...and yes, I'm actually awake after a day of Peachtree Regional combined with eight hours on the road in the same day.

Here's the scores:

(I suppose it's a good thing that the subject of this week's contest won't be at Palmetto, lest I get my butt kicked. ;))

As always, the deadline is Saturday at midnight BST

Go!

"Billfred, if this shows on a caption contest, i will use my powers on you, your team, your family, your friends, your pets, your neighbors......"

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #89
 

This one is strong in the dark side.

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #89
 

"I have come for your soul. Muwahahahahaha!"

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #89
 

Jawas with candles! Run away! Run away!

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #89
 

This is a rare picture of Team 1369's "hope and a prayer" sub team hard at work. Unfortunately, Lead Inspectors must be watchful for this in the future. Pit rules will now read, "no welding, grinding or candles will be allowed in the pit".

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #89
 

The force is strong with this one.

Come, young padawan freshmen, and I shall show you FIRST. May the fine art of engineering, programming, and learning come upon you; and may you become inspired. May the power of GP be with you.

"Don't make me blow out this candle *snap* *snap* *snap*"

After so many cans of SPAM, they really start to lose their minds.

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #89
 

"After many years of reasurch SPAMers have found a way to summon their robot from the depths of the underworld"

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #89
 

Wow, Woodie has developed quite the little following...

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #89
 

FIRST has been growing so much in the past years that it's starting to catch on as a cult. The cult is only known at this point as Primus, but word out on the street is that it's the Florida version of NERD and MAVERICK.

A human player can feel the poofball flow through him. Sense the poofball. BE the poofball. ::THWACK:: Don't hit the ref with the poofball...

Help me Andy-Wan Bakeri - You're my only hope.

You don't need to see my identification. These aren't the robots you're looking for. We can go about our business.

It is better to light a candle than to curse the darkness. Now who stole that *^*^%# lighter!

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #89
 

((Is it possible to give more than one? If not, let me know and I'll pick the best one."))

"Put yo' hood up!"

"Back off... it's early... I'm tired, and sick and... I have a candle and I know how to use it."

"Okay, seriously... who turned out the lights?... Guys... it's not funny anymore. I can't find the lighter... or the lightswitch... guys....?"

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #89
 

This candle actually produces a green flame that cameras will recognize.

She really shouldn't be handling that dangerous equipment without eye protection.

Perhaps with enough meditation, she can ride the Segway without falling over.

<obviously not an entry>

The last entry posted before the deadline is the one I look at. (Alright, I read them all, but the last one's the only one I read in any official capacity.)

Currently, Danielle's entry as I would judge it is:

Here we see the newest Druid looking for a sacrifice, preferably Billfred or Gary Dillard.

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #89
 

Seen above is an ancient photograph, taken in the early years of FIRST. Pictured is a member of an oft unappreciated and unknown portion of the drive team, the "Monks of the Team Light". Serving for many years maintaining clear indicator candles on each robot, burning with the flames of a thousand souls and indicating whether the robot was on the red or blue alliance; these individuals have since been eliminated with the onset of newfangled technologies, such as the "Team LED" and "Indicator Flags".

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #89
 

"Your kidding me right? these used THESE for lights? Haven't they heard of LED's?"

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #89
 

"I shall induct thee, freshman, into this society known as FIRST. Now, take this oath, and you get to have this lovely hooded cloak! All for 19.99! er.. sorry, where was I?"

person -"Dean Kamen. I am your son/daughter."
Dean Kamen- "Have you been doing my homework?"
person -"er... No reaction to what I said?" *pulls up hood and lights a bright green candle in corner of room*

These are not the robots you are looking for.

Unfortunately the wind from the shooter wheel's spokes just blew out her candle, keeping Tiffany from demonstrating the flammable properties of SPAM.

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #89
 

Tiffany was the origional Emperor from Star Wars but she accidentally killed Luke Skywalker when she roundhouse kicked him... or was that Chuck Norris? :confused:

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #89
 

Sometimes freshman initiation goes too far...

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #89
 

We're trying to save weight on the bot... here we see our lovely model holding our new source of power... (Disclaimer: Not subject to actually work, do not try this at home.)

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #89
 

"Congratulations, you are now the newest member of the secret order of the Minimonk"

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #89
 

Um, yeah, does anyone have a lighter or match.

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #89
 

(Loud chanting, drumming and dancing in the background)

“Oh great and wise man of the FIRST Game Designer.
I will now light the Candle of Truth so we may receive from you the knowledge of the 2007 game. You can not avoid the beams of True.
You will now reveal to us the game; SPEAK,” demanded high priestess Tiffany.

“Ah… ah… ah…. Choo! Oh… sorry,” Dave.

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #89
 

"It's better to curse the candle than to light. No, that's not it. It's better to light the curse than to. No, that's not it either. Will somebody just get me a @%$*@$ flashlight."
