Before I get to the picture, I'd like to remind the group of one thing....I only count one entry (that entry being your last)! I mean, you can post up as many as you theoretically can, but just know that I'm going to ignore all but one of them. :D

And, for the picture...

Until Friday at 9:00...

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #14

Yes, it's true, I'm not wearing denim!...Yes yes, it is a miracle..I finally let them stay in the closet for one night...yes thank you, I'm proud of me, too...

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #14

To counter its' growing reputation as a high-priced luxury, Dean quickly realized they would need an alternate uniform for the Segway sales force.

$@#$@#$@#$@#$@#$@# she said it before I did! Oh well I'll come up with something...just you wait.

The above was not an entry.

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #14

Dean, after his appearance on Queer Eye For The Straight Guy!

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #14

I wonder if he is going to get married on that segway.

*not an entry*
I'm sorry! :( :(

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #14

"hmmmm..... now if I only have a bride....."

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #14

New from DEKA toys; It's the long awaited Dean action figure. Now with self balancing Segway and Limited Edition Formal wear.*

Toys. Because DEKA is Fun-uh!

*Segway does not actually balance by self
*Batteries Not included
*Some assembly may be required

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #14

Dean in formal attire? Go MOE!

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #14

"Look Ma, no denim!"

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #14

"Sshhhhhh! Don't tell Woodie, but I borrowed his tux. Now if only i could get my hands on those sneakers......"

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #14

Now all he needs is a suit for the segway.

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #14

Thats it North Dumpling Island needs a 24 hour denim emporium

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #14

"Pardon me, do you have any Grey Poupon?"

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #14

[Not entry yet]
Is this what you're looking for? This is an actual quote o.O
[/Not entry yet]

"Hello, everyone. I'm Dean Kamen, and yes I can, indeed walk."
--Dean at BAE Regional in 2003

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #14

What could be so bright that makes him turn toward the MOE shirt?

:ahh:

Wetzel

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #14

"Oh my god! Is that fruit punch!? I LOVE fruit punch! Why didn't I put a cup holder on this thing!?"

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #14

This picture would only make more sense if the Segway was wearing a long white dress and vail.

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #14

"I checked with the people at Guinness and they said my denim boxer shorts are good enough to keep my record intact."

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #14

Despite all of MOEs efforts, the suit was only a rental. Plus they had to put Segway insurence on it, you know, just incase. ;)

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #14

A balancing scooter with built in stinger missile launcher?
Ingenious Q. What will you think of next?

The name is Kamen, Dean Kamen.

(For the true hilarious effect, make sure you say it outloud with a poor Sean Connery accent)

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #14

"My gosh! I am TRYING to turn it around! It's not like this suit gives me much room for movement!"

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #14

Dean Kamen, shown here trying his best to be a gracious groom as he speeds off in search of some Extra Strength Tylenol, would soon learn to rue the day he hired MOE to do the live music at his wedding. Only after it was too late to preserve the sanity of his guests did he realize that Moe Stix and the Chicken Dance simply do not mix.

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #14

New caption (since my old one wasn't funny).

The tuxedo: Only because Dean doesn't look good in lime green

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #14

*Please disregard first response*

"Where is Woodie in my denim? We need to switch back, because this tux is getting hot."

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #14

What you can't see in the pictures is me, in formal wear, getting interviewed.

Amanda: "Who, that guy? Oh, he's just my prom date. He won't get off that thing, though... he claims it dances for him. *sigh*"

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #14

See? You can look formal and still ride on scooters!

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #14

segway human transporter - $4000 on ebay
leather breifcase - 75$ on ebay
tuxedo - $350 on ebay

Buying a date with a millionare on ebay......priceless

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #14

Shhh .. dont tell anyone that i stil have my denim underneath this thing .. what do you call it ?? a tux ??

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #14

Geez, all the good entries were taken by Monday. Especially when the first thing that came to my mind was the "Dean Kamen action figure", and Elgin already nabbed that one. Never fear though, I have an entry:

<entry>
"Onward, my legions of Segway riders! We will show those believers of conventional gravity what we are capable of! In a gracious and professional manner, of course."
</entry>

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #14

(Billfred arouses from his slumber before his six-hour radio extravaganza to judge the contest)

Judging this never gets easier. Neither does trying to come up with witty intros. So, first place goes to...

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #14

If anyone is interested in the story behind that photo, it was taken in March, 2003 when Dean was presented with a Common Wealth award in the field of technology at the Hotel DuPont in Delaware. (Other awardees that year were Sam Donaldson, Bob Dole, and Joyce Carol Oates. In such company, Dean had to wear a tux!). MOE and the Lunatecs 316 both exhibited their robots, although you can't see 316 in this pic.

Coincidentially, the local paper reran this picture last week for an article about the first Segway store opening up in Delaware.
