CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #49

[Gary Dillard]

FIRST's experiment to replace winner's medals with crowns met with mixed reaction and was canceled after the first week of regionals.

According to a FIRST spokesperson, "The crowns made some people really happy, but they didn't realize how goofy they looked."

karthik: can i have my crown back now ??

[Rich Wong]

Deep voice announcer...
Music...

“HERE SHE IS….. Miss U S FIRST of 2005!
(Loud applause)

Please welcome the winner of the 2005 Miss U S FIRST Queens!
She is Ashley from Victor, NY and a member of Rookie Team 1559.

She loves robots, making new friends, and believes that robots are COOL. She received high marks at presenting "Applications using linear and non-linear hyper-extensions with applied close-loop feedback systems." She also won the talent portion of the contest by reciting the entire list of KOP in less then 1 minute; forward AND backward.
AND She can lead an awesome team cheer too.

During her reign as FIRST Queen, she promise to spread the word of FIRST throughout this land, have a regional in every State and better food at the Regionals.
(More loud applause)

HERE SHE COMES…. Miss U S FIRST… Ashley!.”

<not part of entry> I know I should probably stick with my first entry, but this just came to me </not part of entry>

"Look, it must be the queen"

" 'ow do you know she's the queen?"

"She 'asn't got sh** all over 'er"

<note to moderator - please edit this however you need to in order to meet CD rules - any true Monty Python fan will get the joke anyway>

Me: I wonder how a tiara would look with my mohawk .

[Not part of entry] Time to find a tiara and find out. [/Not part of entry]

[JackN]

Asheley recently robbed Heidi of her crown for the -infinity award.

[Mike Schroeder]

(someone is gonna hunt me down and beat me for this)

Ashley: Mirror Mirror on the wall who's the fairest robo-chick of them all

*mirror crack*

ashley *tilts head and smiles* Hedi told me this mirror would work.....


*not entry*Gary i would also like to point out that no crazy photos have been used of me yet, and i think i fall under the mentor catagory..... so your reasonining is flawed*not entry*

[EricS-Team180]

...combining her deep fear of alien mind control and a bold sense of fashion, Ashley carefully morphed her aluminum foil beanie into a tiara...

[Travis Hoffman]

Here we reluctantly get to see the horribly-misshapen Frog Princess as she patiently awaits the day her prince will appear and restore her to her former beauty. Until then, everyone be polite and try not to grimace too much in her presence...ribbet.



If everyone here didn't know I was kidding, they'd swear I just crossed the line.....ANYTHING FOR CAPTION CONTEST POINTS AND GLORY!

[MissInformation]

Ashley took her role as drama queen very seriously indeed.

[Jacqui]

Ashley: How do I look?

Everyone else: ::holds back laughing:: Erm...I think that you need to match the shoes, take off the boas, and not do the little kid look...oh one second..this is FIRST Robotics we're talking about...never mind....perfectly fine!

[dlavery]

"OK, it is me in a crown or Andy in a boa ... it's your choice, and you HAVE to pick one!"

I would like to file an appeal to the ninth circuit court. As previously noted, I work on Mars time. A Mars day (one sol) is 24 hours and 40 minutes. So midnight Saturday did not occur until 12:40am. If you will notice, my post was accepted at 12:35am. So I actually beat the deadline by five minutes. Based on that, I am requesting reconsideration of the entry by the judges.

Consistent with FIRST rules, you must file an appeal before you leave the stage. Since the ruling was made at 9:12 PM Sunday and you didn't file your appeal until 8:56 AM Monday, you are too late on any planet.
