Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #279

The Trackball Surfing Competition finals are about to begin. The refs are there to award points based on pain, humiliation, style, crowd amusement, and distance. An addition to the finals rounds is the ability to enter the Caption Contest as a victim, rated on a scale from -infinity to Billfred. If you wish to challenge any rulings, you must stand on a trackball in the challenge zone until you have finished presenting your case.

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #279

If we stand behind these trackballs, we don't look quite so round in comparison. Either that, or stripes really are slimming.

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #279

Kicking it into overdrive, the refs ruled, kept teams on track, didn't blur the lines, kept their bladders from leaking, and tried not to run over Dan with their super-sized lineup. At the end of the day, they had run out of gas but still had plenty of hot air to spare.

Here we see some of the preliminary results of the Purdue miniaturization project. The billiards balls in the foreground can be used for scale comparison.


[NPOE] Gary, that -infinity is going to take a long time to recover from. Trust me, I know[/NPOE]

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #279

The IRI Planning Committee invited a special guest to give a lecture at IRI in 2008:

Sigmund Freud: "And looking at the referees on the field standing behind those big trackballs, it looks like you're all in for quite an interesting discussion."

Referees: (nervously) "Uh oh..."
