Dave:: GET AWAY! THESE ARE MY BUTTONS! MY BUTTONS I SAY!

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #92
 

Heidi, get away from the button maker. You have enough pimp buttons already.

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #92
 

"Homemade Krispy Kreames suck!"

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #92
 

Dave: I hate button-making parties...

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #92
 

Kid who I don't know the name of: (to himself) "Hehe, I'm going to get Dave by pressing these buttons poorly"
Dave: "I can see that smirk. I'm watching you!"

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #92
 

"Everyb9dy loves making buttons:rolleyes:"

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #92
 

In what is parallel to Jesus carrying his own crucifix to his death, Dave is forced to partake in the creation of his buttons.

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #92
 

Dave: Heidi, pleeeaasee get me a glass of water, I am tired of screaming at them about wearing safety goggles.

Heidi: haha Dave, they can't hear you.

Dave: WHY NOT!!!

Heidi: It was only a buck for 4 pairs of ear plugs on Ebay.

We know a song that gets on Dave's nerves,

Museum curator:

You can't see it in this particular picture, But his arms and legs are bound, These children have finally caught and "domesticated" the elusive Dave Lavery, and are not willing to lose him.

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #92
 

Dave:

Can you believe it - I left the auto-button maker in my other car.

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #92
 

Dave: "You. Yes, you. The one looking at this picture. I can see you. Now that I have your attention...You WILL bring me 2 dozen Krispy Kreames."

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #92
 

Dave: "Let's see -- the KOP includes a button maker. The field is covered with 2.5-inch pics of Kamen on a Segway. The game will be to scoop up the pics and make buttons out of them. Then, the robot will put the buttons into a giant vending machine that dispenses un-iced Krispy Kremes. Then, to score extra points at the end of a match, the robot will have to ice and heat the donuts and set them on the judge's table. Then..."

Girl in blue shirt: "Man, Dave is serious about this revenge stuff. This picture of Heidi in a red dress with a boa makes her look really sleezy. eeew!"

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #92
 

Dave: " Does anyone know why we are up until midnight making buttons of all things".

Girl in Blue Shirt: " Um "

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #92
 

Dave: We could sure use some these guys working on the rover!

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #92
 

Dave thinking: Why are they making buttons? They should be mass producing doughnuts for me! Now that would be pimp!

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #92
 

Davie: "You toush my buttons and I will keel joo"

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #92
 

(Guy using button maker) (hand out of view) OWW MY HAND! Now i got a button stuck to my hand.

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #92
 

Dave:

"Back in my rowdy days in a California biker gang, I used to make license plates during my stints at Folsom Prison that were 100 times more fun than this! My work partners were much less annoying, too.....at least I could get them to shut up and leave me alone by passing them a box of Pall Mall's from time to time."

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #92
 

Guy in red shirt: C'mon Dave, I've made like a hundred buttons already...

Dave: And you'll make a hundred more if you want to come to Regionals with us!

Girl in blue shirt: Hmm... I think that label is crooked...

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #92
 

Dave: These kids....They don't need my adult supervision.....

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #92
 

It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out how to work a button machine. Too bad Dave still looks lost....

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #92
 

Red Shirt: HAHAHAHA I'm pushing Dave's buttons!!! :D :D :D

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #92
 

Is Dave thinking "That's pimp"? Or is he making plans for a robot army that will each carry 100 poof balls and have a Heidi Foster-tracking vision system?

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #92
 

Computer: $2000
Photoshop: $500
Printing Materials: $100

The look on Dave's face when Heidi walks in wearing 116's latest fundraising item? Priceless.

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #92
 

"This might be worse than my first NASA internship..."

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #92
 

Girl in blue: "If I hold my lips just like this, do I look like Lavery?"

Unfortunately, no further photos exist, as the picture taker dropped the camera in shock upon hearing anyone wanted to look like Dave.

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #92
 

Just when I'm about to set the table and sit down to a nice meal the kids have to break out the button maker..................grumble, grumble, grumble!

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #92
 

kids- " 99 buttons of dave on the wall, 99 buttons of dave. take one down hand one out, 98 buttons of dave on the wall, 98 buttons of dave, take one down hand one out 97 buttons of dave on the wall 97 buttons of dave, take one down hand one out . . . . ."
Dave- " Thank god there are only 97 to go."

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #92
 

Dave deep in thought, ” Think, think, think….. how can I do it? … think….think… think…

Ah… got it!

Note to self: the 2007 game will have hundreds of disk and an alliance of three. Mahahahaha!"

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #92
 

Dave thinks to himself - "Thats right. Make those buttons. Little do you know. Next years game -CENSORED- ... BWUAHAHAHA."

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #92
 

Girl in blue shirt: "Dave, explain to me again why we have to make the buttons manually when it was YOU that broke to auto button maker?"
Dave: "Because I have a PhD and you are just student slaves"
Boy on left: *under breath* "Yea, a Piled higher and Deeper degree."

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #92
 

[announcer voice]Our next item for sale is this beautiful, wooden dining room table. Great for keyboarding, board games, button-making, or leaning on while staring ominously at would-be picture-takers. Available for a limited time at the low, low price of one forty-nine ninety-nine.[/announcer voice]

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #92
 

Girl in Blue: All right... I'm done. It's YOUR turn to operate the button-maker. I've gotten my hand caught SIX times now, and I'm sick of it.
Boy on Left: *under his breath* Maybe it just doesn't like you...

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #92
 

Oh, no, the papers were cut with a 2-inch diameter; the buttons are 2-cm! I hate it when NASA messes up their measuring systems!

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #92
 

Dave: Look at me again and I'll stick you with the pin of this button.

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #92
 

"The students of team 116 really know how to push Dave's buttons (of course, they were taught by the best)."

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #92
 

Dave: HA IVE GOT IT!!! next years game will consist of 12 robots on the field making 116 buttons for the next year. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
blue shirt girl:but dave, you wont be able to spend this quality time with us any more.
Dave:...(that awesome look on his face that he has in the pic)

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #92
 

Dave: Today's Pimpin' Robot Lesson is on why we build robots. Remember we build robots to perform work that would be hazardous to humans, or if the task is too repetitive... Umm, maybe you should disregard that last part. :D

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #92
 

Dave: "I know I said I'd like to try being a NEM this year, but why couldn't I have been assigned mentoring the Chairman's Award committee or heading up Fundraising or even making lunches for the team? Why did I get Button Duty???"

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #92
 

/me: If just one more of these little rug rats asks me "hey Dave, is this pimp?!?" they are gonna need...."

duck quacking from just off-frame: "....AFLAC!!!!"

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #92
 

Dave: "Supervising the buttons? How did i get stuck with that, can't i go supervise something else."

Kids: "Come on you know we really just wanna know what the game is for next year"

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #92
 

My new entry:


(recycle)Little do we know... Dave isn't wearing any pants right now :)(/recycle)

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #92
 

Dave's robotic arm wrestling simulator is a big hit with Team 116...

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #92
 

Dave: Free me from this horror and you will be rewarded under my new world order...

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #92
 

A New Entry:

Dave: "Hm... next year's game... Buttons could be fun to use." *Smiles*
*Girl in Blue pokes him with a pin*
Dave *making face in pic*: "Or not... Note to self: 2007 game will NOT involve buttons... of ANY kind."

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #92
 

<new entry>

/me thinking to self: You know, if Amanda was here to help smoosh these silly buttons, she might get enough exercize to make a serious threat against Woodie for the arm wrestling championship... nahhhh, that is never gonna happen, Woodie has nothing to worry about.

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #92
 

After being bored out of his mind for the last six hours as a result of trying to get closer to his team, Dave tries to liven things up by recreating a certain scene from Blazing Saddles...

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #92
 

(NEW ENTRY)



Dave thinks to himself:

If I can just concentrate hard enough... The camera will burst into flames, creating an ample diversion for an old curmudgeon to escape
this retention that is referred to as being a "Button making party".
--Strangely enough, even Dave's thoughts have perfect grammar and punctuation.--

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #92
 

Dave to self....
Just when I thought team building couldn't get any worse than that jello thing Heidi came up with last year, this comes along. I'll never get these marks out of the dining room table.

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #92
 

<not an entry>
Heh heh, Dave's not that dumb. It is Heidi's table! :D
</not an entry>

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #92
 

<obviously not an entry>
I'll vouch for Dave--it is indeed the table in Heidi's apartment. Perfect for playing Grave Robbers From Outer Space on. (You all think I'm joking.)

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #92
 

<not an entry>
Ha! Heidi's not that dumb either... Eric bought that table (Heidi bought the couch) and besides... there's a table Heidi likes better at Ikea so should something happen to destroy that table... </talking about self in third person>

<also not an entry>
Just wait until the next time you're in town... you can play Devil Bunny Hates the Earth!<the end>
