host: "so why are you called the Exploding Bacon?"
guy on right: "when you mix a few key ingrediants..."
guy on left: "like rusted steel, bacon, aluminum, solid CO2, and a match"
guy on right: "...you get a result that gets people to pay attention really fast."
guy on left: "would you like a demo?"
host: "since i don't understand still, I guess so."
*guy on left runs off and comes back with some conveniently available materials.*
*guy on left sets down a block of dry ice then tops it with two metal bars (one rusted steel and one aluminum) side by side then puts a ham on top. finally he hands the host a 3 foot long strike anywhere match*
guy on left: "now you just light this and put the lit tip where the two bars touch while we hide behind the chairs across the room"
host: "why across the room when I'm right next to it?"
guy on right: "simple, you have eye protection and we don't."

Host: Welcome, back to Friday Night FIRST...
Guy in Middle: This is so cool, I'm gonna be on TV!
Guy on Right: Man, I can see my reflection in his head!

James has the coolest living room!

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #420
 

Scott: Tell me about your marketing strategy.
James: Three simple words, OINK OINK!
Brendan: BOOM!

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #420
 

Host: Why Exploding Bacon?
Students: We have no idea.
Host: How does your robot work?
Students: Don't ask us.
Host: How did it perform this season?
Students: We don't know:
Host: [Frustrated] You wouldn't happen to know how that camera works, would you?
Students: Light goes through the lens and strikes a CCD light detector. The detector detects red, green and blue light. The light data is converted into bits. Those bits are sent via and SDI wire to the truck by switching between a high and low state 1.5 billion times a second. Wait, why do you want to know?
Host: I wanted to know if you knew how to turn it off.

The guy in the middle is thinking very hard about how to take a nap and still have the camera show him wide awake.

In case you're wondering about the odd looks on faces, let's just say that the bacon isn't the only explosive thing with a rather odd smell...

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #420
 

Wait until you see the look on the interviewer's face after OINK, OINK, BOOM

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #420
 

The hungry crowd assembling in the background thought an "Exploding Bacon Robot" meant something totally different...

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #420
 

Host: Up next we've got a member of a team that call themselves Exploding Bacon. I'm not sure I want to know what that means.

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #420
 

The entire interview was a 1 hour segment on Brendan's success story through FIRST.

This is the frame where James popped out of no where, asked "Does anyone smell bacon?" and then left.


The host only questioned in his head how no one ever gets his memos of what "business formal" means.

*Family guy*

Diane simmons: "and now ollie williams with the weather"
Ollie Williams: " ITS EXPLODING BACON!"

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #420
 

Host: "next up: When Pigs fly: just an old saying? or the goal of some breakfast meat enthusiasts. ...When Oink goes BOOM! after the break"

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #420
 

Mmmm. Bacon and Ham.

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #420
 

Uh oh. When we went oink oink boom, we blew his hair clean off his head. Sorry 'bout that, Mr. Laningham.

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #420
 

The viewership dropped dramatically when everyone realized that there was no bacon involved. Fortunately it was regained when everyone realized that robots were involved.

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #420
 

Student on left: "Are you thinking what I'm thinking?"
Student on right: "Yes, I wish they would turn down the lights, the glare is killing my eyes."

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #420
 

Ok, you guys keep telling me about a high school robotics team but everytime I ask you reply "Oink Oink Boom". I was beginning to think this is some rather bad 4H joke except everyone in the building keeps yelling "Boom!!!" when you do. I have seen 4H do some incredible stuff but I think this is a little out of their field of expertise.

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #420
 

Initially, IBM thought exploding bacon was an innovative new way to eat bacon, when they learned the truth, disappointment followed.

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #420
 

Scott Laningham: So.. Bacon, what is the secret to your success?

James: Bacon.

Mr. Laningham: Yes, Bacon, what is the secret?

James: Bacon.

Mr. Laningham: Is there an echo in here?

James: Not yet but there will be...

Crowd: Oink Oink BOOM!!!!

Wendy: You just can't make this stuff up.

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #420
 

*ball fires straight past the Scott Laningham's head*
Laningham: "Whaddya mean the robot mistook my head for a vision target!?"
Student: "Well..."
