CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #53

[Billfred]

It was a dark and stormy night....well, actually it is up here in Maine.

Normally, this is where I'd make some awkward segue to the scores. But since it's a new year, I'm going to wipe the slate clean.

Here's a reminder of the rules:

-I post a picture. You come up with the best caption for it, judged on originality or, in the absence of that, dry humor.
-First place gets ten points, second place gets five, honorable mentions are two, and the burn award (given to the best zinger of the week) gets three. All decisions are made by yours truly. (Oh, and everyone gets at least one point.)

Along the course of the past year, there's been a few rules created, most of them on the fly. Here's the list:

Furthermore, any contestant may request in the event of an emergency or natural disaster for the next caption contest to be posted up to 47 hours before Billfred originally planned on it.

(of course, the deadline is now midnight saturday, but the theory remains)

If, for whatever reason, Billfred is working on a job on a day he has to post or judge a caption contest, he reserves the right to fudge the posting or judging by one day in either direction.

If, in Billfred's judgement, he will be unable to administer the caption contest for a week, he may select one contestant to temporarily run the contest, including picture selection and judging. Since that contestant can't enter their own contest, they will receive their average score multiplied by the number of weeks they run the contest, rounded off.

Oh yeah, and I'm probably supposed to stick a picture in here somewhere. Here we go:

As always, the deadline is midnight Saturday.

Go!!

[JVN]

Under the pretense of reffing, Andy and John really just wanted to take a peak "under the hood" of the national champion.

[Daniel Brim]

Doing the worm on the metal grating from 2003 really hurts.

[Pat McCarthy]

Five minutes after the initial proposition to see who could do more push-ups, we listen in...

Andy Baker: "Ooone!"
JVN: "Ack! One half!"

[Goober!!!]

(JVN)WOW!!! look at Wildstang's bot its PURITY!!!
(Andy) one sec i see my mom HI!! mom!!!

[richardp]

JVN: "I told you they would send us tools to break out."
Andy: "Hit the deck we have been spotted!"

[Mike Schroeder]

Baker and JVN both being strap for cash heard a quarter fell under the ramp,
andy looks back and shouts "ALRIGHT I CAN SUPERSIZE IT TONIGHT!!!!"

[Arefin Bari]

John: Dude, you are suppose to check if the robots are on the ramp or not.

Andy: But they have 4 robots on the field which are ready to go, you think they can kill us during Autonomous?

John: You have been in FIRST for a while, haven't you learned yet that the field is being controlled by the scorekeepers? They didn't press start the match yet.

[Jay H 237]

So that's how those omni wheels work on the grate!

[Gary Dillard]

Gosh you're right Big Mike, the number 111 is definitely only .74" stroke AND only 3.99 inches tall; they should have been disqualified which means Raider Robotix should be declared the national champions.

NOT!

[Bcahn836]

John- "See I told you these were the best seats in the house"
Andy- "The Robots are coming the robots are coming!!"

[Andy Baker]

Watch out V-Neun, here comes the "steamroller". Aaaaah!


AB

[Tytus Gerrish]

HELP!!! MY BELT BUCKLE IS COUGHT ON THE GRID AND THIS ROBOT IS AFTER ME!!!!

[KathieK]

When Chris asked us to be part of the entertainment, this wasn't what I had in mind!

[Ashley Christine]

JVN and Andy wake up.

JVN: "Gosh I didnt know sleeping on a metal grid would be so nice"
Andy: "Uh dude, the teams are here..."
JVN: "You mean... they saw us sleeping... on the SAME side of the field!? My reputation is ruined!"
