When the sad day finally arrived for little "Richie" Kressly's mom to send her special son out into the big, cruel world alone, she found that she had run out of thread to stitch his real first name onto his underwear, so she improvised.

A Fairy Tale of Sorts

In a state of utter confusion, Rich consulted the Mirror on the Wall:

Rich:

Mirror, Mirror on the Wall
who's the coolest of them all?

and the Mirror answered:

Mirror:

Can you r-e-a-d?
Can you s-p-e-l-l?

Rich began to whine -

Rich:

But I'm in tie-dye like WildStang
I'm competing with the big dogs
I'm handsome like...

and the Mirror said -

Mirror:

Can you r-e-a-d?
Can you s-p-e-l-l?
Do you see the sign that says,
'No whining'?

And Rich began to Dork
- laughing
- dancing
- singing
- pulling all the tools, nuts, bolts, odds, ends, metal shards, out of his pockets and flinging them at the Magic Mirror (who fashioned them into a mini metal Dork)

Rich:

Ok, I admit it, I'm a Dork
I LIVE for FIRST
I BREATHE FIRST
I AM FIRST
BE the FIRST, surrender to the power of FIRST...

and, as the Senior Mentors gathered round to help their literate and profuse comrade,
The Mirror on the Wall, feeling highly successful, sighed the sigh of relief and said -

Mirror:

Another FIRSTer comes to grips with their inner Dork.
Life is good.

And Rich lived happily ever after, re-signed to his Dorkiness.
The End

September 14th, 1982. Three days after its invention, the Post-It note was successfully tested for the first time.

Man, that "DORK" sticker must be humiliated.

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #119
 

In an attempt to be respected, Rich follows his own signature advice ("Only those who will risk going too far can possibly find out how far one can go.." - TS Elliot). He is attempting to move up from the ranks of FIRST Senior Mentor. We all wish him luck in his endeavor.

Who says there's no truth in advertising?

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #119
 

"Im not a dork im a nerd"

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #119
 

At least they didn't get me mixed up with someone who is in FIRST in the New England area.

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #119
 

I don't care how humiliating the sticker is the sign clearly states "No Whining"

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #119
 

In an effort to promote his new training program "Drawing On Robotics Knowledge", Rich decided to advertise. In order to save space and time he decided to make up an acronym. Shown here is the results :)

Why wear the shirt, when you can wear the shirt and the sticker!

Remember kids. It's always important to mark all of your tools in the shop so you can easily find them when you need them. Drill bits, hammers, hardware, screwdrivers and your "esteemed" leader.
