forever!"
"Relax, kids. I'll build a robot to do the job for us. The only problem is, I'll need the other game pieces..."

[Al Skierkiewicz]

Daddy,
These are really cool looking checkers but they keep rolling off the board. And what's all this gooey stuff all over my hands, ewwwww!

[Andy Baker]

me, complaining: "Lucy, quit wiggling. You've got a boney bottom."


.

[Gary Dillard]

Who knew you could have this much fun with 1 geek and 12 F.A.G.'s

[not part of entry] I know the bearing company doesn't have periods after the letters, but CD rules won't let me spell it out [/not part of entry]

[Cuog]

"king me... wait is that my checker or yours, maybe using identical bearings wasn't such a good idea afterall...

[Ian Curtis]

Andy: What are you doing exactly?
Lucy: We're training. We don't want to lose like she (http://www.chiefdelphi.com/media/photos/24498?) did.

[MissInformation]

Andy was so busy with AndyMark and getting ready for kick-off that he forgot to go shopping for Christmas, but like any good engineer, he came up with a quick solution and made their presents from left over parts. The girls thought the ball bearings checkers were fun, however they drew the line at the dolls he had pieced together...

Isabel, Rachel and Lucy: "But Daddy, we wanted Bratz dolls!"
Andy: "Come on girls, don't you know, Gearz dolls are all the rage right now?"

[EddieMcD]

"Here, we see how the Baker family battles over matters of honor and whether abbreviations count in Scrabble. THEY DON'T!!!"

[Hiteak]

According to the rules of FIRST checkers, you must now say Dean me to add another bearing on top of the bearing that reached the other side.

[lukevanoort]

Okay Daddy, we'll play nice, no more press fits to the each other's face.

[Billfred]

Man, make it hard for me when I should be studying for finals! :p
