As always, the deadline is midnight Saturday. Judging should be the following day, unless I invoke the Billfred Is Working Way Too Much Rule and judge it later.

Ashley: Look mom! I'm the Queen of FIRST....aren't you proud?!?!

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #49
 

Ashley: Who am I you ask? So you did stumble onto my fabolous picture and are confused?

::sings:: I amma lil princess... ::sings::

"You know, I suggested crowns like this as part of our team uniform but the guys just looked at me weird. I guess it's a good idea I didn't bring up my idea of matching black dresses like the one I'm wearing!"

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #49
 

Ashley: I feel pretty, oh so pretty, its alarming how charming I feel...

Rest of team: *abstains from commenting*

Hedi has been disqualified from the Queen of Delphi Award (as seen in CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #43) after judges found Ashley’s entry wadded up and slightly photoshopped in the trashcan. This award will be handed out after all entries have been found and unphotoshopped.

(mocking the song "If I Were A Rich Man" in Fiddler on the Roof)

Ashley: If I were a pretty princess
Yaba dibby dibby dibby dibby dibby dibby dum
All day long I'd biddy biddy bum
If I were a pretty princess

I wouldn't have to work hard
Yaba dibby dibby dibby dibby dibby dibby dum
If I were a biddy biddy pretty
Yidle diddle didle didled princess

I'd wear my lipstick all the time
With eyeshadow and liner
And my gaudy dresses galore
Making those boys walking past me go wild
There would be pearls and diamonds all over me
And even more on my dress
And more on my skin for no reason, just for show

I'd fill my treasure chest with dolls and accessories
For all my friends to drool over
And each loud "ooh" and "aah" and "oh my!" and "EEE!"
Would land like a trumpet on the ear
As if to say "Here lives a pretty princess"

If I were a pretty princess
Yaba dibby dibby dibby dibby dibby dibby dum
All day long I'd biddy biddy bum
If I were a pretty princess
I wouldn't have to work hard
Yaba dibby dibby dibby dibby dibby dibby dum
If I were a biddy biddy pretty
Yidle diddle didle didle princess

I see my prince my Jakie looking like a pretty princess' husband
With a proper double chin
Supervising servants to his heart's delight.
I see him putting on armor and strutting like a peacock
Oy what a happy mood he's in
Screaming at the servants day and night

The most important women in town would come to fawn on me
They would ask me to advise them
"Like Solomon the Wise.."
"If you please, Princess Ashleyyyy..."
"Pardon me, Princess Ashleyyyy..."
Posing problems that would cross a rabbi's eyes!
And it won't make one bit of difference if I answer right or wrong.
When you're a princess, they think you really know!

f I were a princess, I'd have the time that I lack
To sit in my room to primp and style.
And maybe have a seat by the pool below.
And I'd discuss the contents of makeup with my friends for several hours every day.
That would be the sweetest thing of all.

If I were a pretty princess,
Yaba dibby dibby dibby dibby dibby dibby dum
All day long I'd biddy biddy bum
If I were a pretty princess
I wouldn't have to work hard
Yaba dibby dibby dibby dibby dibby dibby dum
If I were a biddy biddy pretty,
Yidle diddle didle didle princess.

Hmmmmmmmmmm......
Andy Baker, subject of Contest #45
Koko Ed, subject of Contest #46
Woody, subject of Contest #47
Heidi, subject of Contest #48

A pretty, young student for Contest #49????

Looks like I'm safe - Billfred has finally run out of mentor photos. Or could he just be cleansing the palette before his big #50 contest?

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #49
 

Me: "Look at me I am queen WOOHOO. Bow down to me all you FIRSTers!"

FIRSTers: "Uh Ashley... this is a robot competition, not a beauty contest. And if it was a beauty contest, you better put on some more make up"

Me: "Darn, and I payed good money to get my nails done! ::hmph::" :: puts the crown on billfred:: "Now this is a beauty pagent!"

[btw] Sheesh. Using my pictures... ::hmph:: hehe. Btw, I have a good photoshopped picture I made of Jake and some other crazy ones of myself... haha.[not part of contest]

"ouch, can i stop tilting my head now?"

Look now as ashley balances dried roses on her shoulder....

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #49
 

Let the contest begin.....for second place.

---------------------------------------------

Ashley: "The only difference between me and Heidi is that I make this look good" :D (j/k Heidi)

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #49
 

Oh, I've got photos out the wazoo, Gary. You just won't see it coming. ;)

And for the record, ashley is eligible...I think it was The Koko Ed Rule that finally changed that.

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #49
 

*dies laughing* Oh man...you are terrible.......

Sometimes, you just gotta put aside the robotics stuff and do a little dress up. FIRST does that to ya...kilts, foam hats, hawaiian shirts, and now tiaras.

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #49
 

Ashley; Thank you all, you love me, you really love me. I would like to thank everyone for my victory as Ms...what the heck is this, I asked for a size 8 crown, not a size 12. You ruined me. RUINED ME. I'll make sure you never work in this town again. Who's in charge here.
Gary; It was me, now, ALL YOUR BASE ARE BELONG TO US.

FIRST's experiment to replace winner's medals with crowns met with mixed reaction and was canceled after the first week of regionals.

According to a FIRST spokesperson, "The crowns made some people really happy, but they didn't realize how goofy they looked."

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #49
 

karthik: can i have my crown back now ??

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #49
 

Deep voice announcer...
Music...

“HERE SHE IS….. Miss U S FIRST of 2005!
(Loud applause)

Please welcome the winner of the 2005 Miss U S FIRST Queens!
She is Ashley from Victor, NY and a member of Rookie Team 1559.

She loves robots, making new friends, and believes that robots are COOL. She received high marks at presenting "Applications using linear and non-linear hyper-extensions with applied close-loop feedback systems." She also won the talent portion of the contest by reciting the entire list of KOP in less then 1 minute; forward AND backward.
AND She can lead an awesome team cheer too.

During her reign as FIRST Queen, she promise to spread the word of FIRST throughout this land, have a regional in every State and better food at the Regionals.
(More loud applause)

HERE SHE COMES…. Miss U S FIRST… Ashley!.”

<not part of entry> I know I should probably stick with my first entry, but this just came to me </not part of entry>

"Look, it must be the queen"

" 'ow do you know she's the queen?"

"She 'asn't got sh** all over 'er"

<note to moderator - please edit this however you need to in order to meet CD rules - any true Monty Python fan will get the joke anyway>

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #49
 

Me: I wonder how a tiara would look with my mohawk :rolleyes:.

[Not part of entry] Time to find a tiara and find out. [/Not part of entry]

Asheley recently robbed Heidi of her crown for the -infinity award.

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #49
 

(someone is gonna hunt me down and beat me for this)

Ashley: Mirror Mirror on the wall who's the fairest robo-chick of them all

*mirror crack*

ashley *tilts head and smiles* Hedi told me this mirror would work.....


*not entry*Gary i would also like to point out that no crazy photos have been used of me yet, and i think i fall under the mentor catagory..... so your reasonining is flawed*not entry*

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #49
 

...combining her deep fear of alien mind control and a bold sense of fashion, Ashley carefully morphed her aluminum foil beanie into a tiara...

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #49
 

Here we reluctantly get to see the horribly-misshapen Frog Princess as she patiently awaits the day her prince will appear and restore her to her former beauty. Until then, everyone be polite and try not to grimace too much in her presence...ribbet.



:p If everyone here didn't know I was kidding, they'd swear I just crossed the line.....ANYTHING FOR CAPTION CONTEST POINTS AND GLORY!

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #49
 

Ashley took her role as drama queen very seriously indeed.

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #49
 

I would like to file an appeal to the ninth circuit court. As previously noted, I work on Mars time. A Mars day (one sol) is 24 hours and 40 minutes. So midnight Saturday did not occur until 12:40am. If you will notice, my post was accepted at 12:35am. So I actually beat the deadline by five minutes. Based on that, I am requesting reconsideration of the entry by the judges.

-dave

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #49
 

Consistent with FIRST rules, you must file an appeal before you leave the stage. Since the ruling was made at 9:12 PM Sunday and you didn't file your appeal until 8:56 AM Monday, you are too late on any planet.

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #49
 

Since there is no stage, this rule does not apply (note: further discussion on this subject will be moved to the YMTC thread "can a virtual contest have virtual rules?"). Also, I would point out that the appeal was filed in less time than it took to make the ruling. Under the Billfred I-Never-Signed-Up-For-This Fairness Doctrine, special dispensation may be issued for delays in appeals that were caused by slow response times of the judges.

Besides, for those of us working on the MESSENGER mission to Mercury, the day is 4221 hours long. So it is still last Wednesday. Plenty of time for me to make another entry, have a bad ruling posted, appeal it all the way to the Supreme Court of Time Wasting Endeavors, and still make it to breakfast. :)

-dave

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #49
 

Dave, there is no Billfred I-Never-Signed-Up-For-This Fairness Doctrine. Perhaps you're thinking of the Billfred Is Working Way Too Much Rule?

In any regard, it still doesn't count. The post says 12:35 AM, which is the time I go by. (And Dave, although I know you have connections, please don't slow the earth's rotation to get more time on the caption contest. ;) )

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #49
 

OK, I gotta take Dave's side now. Just because you have never heard of the
"Billfred I-Never-Signed-Up-For-This Fairness Doctrine" doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Based on some the rulings I've seen come out of the court system, the fact that you created the contest, the rules, the rulings, and serve as the benevolent dictator of the contest has no bearing on whether some other entity can claim jurisdiction and decide what you really meant.

As you may recall in "Morrison vs Martus", the court ruled that "an engineer with a hawaiian shirt can claim habeus corpus ludicrus and award himself points provided his vehicle is still operational on another planet and the vehicle is legally registered with the DMV in his home state, unless that state is Indiana whereby the vehicle must be weigh at least 120 pounds without the battery."

If it doesn't fit, you must acquit. So Dave should be awarded 1.8 points based on the gear ratio of his team's lowest speed in the 2003 competition.

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #49
 

To my client's (Mr Lavery) defense, if the clock doesn't fit... you must aquit...





(and to my own defense this does make sense, cause the clock thingy on CD doesn't give an option for Mars Time ;) )
