CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #75
 

Woohoo! 3/4ths of the way to 100!

...and I have absolutely no scores to prove for it! (See the results of number 74 for the whole story--in essence, my data is all backed up and secure while my iBook is in for service, and I'm not keen on messing with any of it.)

But here's this week's picture:

(File this under "Eh, it's been a while.")

As always, the deadline is Saturday at midnight.

Go!

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #75
 

The FIRST crowd was respectful and came to attention as Billfred belted out the National Anthem, but when he got to the second verse and started "scat" singing they went back to what they were doing.

Due to the sleep deprevation and his imense hunger, Billfred tries to consume the announcer mic, only to have it pulled out from his lower intestine by Dee.

Due to Technical Difficulties on the field, Billfred decided to entertain the crowd with story time.

This was overheard during Billfred's "unique" rendering of the Star Spangled Banner.

GREG: I talked to Raider Robotics and they said they can eliminate him for 50% off the standard fee and I think you can get them down to 25% before he gets to the last stanza.

Before I announce the match results, I will announce the Caption Contest results. Hang on...Wait...Wrong sheet, that's the highest score so far...Oh, never mind...Finally, the score for that last match, not that anyone else is awake...

"you never close your eyes any more
when I kiss your lips
and theres no tenderness like before
in your fingertips...."
[thinks to self] this would probabally be more romantic if I memorized the lyrics!

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #75
 

After doing his rendition of the Star Spangle Banner, Billfred started receiving requests like: "Sit down" and "Stop singing" and "Don't give up your day job".

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #75
 

As every good announcer/DJ knows, keep reading the copy even if no one is paying attention. It is what makes radio great! (Or give a DJ a mic and you will have to pry it from his cold, lifeless hands to get it back.)

*not an entry* Maybe we should stop being "cruel" to Billfred. Remember, all he needs is a photo to make us the object of wisecracks like the ones in this thread...*/not an entry*

<obviously not an entry>

Nah, have at it (within the bounds of good taste and the forum rules and making your grandmother proud, natch). Although I do find it funny that quite a few folks seem to have me confused with another CD member. ;)

As for the use of images as payback, well...(innocent whistle)

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #75
 

Billfred: In order to fill in time during the field resets, I've brought along a friend from Canada to aid me in a little Musical Demonstration.

Dave (underbreath): You 116ers may have been laughing across
3 states on the way to IRI, but guess who's got the last laugh! *puts on ear plugs*

*Karthik bursts onstage and he and Billfred start a Duet:
B: I feel pretty!
K: Oh so pretty!
B: I feel pretty
K: and witty,
B: and Brighhhhhhhht!

.. (shortly after)

K: I feel charming!
B: Oh so Charming!
B&K: It's alarming, how charming we feeeeeeel!

[EDIT(and obviously not part of the entry)]On a side note I was going to mention the fact that not having a picture of yourself on CD is a good thing, when I remembered the FIRST Jeopardy picture I'm in *shudders*[/EDIT]

I'm just a Bill.
Yes, I'm only a Bill.
And I'm sitting here at Capitol Clash.
Well, it's a long, long day
With robots to see,
And your stuck at the Clash
listenin' to me,
But I know I'll be like Blair someday
At least I hope and pray that I will,
But today I am still just a Bill.



definitely an entry,
Andy b.

<not an entry> This is the same song that popped into my head when I first saw the picture... does this prove that disturbed minds think alike?
<not an entry>

Here's my actual entry, if it's stranger than usual, blame the dilaudid (don't ask about my horrible week):

“Friends, students, engineers, lend me your gears;
I come to build robots, not to raze them... what the…?” *shuffles papers*
“Here we go… To build, or not to build: that is the question:
Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer
The mistakes and screw-ups of outrageous freshman,
Or to take the arm and complete it myself,
And by doing so, actually get it done by ship date? To ship: to sleep… uh… that’s not it either…” *shuffles papers once again* “Chiaphua, Chiaphua, wherefore art thou Chiaphua, a motor by any other name would never run as sweet… uh-oh… if I have this here, what did I turn in for my English final?”

The alien had quietly slipped into the human gathering. Seeking to
avoid notice, it picked a seemingly innocous form among the many
inanimate objects. Assuming a perch on the thin pedastal, and
exquisitely forming a long cord-like head, a black body and silver
butt, it hung motionless and observed its primitive surroundings.
Moments later, BillFred grabbed its body, screaming,
"READY RED?...READY BLUE?" into its back side. In great fear for
it's survival, the alien sent an alarm off at light speed. We can
only wonder, now, when the great armies of morphing mikes will
appear!

"Do you smell what Billfred is cooking? No, really, something smells, and I can't quite put my finger on it..."

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #75
 

Wherever he goes, Billfred is the center of attention. Notice how everyone around him is hanging on his every word... It is thanks to volunteers like this that FIRST has become the program that it is today...

It only took 15 years, but Billfred finally got what he wanted for Christmas

This is my last warning!
If anyone take another picture of me taking a picture other people, I will put you on the CD’s caption contest for a whole month."
