Good thing there's no thunder to knock out my cable!

Here are the scores after the last round:

(There was a part of me that was about to go with a kiss-the-pig photo, but I decided it might be too soon.)

As always, the deadline is theoretically kinda sorta not really Saturday at midnight Eastern.

Go!

a robot that i dont own, and could potentially beat me in later matches, better be graciously careful

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #217
 

"Maybe it'll work better if I get some help...

Hey, Rhode Warriors! Can I borrow your robot? I need to move a robot here!"

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #217
 

the most fearsome (yet gracious) thing i've ever seen they will be unstopable

The moment it was announced that Grant would be driving, everyone in the stadium fled in a panic:ahh::eek: , leaving the seats eerily empty...


Don
[npoe]Oooh, a tie! Again![/npoe]

"Wait... which way is front?"

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #217
 

Whoa! Man, I got to get me one of these!

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #217
 

Grant has been in so many publications, he no longer poses for the camera. Here we had to be satisfied with a shot of the back of his head.

Attention K-Mart shoppers: Blue Light Special in Aisle 4 on Tumbleweeds. Get them while they last.

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #217
 

Uh-oh...........the Robowranglers are going to kill me.......I think I see blue Smoke!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!. . . . Oh wait, thats just the reflection of the light...........crud.

Grant: "When I push the joystick forward the robot goes backwards."
John: That's ok. It just means you are right brain dominant. A left brain dominant driver would see the robot going in the right direction. We just have to hang you upside-down.
*Grant gets picked up and turned over. He pushes the stick forward*
Grant: "That's much better but now I'm getting dizzy."

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #217
 

"I am JVN."

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #217
 

Grant, prior to driving: "Me? Drive? Little circle thing? No problem."

Grant, after driving: "WHOA. I have a whole new opinion on circles. Sorry guys, I'll stick to driving rectangles and squares. At least you know which way is forward."

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #217
 

Grant - So what happens if I push this button?
JVN - NO!!
*Tumbleweed transforms into red and black Half-Track*
Grant - Oh...

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #217
 

The name "Tumbleweed" was developed when, immediatly after this picture, Grant glanced 1983's robot, causing tumbleweed to tip, roll, and bounce around the field. Other potential names included superball, rubberbot, and Mars rover EDL 2.0

A married couple attends the championship event:

Wife: These seats are horrible!
Husband: Hey, you're the one who wanted to get a close view of the action!
Wife: Yes, but not like this! Half our view is obstructed by the driver, and this blue light is getting in my eyes!
Husband: *screaming* What will it take for me to satisfy you these days?!
Wife: *also screaming* Well, maybe if you could clean the house once in a while, then I'd--
Husband: *still screaming* Oh, there you go again with the house! Do you know how many hours I have to put in every week at work?!

*continues arguing for three days straight*

After drinking from the font of knowledge that is Vielkind-N, <yoda voice> "Know not where the front is, do you?"</yoda voice>, Grant instigates the first 7 bot pile-up in FIRST history. (Poor placement of the queueing filler line was certainly a contribuitng factor.)

Heard from peanut gallery, "Gee, Force it why don't you."

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #217
 

Grant was tired of waiting for Billfred to score the latest caption contest, so he found something better to do.

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #217
 

Guys, I've got the robot! Now if only I can find which way is forward on this thing, I could drive it out of here and make a clean heist...

<NPOE> Billfred, did you purposefully make Caption contest #thunder chickens have a thunder chicken in it?
