Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #20

*rips caption idea off of Casper (the movie)*

Dave: "Look! I can flyyyyyyyyyyyyy!"
A few moments later, just after this picture was taken, Dave Lavery took a tumble and broke his arm...how sad. Let's just hope that this is not the end for our dear friend.

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #20

Next week, on American Chopper:

Sr. gets angry at Jr.
Sparks Fly.
Tempers Rise.
"Get back to work!"
Will they get the bike done?
"Mikey! Where are you? Where's Mikey?"
And who's this guy on the mini-chopper?

TUNE IN NEXT WEEK FOR ANOTHER EXCITING EPISODE OF ...

AMERICAN CHOPPER!

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #20

Insert Easy Rider (1969) reference here...

or...

"Get your motor runnin'
Head out on the highway
Lookin' for adventure
And whatever comes our way
Yeah Darlin' go make it happen
Take the world in a love embrace
Fire all of your guns at once
And explode into space

I like smoke and lightning
Heavy metal thunder
Racin' with the wind
And the feelin' that I'm under
Yeah Darlin' go make it happen
Take the world in a love embrace
Fire all of your guns at once
And explode into space

Like a true nature's child
We were born, born to be wild
We can climb so high
I never wanna die

Born to be wild
Born to be wild"
-Born to be Wild by Steppenwolf

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #20

[Dave thinking to himself]

Now if Mars only had an atmosphere, I could just imagine flying up and down dunes and craters with this thing!

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #20

Dave singing:

" YEAH! Look at ME! I'ma bad to the bones….
Yeah! Ba-ba-ba-bad to the bones….
Ba-ba-ba-bad to the bones….
Yeah! Boooooorn toooo beeeee wild....."
*Pause*

(Oh dear, It’s getting a little cold down there;
Note to self: don’t ride motorcycles with loss shorts.)

"I'ma bad to the bones..."

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #20

(I was waiting for this pic to become a caption contest lol)

Dave relives his rebel past, driving the mini chopper down the road, the wind in his hair, tearing up the road, forgetting to wear proper pants....what?

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #20

With his short-shorts and his 'bike', Dave wishes to relive the teenage live he never had sine he was abducted by NASA...

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #20

/me thinks to self: "I really should have remembered to ask Tyler if he built a brake on this thing..."

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #20

And thus the secret of how Dave styles his hair is revealed...

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #20

Dave: " Ahh the wind in my hair, the feel of the open road, the splatter of bugs on my glasses"

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #20

Dave - "So, when do I get my training wheels off?"

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #20

HA They can't stop me now, where is the nearest Krispy Kreme drive through

Not an entry: There is a brake on it.. I saw it... I used it... correctly. :p

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #20

Me thinking: "Yes! Dave is going to increase the value of my chopper among FIRSTers"...after he falls..."well there goes all that extra value."

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #20

Dave Lavery, posterboy for the Wetzel's new scheme of shortcutting through the FRC guy to girl ratio disadvantage, is on the move for the 2005 competition campaign!

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #20

Your other car is on Mars? Uh, you might want to get it back.

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #20

Ah, the feel of the open road: 18 wheelers driving by creates a nice semblance of speed.

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #20

This guy is demonstrating the new line of fashionable safety equipment, The AUTO-DEPLOY PANTS PARACHUTE (Warning, may cause random breeze between the knees). And coming soon in Christmas, AUTO-DEPLOY PANTS PARACHUTE WITH PORTO-POTTY, for those rushing types that wants to spend more time on the road and not on the toilet (Warning, make sure to clean every 24 hours).

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #20

Orignally the motorcycle used by the Terminator in Terminator 2: Judgement Day , a review of the film following inital screen tests caused the bike to be removed and retired to a less...public forum

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #20

isn't that a few major traffic violations? No helmet, no brake lights, turn signals, and what no brakes.

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #20

"Chicks dig the hog."

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #20

Uh, Dave, the Shriners just called. They want their mini-chopper back. Dave? Dave????? Are you listening to me, Dave???? Fine, keep on cruisin' with the wind whippin' through your shorts. Keep daydreamin' about Mars with that look of carefree bliss on your face, but the Shriners are comin' after you, buddy. You're about to have an unfortunate accident, and I don't want to hear later how you slid under a truck or some other such nonsense. The truth is, a couple of hard hittin' fez-wearin' clown po-pos are hot on your tail in those cute mini patrol cars they drive in parades. You can't see them, but oh yeah, they're right behind you, just out of range of this picture, and they're about to take you down. You can mess with the Elks, you can even mess with the Knights of Columbus, but NO ONE messes with the Shriners!

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #20

I haven't felt the wind in my hair since I walked into that wind tunnel!

He's very anxious to tell the world he kidnapped JVN.

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #20

/me thinks to self "I wonder if Tyler was serious when he said that Steve Irwin got his start this way?"

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #20

The first thing that came to mind was Steppenwolf's "Born to be Wild", but Bill Gold ended up nabbing that one (why didn't I respond first when I had the chance (::pulls at hair::). So even though I had to settle with Rod Stewart for my choice of songs, I think it suits the picture well (and besides, I've been waiting to use this lyric since week 1):

<entry>
It's been a long road getting from there to here.
It's been a long time, but my time is finally near.
I can feel the change in the wind right now; nothing's in my way.
And they're not gonna hold me down no more, no they're not gonna hold me down...

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #20

Alright, it's time to announce the winners of this shin-dig. Judging was pretty hard, forcing me to go back to originality and dry humor (what people accuse me of judging on). First place goes to...

And, instead of a burn award this week, I'm going to beat FIRST to the punch with the first awarding of the Safety Award, good for three points (and counted in the stats as the burn award, just because I'm too lazy to start a new column):

And yes, I am working on the Stats-O-Rama. I'll post that in a few.

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #20

I should point out that those scores are slightly wrong. I mistyped Genia's score--she has 18 points.

In fact, I noticed quite a few discrepancies as I went through the data--I wound up using a spreadsheet formula to figure out how many one-point entries a person had. Sometimes, that gave me negative numbers. (I went back and fixed them--who knew that Lil' Lavery had 15 points?)

So if you see an error, or you think I'm wrong, please PM me. I'm happy to fix any errors that come up--if I know they're errors.

However, I know you'll still have plenty of fun with these. Especially the average score column.

Enjoy!

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #20

Anybody teaching How-to-make-Billfred-laugh classes? I would of thought that I would do better than 1.3 points a week!

(Then again, I think I missed 5 weeks)

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #20

The five weeks is irrelevant. If I did my math right (and that's a key word, if), 1.3 should be you average score for all of the caption contests you have entered.

You know, I really should post the next one...this is what I get for waiting until I get back to my dorm!
