Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #109

Team 343 demonstrates their new invention, "Spray-On Safety Glasses". Next year's Pit Admin and Safety Guys won't have to remind everyone to wear glasses in the pits - they'll just whip out a can an slap a pair on.

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #109

<not an entry> OK, I give. I posted before reading. No one can beat Steve.

BTW, anyone from team 343 still around that stayed in Embassy Suites in Houston? Do you remember the Dragon Devils FLL team at the same hotel? </not an entry>

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #109

Tired of being plagued by pesky boys, the girls finally decide to take matters into their own hands...
Girl #1: "What did you bring?"
Girl #2: "Raid Bug-off, why, what did you bring?"
Girl #1: "Cool! I brought Raid too,Raid Pest-away. Now just where did that pest go?"
Pest... I mean, Guy: "Uh-oh!"

With much doubt and skepticism the two rookies followed the senior’s directions to the letter.

Girl on the left,” Are you sure he said we must mix the white and black colors by spraying them into each other like this?

Do you hear someone laughing?”

To see who was the better artist the decided to make the crate so it stood out, Unfortunatly it was a tie!!! The fumes got to there heads and To determine the winner they had a dule, But wait another problem has come up, they are both out of paint. The dule must wait till, next year when they touch up the crate.

The infamous game of rock paper spraycan.

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #109

Like, aren't we suposed to face off on the main street at high noon?

Yeah, well, there is like no main street, just this silly back room and what is high noon anyway? It's all pretty flat here!

OK so let's just do the big wooden box, you have already hit the tool box and that big thing with the pointy part that spins around and the flame thrower thing.

Yeah, well you hit the the shiny, silver box and now it looks like that Wildstang robot from the video. Hey you have some dirt or something on your shirt, right 'PSSSSTTTT' there!

Hey you do 'PSSSSSSSSSTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT' too!

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #109

After a fight, the girls collapsed into the crate and were not seen mysteriously for another few weeks...

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #109

Guy on Top: Hey! Rookies, what are you still doing here? We sent you to the store to get some elbow grease and told you not to comeback until you do!

Girl on Left: We're going to go, but we didn't feel we were presentable for the public at large. But, then we found whole cases of this stuff, maybe you guys should try using it...

Guy on Top: Huh??? What are talking about????

Girl on Right: Y'know, this nifty spray on deodorant.

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #109

Well, first things first: I apologize for the downtime on the link. I'm not entirely sure what happened (343's site has played host to two caption contests before), but I'll take steps to make sure it doesn't happen in the future.

First place (not that it should surprise most) goes to:

Or to take arms against a sea of teammates,
And by opposing, end them. To die: to spray;
No more; and by a spray to say we end
The heart-ache and the thousand natural colors
That flesh is heir to, 'tis a consummation
Devoutly to be wish'd. To die, to spray;
To spray: perchance to laugh: ay, there's the rub;
For in that spray of paint what laughs may come
When we have sprayed off this florescent color,
Must give us pause: there's the respect
That makes a mess of so short a life;
For who would bear the cans and sprayers of paint,
The oppressor's wrong, the proud man's arrogant act,
The pangs of robot love, the mentor's delay,
The insolence of teammates and the spurns
That patient merit of the unworthy takes,
When he himself might his quietus make
With a spray can? who would finish the job,
To grunt and sweat under a rebuilt crate,
But that the dread of something after spraying,
The undiscover'd country from whose robot
No robot returns, puzzles the will
And makes us rather bear the paint we have
Than spray on others that we know not of?
Thus conscience does make cowards of us all;
And thus the native hue of resolution
Is sicklied o'er with the pale cast of thought,
And paint of great color and glitter
With this regard their heads turn away,
And lose the name of action.-Spray you now,
The fair teammate, in thy spraying
Be all my gloating remember'd.

Second place goes to:
