WOW, thanks. I am assuming this gift is from Elgin?

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #63
 

So now you're trying to remind me how long its been since I left the team?

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #63
 

We will rule the world with our super robots! Follow me! Follow me to victory!

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #63
 

Carll: Oh how nice guys this'll look great on my mantle piece. Wait a second, what is this?!? A timer to next year! *sigh* Some things never do die...

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #63
 

For this season FIRST proposes building a time machine and the team that winds back time the furthest wins!

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #63
 

Carll received the best retirement gift a FIRST team could give... the gift of time!
And immediately his wife started figuring out how he could spend it doing projects around the house... :ahh:

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #63
 

HOORAY! Now I can finally say I have a clock! Now if only you guys had won the Chairman's award, it would have been bigger and better.

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #63
 

Hey wait... didn't I give the lead engineer this last year durring the team party?

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #63
 

At the last possible moment before leaving Earth for his castle hide out, Father Time takes this chance to show of his time machine. He was planning on giving it to Gary Dillard to help him go back in time and keep his hair, but then decided it was more fun to make fun of him for it.

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #63
 

"What? I can't build a robot out of this!"

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #63
 

This will look great on my mantle. Wait, I don't have a mantle. I guess I'll have to build one. But what's a great mantle without a fireplace. This is going to cost me a small fortune. Thank alot guys (said sarcastically)

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #63
 

"Kids, my biological clock went dead a long time ago..."

(I know this is terrible, it's all I could think of...sorry if it's mean. It's a pure joke.)

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #63
 

In order to make a smoother transition into retirement, "The Wife" (Pal's wife Jane) has given him a clock that chimes just like the Watertown High School bells.

Current settings include:
-Time to feed the cows
-Time to feed "the girls" (his chickens)
-Time to finish building the house
-Time to quit bugging the wife

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #63
 

Just what every Firster wants, yearns for, dreams about, a device to stop time during the build season. I have finally have it!

Good Luck Pal!

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #63
 

Wow! a six week countdown clock!, Just what ive always wanted!

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #63
 

If you pay attention closely to this photo you will see there's actually two clock's visible, although one of them works much harded than the other, to the point where the hands never stop moving!



[ I am dead........................I am sooo dead!!! :p ]

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #63
 

I have finally found out how to stop time! Now that I have I will make 237's build season as long as they want!!!!!!

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #63
 

YES!!!!! I now have Mickeys clock!!!!!!

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #63
 

Just so Mr. Pallokat wouldn't forget, Team 237 gave him a clock frozen at the time that the team usually met (he seemed to like the idea...).

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #63
 

Auctioneer Carl:
"Ooooooh come on everyone..... This auction is for fundraising; doesn’t anyone want this NICE clock donation by Elgin?

*Pause*
Do I hear $50?

*Pause*
This clock was special to Elgin......
This clock..... has been with Elgin during his whole childhood years. It comforted him during his high school robotics years, and keep him on time during his college years. It is still in MINT condition!
It was very, very tough for Elgin to give up this prize for his team!

*Pause*
Do I hear $20?

People!!!! This is for your team 237!
That’s better! I have $20 bid from Elgin behind me (stop sobbing)
….Do I hear $25?"

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #63
 

Robotics team: $10,000
Table to put stuff on: $20
Six lawn chairs: $60
Fancy looking clock: $100
Having Billfred sacrifice you to ChiefDelphi: priceless

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #63
 

A Clock??? The only reason of a clock is for the count down for the shiping date of the robot!!! :D :D :D

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #63
 

Shortly after Pal claimed that he could juggle a mantle clock and a helium balloon at the same time, team 237 realized that his decision to retire was in everyone's best interest.

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #63
 

But it was when the team realized that Pal thought the clock was the balloon and the balloon was the clock and couldn't figure out why the clock wouldn't fly when he let go of it that it really clicked that they were glad this guy had been "kicked"* from the team.

*(read: he retired, im just trying to rhyme)

"What do you mean it is time I left"

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #63
 

As part of an old 237 tradition, Carll pumped his fist into the air and tossed the mantle clock over his left shoulder. Whoever caught it would be the new team leader!

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #63
 

Yes! Something got done on time!

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #63
 

"DAAAAAAAAAANG! It feels good to be a gangsta!"

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #63
 

Carll: Now it's time for the clock. Start bidding.

Elgin (in the back): I feel special, I am being announced.

Ted: This would be the ONLY time.

Scott (bids): 50 CENTS!!!!!!!!!!

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #63
 

"I bet the gears and springs inside this thing would feel right at home in our transmission next year! Afterall, the clock is off the shelf..er, mantle."

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #63
 

As the self appointed leader of the advocacy group PADST (People Against Daylight Savings Time), Pal readies his group with a rallying speech about the unfairness of having to remember if it's "fall forward" or "fall back" before their big protest march on Washington D.C.

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #63
 

Pal: Now I will finally know the answer to the age-old question: "what happens when you annoy a clock?"

Elgin: It gets ticked off!

Pal: But why were you sitting on the clock?

Elgin: Because I wanted to be on time!!! Anyway, even though it is a new clock, you will need to be careful about the bugs inside.

Pal: Bugs???

Elgin: Yeah, you know - ticks! :D
