Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #421

Once again, proof positive that there is a prize in every box.

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #421

They told me that I could become anything that I wanted. So I became the IRI Question Box.

"Well, it's better than the LAST box I was in!"

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #421

You spend hundreds of dollars on an educational toy and all they want to do is play with the box.

Laugh if you want, but it's still bigger than the MTU dorm rooms.

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #421

Eager McBeaver Kara was ready to ask the question on everybody's mind, "Can we get to the first match already?"

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #421

Jack in a box. FIRST Style!

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #421

Due to her inquisitive personality, IRI made a special question box, just for Kara. Needless to say, she never left.

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #421

She looks pretty questionable to me. And it seems like the guy in the foreground agrees.

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #421

Kara: I know that everyone's here to play robot basketball, but I'd really like to try some boxing.

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #421

After the match...
Head ref: "So, what's your question?"
Kara: "I submitted my caption contest entry for this week on a chunk of a ball. How am I supposed to top that next week?"

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #421

I have made it a habit to look inside these boxes near the end of the competition, because there is often gold (as in 'one man's treasure...') mixed in with the bits and pieces. Things like #35 master links, sensors, and other still-useful stuff.

I was at my first IRI this year and the reset crew, after finding Miss Kara on the field during reset one time too many, carried her into the junk box and told her (in a stern voice) to "stay". Shortly thereafter, along wanders Billfred with his cellphone to capture the aftermath, preserving the scene forever.

And now you know the rest of the story.
