Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #257

RoboHawk, "Faster! More balloons, we need more balloons!!!

We must get enough left to fly "UP" and rescue those two lost T-shirts!"
:)

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #257

Robohawk, practicing in operatic voice:

MEMEMEMEMEMEMEMEMEMEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE EEE

*pop* *pop* *popopopopopopopopopop* ... *pop*
(sounds of the balloons in response to the high note)

*KA-BOOOOOM!* - tee-shirt launcher

Windows shatter in surrounding homes & vehicles due to the high note and the flying tee-shirts.

Robohawk: Ok, I'm ready for the big number, let's get this show on the road.

Sounds of sirens wailing in the distance, growing closer...

Teammate: This is a failure to launch if I ever saw one.

Team 1985, working off of an early game hint, prepares for the 2010 game Duck Hunt.

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #257

Mentor: "Gather around kids, it's story time!"
Students: "...*slowly shuffle into room and sit on carpet squres*"
The mentor began reading.
"Thunderhawk heard a boom, and he knew it was to late. Soon he was flying through the streets, being propelled by a cheap cotton t-shirt. 'I've been hit...' he moaned, crashing into a tree. The impact of him hitting the tree shook down leaves, squirrels, and acorns. A squirrel fell on him, claws landing squarely on his eye, and he shrieked in pain ::ouch:: . 'WHY DIDN'T I WEAR MY SAFETY GLASSES????' he cried, slumping over, eyes rolling back into his head. 'Goodbye, world...stay safe' he warned. Ever since the Thunderhawk incident, safety glasses have been mandatory for everyone in the pits and on the field, and at events involving moving parts, such as parades. You can thank him for your eyesight."
Mentor: "So, what's the moral of this story?"
Kid: "You're not allowed to tell stories any more; that's the moral. C'mon guys, let's go do something fun...you know, we kind of have a robot to build."

Thirty minutes later, the mentor entered the shop. Sure enough, every single kid was wearing their safety glasses. A student came up to him, looking perplexed.
Student: "So, where are YOUR safety glasses?"

::safety::

...and it's a good one, too!

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #257

Team member decorating float grumbles, "We're never going to be able to convert this shooter into a trackball launcher."

Bird: "Be positive! That trackball will fly up into the air, as if it had wings like me!"

Team member: "Ha, those wings? You can't fly either."

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #257

Don't use the mascot for target practice! It's the last one we have!

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #257

A legend in many people's eyes, the Man-Bear-Hawk was photographed doing it's native dance: The hawky-pawky.

[npoe]Jane, eat your heart out.[/npoe]

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #257

Robot's Microprocessor thoughts: "Must load 40 inch trackball into cannon to kill the enemy hawk!"

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #257

I thought RoboHawks were an endangered species. Wait till the DNR sees this picture. Tshirts won't be the only things that are flying!
