Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #117

Are you a nerdly robot operator?

Does your next FIRST competition coincide with that can't miss "Star Trek - DS9" Marathon on Spike TV? Or perhaps your first date with a *real female*?

Then worry no more! For the cheap price of selling your prized D&D collectibles on eBay, you too can have your own iRobot RoboDork!

It pilots! It co-pilots! It browses Slashdot - all at the same time!

Act now! Operators are standing by!

Former driver for 383: "I don't really mind that they replaced me with a robot, but if says 'nanny nanny boo boo' one more time, I'm going to short its circuits!"

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #117

383's new driver was told that over time a competition driver should become one with the robot. Unfortunately, he took that literally.

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #117

And now we see the secret 383 driver tryout program. Someone heard "we must beat that robot!" and the rest is history. And I thought our driver tryouts were tough.

I think that Billfred needs to give me point for the assist. Or... he should give me a penalty point for posting a caption in the wrong week. Ah... maybe he did that! +1 for the assist, -1 for the error = 0. I'm a zero this week. I can deal with that.
