As always, the deadline is theoretically sorta kinda not really Saturday at midnight Eastern. I'll be on Curie with 2815; if you want to submit your entry in person, come by and say hello. (Look for the chops and the red shirts.)

Go!

[ATannahill]

Ugh, I hope I never see Billfred's face without warning. A moment for a fallen Kanagasabapathy.

[dodar]

Here lies Karthik Kanagasabapathy, after 1114 won the 2008 Championship their robot was turned on into autonomous and ran him over. On the brighter side, they did score 5 laps and 2 balls after doing so :D

[Alex Cormier]

After winning the championships, Karthik was near the confetti blowing machine. With all his might, his 120lb stature couldn't hold on anymore. The whole crowd thought it was a tornado and he was like a piece of wood. *smack* onto the floor karthik goes.

[Taylor]

This is the only time since '93 that a guy in a Blue Jays shirt ever won anything.

[bobwrit]

...What he didn't relize is that it was monday, and everyone had left...

[Travis Hoffman]

And to think I had actually done enough to goad Billfred into letting me be the subject of a caption contest. Alas.

Warning - "obligatory Karthik can't sing caption" alert - I have to dig down deep to beat Taylor this week ;)

No one at the Championship ever discovered the identity of the guy who knocked Karthik out cold after his latest singing escapade; however, judging from the party everyone held over his limp, unconscious body in celebration, I don't think anyone really cared.

[DonRotolo]

Karthik faints after learning that it really WILL be a water game next year...

(Being from Canada, he fears that 1114 will have to use icepicks...)

[rsisk]

Another Karthrik slowly forms from the coalescing confetti...

[boomergeek]

THOUGHT EXPERIMENT IN CROWD SURFING GOES TERRIBLY WRONG!!!
...Film at 11

[Steve W]

Tired and exhausted, Karthik gives in. The confetti that bowled him over was just the start. how could he ever overcome the weight of the medal?

[EricH]

Derek Besette [singing]: "Karthik got run over by a robo--uh..." [falls next to Karthik]

In a possibly related story, the FIRST Segway Police arrested one T. Hoffman on charges of aggravated assault this week. He will no longer be able to compete in Caption Contests due to restraining orders involving Caption Contest subjects.

[Akash Rastogi]

Karthik celebrates his winning of a new cell phone, shocked at the thought of having the latest and greatest technology in Canada, he keels over.

[npoe] I <3 Canadaland, first moved there [npoe]

[AndyB]

Don't laugh. You'd probably feel the same way if you were 120 lbs and had to lug around a name like "Kanagsbapathy" all day.

[GaryVoshol]

In one last attempt to get a t-shirt to his mother, Karthik pumps up the t-shirt cannon to incredible pressure. The resulting shock wave shredded the field decorations and knocked him out cold. Dome officials also want to talk to someone in NH about repairing that hole in the Dome fabric; reports of another tornado proved to be false.

[Wayne Doenges]

Field set-up team member: "Maybe we should have had the confetti cannons point vertically instead of horizontally."

[Taylor]

It's only Tuesday and this is by far the best caption contest I have ever seen. When this is all over, somebody really ought to give Karthik a hug.

[Enigma's puzzle]

(inner monolague of a canandian)
Are you sleeping? Are you sleeping?
Brother Karthik, Brother Karthik.
Victory bells are ringing, Victory bells are ringing.
Ding ding dong, ding ding dong.

[JaneYoung]

The little engine that could.

And did.

And then ran out of steam.

Briefly.

[typharn91]

as 1114 wins the finals kathik falls to the ground in excitment after cheering for a really long time of coarse he fell to the ground because 1114's bot decided to shoot a track ball at him filled with confetti so that he would stop cheeiring:D

[Al Skierkiewicz]

Karthik, I told you those gold medals were heavy! But noooooo, no one ever listens to me.

[lingomaniac88]

Nobody believed him, but Karthik proved everyone wrong: confetti angels are possible.

[andrew348]

He just found out what 2009's game is.

[Rich Wong]

Karthik,” Note to self- confetti drop makes a spectacular emcee’s entrance; but confetti drop with the emcee is a terrible idea.”

[Joe G.]

Sign number 11 that you have launched into/re entered from lunacy: You decide that this accident was a result of improper traction control software on your brand new "rover sneakers"

[kramarczyk]

Time spent building a team = 6 years
Regional championships during the Cinderella season = 3
World Championships = 1
Seeing Karthik silent and motionless = priceless

[Karibou]

Coach: "So moon rocks are worth 2 points, empty cells score for 2 points, and supercells are worth 15 points...does that mean that Karthik is worth -15 points?"

[Anna B.]

the Georgia Dome floor feels just like a feather bed after a long FIRST season
