CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #53
 
It was a dark and stormy night....well, actually it is up here in Maine.

Normally, this is where I'd make some awkward segue to the scores. But since it's a new year, I'm going to wipe the slate clean.

Here's a reminder of the rules:

-I post a picture. You come up with the best caption for it, judged on originality or, in the absence of that, dry humor.
-First place gets ten points, second place gets five, honorable mentions are two, and the burn award (given to the best zinger of the week) gets three. All decisions are made by yours truly. (Oh, and everyone gets at least one point.)

Along the course of the past year, there's been a few rules created, most of them on the fly. Here's the list:

(of course, the deadline is now midnight saturday, but the theory remains)

Since that contestant can't enter their own contest, they will receive their average score multiplied by the number of weeks they run the contest, rounded off.
Oh yeah, and I'm probably supposed to stick a picture in here somewhere. Here we go:

As always, the deadline is midnight Saturday.

Go!!

Under the pretense of reffing, Andy and John really just wanted to take a peak "under the hood" of the national champion.

Doing the worm on the metal grating from 2003 really hurts.

Five minutes after the initial proposition to see who could do more push-ups, we listen in...

Andy Baker: "Ooone!"
JVN: "Ack! One half!"

JVN: "I told you they would send us tools to break out."
Andy: "Hit the deck we have been spotted!"

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #53
 
Baker and JVN both being strap for cash heard a quarter fell under the ramp,
andy looks back and shouts "ALRIGHT I CAN SUPERSIZE IT TONIGHT!!!!"

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #53
 
John: Dude, you are suppose to check if the robots are on the ramp or not.

Andy: But they have 4 robots on the field which are ready to go, you think they can kill us during Autonomous?

John: You have been in FIRST for a while, haven't you learned yet that the field is being controlled by the scorekeepers? They didn't press start the match yet.

So that's how those omni wheels work on the grate!

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #53
 
Gosh you're right Big Mike, the number 111 is definitely only .74" stroke AND only 3.99 inches tall; they should have been disqualified which means Raider Robotix should be declared the national champions.

NOT!

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #53
 
John- "See I told you these were the best seats in the house"
Andy- "The Robots are coming the robots are coming!!"

JVN and Andy wake up.

JVN: "Gosh I didnt know sleeping on a metal grid would be so nice"
Andy: "Uh dude, the teams are here..."
JVN: "You mean... they saw us sleeping... on the SAME side of the field!? My reputation is ruined!"

Andy: Oh no! The attack of what seems to resemble some form of recycled materials is upon us!
John: Don't worry, if we lie still and pretend to be zebra crossings, nobody will suspect a thing *wink wink*...

In a somewhat misguided attempt to combine mountaineering and robotics, John and Andy attempt an assault on "El Ramp"...

Dave Scheck 12-07-2005 14:27
Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #53
 
John: C'mon Baker, none of those girlie push ups
Andy: I can't help it John, I had one too many Chilly Cow/Chili Dog combinations

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #53
 
JVN: Is that a Jelly doughnut I see under that bot?
Baker: Hurry up and hide it before the Gunnery Seargent sees it again! I'll keep watch..





(I hope at least someone gets this reference. Just think Full Metal Jacket)

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #53
 
John: I don't know Andy, I just don't know...
Andy: Yeah, this is a tough call.
John: It's not that, it's just... the drive is so purty! How does Raul do it???
Andy: I'll explain after they clear the field.
John: Oh is that why we are up here?
Andy: No, we are refs John.
John: Oh yeah, that would explain that pimp hard hat.

National Geographic Announcer: Here, we see the endangered khaki zebra in its natural habitat. Notice the belly of the beast scraping the ground - the infamous khaki zebras are known for enjoying doughnuts on an unhealthy basis. Dominant males generally have a zebra headpiece to establish them amongst the herd... meanwhile, submissive females often have larger bellies, as this one does, due to impending childbirth.

Get down and stay still! When Arnold pretends to be the Terminator, he also pretends to only see moving objects.

"Look, John, I don't think you're going to be able to reach your whistle, and you're kind of holding up the game, so you have to get up. Oh, come on, everyone will still take you seriously as a ref, even if you don't have a whistle. How did your whistle even fit through these grates? Never mind, you really need to get up so they can clear the field... Oh man, don't cry... here, I'll give you my whis... dang it, now mine's down there too... let me try to see if I can get my hand through here... dang, dang, dang..."

Andy: “Wildstangs and Wildcats…. they are coming…. (Pause with ear to the ground)”
John, “ Urh Andy….”

Andy: “From the North…in full gallop... (Pause with ear to the ground again) “
John, : “Urh Andy….”

Andy, “They are near…. from that direction…. the back of us... “
John: “Andy!”

Now maybe next time you will believe us, and Raul won’t have to build this silly 111-slices-at-once-toaster-thingy just to prove it to you!"

John: "Hey, can I borrow your credit card?"
Andy: "I assume you're going to swipe it under the robot to see if it's touching the grate."
John: "Um, yeah, that's right. Swiping..."

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #53
 
John: Is he gone?

Andy (looking up): Yeah, I think he went chasing after Copioli.

John: Whew! No bear hugs from Big Mike today. At least Paul's good for something - his announcing certainly leaves much to be desired.

Copioil: I heard that! Here Mikey, Mikey! We're having a two for one hug sale on zebras today. Come and get it!

Mike (panting): Arf arf arf!
