CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #103

[dlavery]

...and introducing the new corporate slogan: Welcome to the AARP generation! AARP - we aren't just for your parents any more.

[KathieK]

In an effort to cut back on expenses, FIRST decides to recycle certain elements of the program for its 2007 FRC game... mainly, the playing field ramps, and FIRST Senior Mentors. This year robots will be challenged to shoot ping pong balls (available in bulk, here) into the mouths of the recycled FSMs. Points will be assessed based on the size of the FSM goal - those with the larger mouths (as demonstrated here by our good friend Mr. Kloberg) will be worth 5 points - while successfully targeting the FSMs who have learned to keep their mouths shut will earn 15 points. As you can see here, earning the 15 point goal will be a rare achievement.

I think Paul sat on a whoppee cushion. By the look on Dee's face, I think we all know who's having the last laugh.

[KathieK]

"C'mon, guys and gals, let's all sing it together!
Ana 1
ana 2...

F - I - R - S - T the kings and queens of the laboratory..."

[George1902]

Good evening, everyone. Welcome to this week's meeting of FIRST-a-holics Anonymous. Who'd like to begin?

[KathieK]

Paul: Last one off the ramp has to vacuum the playing field before they can go to dinner!

Jenny: Aw, no fair! (http://www.chiefdelphi.com/media/photos/25006)

[Wayne Doenges]

We are the Mentors - my friend
And we'll keep on fighting till the end
We are the Mentors
We are the Mentors
No time for losers
'Cause we are the Mentors of the world

Freddie Mercury is turning over in his grave

[Jessica Boucher]

I had a really good one, but for Jenny Beatty's sake I won't post it

So, instead....
Ohhhhhh, hi-dee-di-dee-di-dee-di-dee-di-dee-di-dee-di!
Dee: Oh, we are Senior Mentors
Kressley: From all around the States
JennyBeatty: We support all those robots there
Kloberg: Gee, they sure are great!
Lauer: But when it comes to the game
Dee: We're not quite as hot
Kressley: We tried to climb up on the ramp
JennyBeatty: But now our points are shot!
Ohhhhhh, hi-dee-di-dee-di-dee-di-dee-di-dee-di-dee-di!

[EricS-Team180]

...yep...sonny, sit down here and let me show you some pics from when
FIRST was young, and so was I <heh heh>...
I met this group of FIRSTheads at a D.S. & K.B. concert.
After all the K.K's and Mountain Dew, the whole thing is a bit fuzzy,
but somehow we ended up in Philly Ramp-Camping for a week. Those were
wild and free days. ...yep

[RoboMom]

[not an entry] You all are having way too much fun, especially Kathie. Jess, I owe you one...

[EddieMcD]

"Those poor mentors thought they were going to see Montana's green heights. Sadly, they wound up in Philly."

<not entry>Is it sad that right now, I'm picturing the mentors doing Jess's Irish Drinking Song? </not entry>

[Rick TYler]

Mentors on the ramp

You know, I'm highly inclined to figure out some way of banning all reference to the FIRST Anthem from the caption contest. I've just got to figure out some way to do it.

Dee: "Let's slide down again!"

Rich: "On the count of 3..."
Brad: "1... 2...
Jenny: "Wheeeeeee!"

Given the lackluster response to this week's contest, I'd say they are achieving their club's primary goal. Next week - a pic of the quintet staring at the wall watching paint dry.

(Did he really just succeed at taking a jab at every single caption contest entry at once?)
