CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #40
 
Well, ladies and gentlemen, this would be the fortieth caption contest, which in and of itself means it's a big deal. (And thanks to all 103 people who've done 'em--otherwise, this would be a lot more boring.)

Additionally, it's the last caption contest that will complete before the Championship, which may or may not have anything to do with anything. (Fwahaahaa.)

That, and I'm sure a few folks are gunning for Travis, now that he has the lead. Speaking of which, here's the scores:

And, since it's the 40th, I decided to look back for some inspiration, finding this old post:

That led me to picking this week's picture:

As always, the deadline is midnight on Saturday.

Go!

Brandon: You think Chiefdelphi is hot huh? You should check out Amanda Morrison with the pimp hat.

Amanda: Don't mess it up this time too Brandon. I will NEVER travel with you again. Hate the game, not the playa.

Brandon: Take the compliment before I take it back.

Dez in the background: Ahhhhhhhhhhh I cant take anymore pictures Amanda, I am running out of Film. 50 bucks wasn't enough. I gotta go sit by the BIG RED BUTTON.

Never tried this before, but I guess the fortieth is a good milestone to start on.

Brandon:(drops jaw) Whoa...that is one cool hat. Where can I get one?

Amanda: Hey! When I agreed to do an act with Brandon for the talent show, I don't remember hearing anything about it being a ventriloquist act. And how come I have to be the dummy? :ahh:

Brandon: Oh yeah, like I was going to be able to sit on YOUR knee! Look, just consider it type-casting. Now be quiet, the act is starting! (jams hand in Amanda's back)

Amanda: OWWW! :mad:

Brandon: (drinking a glass of water) Mmffphhffftt mmmuunnnbbbfffff!

Amanda: I just flew in from Chicago, and boy are my arms tired...

Brandon: “Stan! That is another FINE mess you got us into with Dave.”

Amanda: “(sniffle) I’m sorry Ollie (sniffle)”

Brandon: “Really?”

Amanda: “No, of course not, I was just role playing. Now put that mustache and hat back on.”

I told you so, Brandon sitting down and bending over is still taller than Amanda standing up and wearing a big hat.

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #40
 
Hello, there, NASA TV Viewers. My name is Brandon Martus. Some of you may know me as the Webmaster of Chief Delphi. In fact, I've never been associated with any team but Chief Delphi in all my years in FIRST. The same cannot be said for this poor girl here. Amanda Morrison is one of a few people scattered across the FIRST community who suffer from an affliction called NO-STIC - NOn-Stationary Team Identity Crisis. Those affected by NO-STIC cannot stay with one robotics team for more than a year or so. Amanda's nomadic wanderings throughout FIRST have confused her feeble brain to the point where doesn't know where the heck she belongs. Other symptoms of NO-STIC include uncontrollable grinning, wearing silly hats, and an inexplicable desire to hang out with bald people.

For just a few team shirts and buttons a day, your team can adopt Amanda and finally give her a permanent home in FIRST. PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE give her a home and keep her there, because I'm tired of seeing her show up at all these random events to hang out with me every year! *presses hands and face against camera lens* I'm begging you....save me from this insane woman!!!!!!!

Amanda: No excuses!
Brandon: Yes ma'am
Amanda: Okay now, repeat after me.
Brandon: Ill dew my bestest.

Amanda: Hey look! It's Karthik wearing a skirt, and a flower crown! That is like the funniest thing I've ever seen! It makes me look half-way normal with this hat on!
Brandon: *Is in shock at how nice Karthik looks in that shirt* Wow, He looks better in a skirt than you do!
Amanda: *glares at Brandon angrily*
Brandon: *Realizes where he is* Oops...did I just say that aloud?

Technically, Andy never had -infinity points. That was just a sly attempt at humor from yours truly.

(For all the newbies, I semi-foolishly used three or four pictures from one group taken at 116's pool party. Andy Baker noticed, so his entry that week reflected that. I think it got him the burn award, too...but when I posted the scores, I changed his manually to -infinity.)

Amanda: Yay. When I find my way into one of these caption contests you guys go off on tangents about Andy Baker!

Brandon: Ya guys, let's stay on topic (it is a rule after all).

[Also not an entry] That's a bit creepy, and depending on the fact I really don't know too many people on this site..including Amanda...it just gives me a creepy feeling about this thread now ::runs away screaming:: [/Also not and entry]

[not an entry--but I guess I'm smart enough to know my own posts when I see them]

For reference, Dave was referring to this post by Amanda Morrison, who was posting in response to this post by Photoshop queen Heidi (aka MissInformation, aka someone you should not give mints to if Gary Dillard is around).

(memo to self: keep the contest accessible to the rookies...man, I know I've heard that somewhere.)

Scene: The first FIRST Pledge Drive, with famous FIRSTers, Amanda Morrison and Brandon Martus operating the phones.

Brandon: Oh man, this isn't going so good. Oops... keep smiling, there's the camera guy again...
Amanda: Happy thoughts... happy thoughts... whew, he's gone. Yeah, I've gotten 5 calls, and two of them were wrong numbers. I knew they should've let me do my chicken dance. I bet the donations would have poured in then!
Brandon: Uh... I've seen your chicken dance Amanda, and... no... no they wouldn't have.
Amanda: You are so... oops... camera man... smile...
Brandon: I can't believe Dave doing his Tim Curry impersonation didn't get more donations.
Amanda: Well, someone did pledge $50 to get him to stop... Dean Simmons and the Kamens are up next, maybe they'll do better...

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #40
 
This is Amanda. Her job is to not push any of the buttons and to take her meds every day.

This is Amanda's straight jacket. Its job is to make sure Amanda always does at least half her job.

This is Brandon. Brandon is moral support. The jacket has a tough job.

You know, after forty caption contests, maybe I should take a break next week.
