(I figured Paul has had enough abuse for one week. ;))

As always, the deadline is theoretically around Saturday at midnight.

Go!

So John when you took this picture did you think your head would be shiner than the robot in 3 short years (I think you did that's why you're wearing the hat)

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #211
 

Good thing JVN's wearing that hat, because otherwise I wouldn't have been able to tell them apart.

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #211
 

We are so dang proud of this here bi-national robot (see them flags there?) that we covered it in real gold. Ain't she purty? Well shucks!

[NPOE]Thanks Billfred for the link back to last week's scored, I'll even forgive you for not scoring #210 while you were driving back from IRI [/NPOE]

JVN: This robot is so good, we're already figuring the odds of a world championship!
Eric: Hmm... That can't be right... Hey, John, every time I try, I end up dividing by zero. That can't be good, can it?
Paul Copioli (off-camera): How about adding wings, a beak, and a tail to the zero?
JVN: Dividing by CHICKEN? Might work.
Eric: (5 minutes later) Nope, still doesn't. How about instead, we put a snout and four legs on it?
Paul: NOOOOOOOO!
JVN: YES!!

[npoe]You thought I couldn't slip Paul Copioli into this, didn't you?[/npoe]

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #211
 

Eric: I AM JVN!
Chorus of other 229ers: No I am JVN

JVN, who is recovering from food poisoning: Why does everyone want to be me, anyways?

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #211
 

John: Ha ha! You think that's embarrassing? Just wait to see what I have in store for Copioli. It may take a few years, but he's gonna get it. I just have to call Baker and get it arranged ...

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #211
 

JVN: "So Eric, you built this robot all on your own? No help?"
Eric: "Yes I did."
*angry Team 229 voices heard off camera*
JVN: "What are they going on about."
Eric: "They're just jealous that I built this bot without their help."
*Team 229 comes out, picks up Eric and places him unceremoniously in the dumpster*

Suzy Q the pig squeals off camera, thinking "oooo, SHINY ROBOT!"
JVN: "Awww, what a cute little pig! Here, piggy piggy! Here, piggy piggy!"
Eric: "Ummm...if she's such a cute little pig, why is she apparently preparing to charge the robot, and why are Paul and Aidan chasing her with a cage, leash, and a muzzle?"
JVN: *face falls* "Crap." *begins running in circles and flailing arms* "CODE RED! CODE RED! OVEREXCITED PIG RAMMING ROBOT! CODE REDDDDDD! 229, WHERE ARE YOUUUUUU?!"
229 member (off-camera): "Hey, YOU'RE the one who wanted to paint the robot gold."

[Steve Irwin(rip)-esque accent]
And here we see the majestic JVN in his natural habitat, interacting with other members of the pack. His pride in his handiwork is well deserved, just take a look at that golden coat, what a beauty we have here...

[stereotypical used car salesman accent]
How 'bout this beauty right here? Lifts tetras and drives like a charm! And it's only got four thousand miles on it! How does $7,995 sound?
[/stereotypical used car salesman accent]

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #211
 

The robot, alone, reminds me of the timeless Disney classic: Beauty and the Beast.
It is both a beauty and a beast.

Today we are going robot hunting...
[Later]
It looks like we found something and isn’t it just beautiful

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #211
 

Eric: Are you sure this is going to make a difference???
JVN: Are you kidding me? Once Karthik sees the Canadian flag on there he won't be able to resist! Of COURSE they'll pick us for an alliance partner!

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #211
 

To some degree, getting to know JVN isn't as easy as one would think....:)

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #211
 

Offcamera: So why does John have that goofy look on his face?
Eric: Well, the controller didn't have enough memory to track autonomous waypoints the way we wanted too, so we borrowed some from John. We call the system, 'division of V-Neun'.
Offcamera: Wow, have there been any side effects?
Eric: A couple, now he's useless in the pit and talks like a marketing major.

"the best 2005 robot never to win a regional"

<Not an entry> Agreed. </Not an entry>

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #211
 

somewhere in the 5th dimension, a small group of what looks like white lab mice examines the image...

Veeblort: It appears our android is assimilating itself into human culture.

Quiddxrk: Indeed, the human, Eric, and the robot seem totaly unaware, of the substitution.

JVN: whoa where am I...and why am I sitting in all these cedar chips?
