CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #126

[Wayne Doenges]

Andy: "Daddy brought home some bearings for you to play with. Mark tried to press them into a slightly smaller hole. These are the bad ones."
Little girl: "But daddy, why are there so many of them?"
Andy: *sigh* "Just keep playing."

[Steve W]

With Christmas bearing down on the Bakers, Andy thought that a little relaxation would help them coast into the season. Driven by their dad the girls find the going not so smooth. Andy's remarks are like small pieces of dirt that cause the game to grind to a halt. As per norm, mom arrives and like a well greased machine, and is able to remove Andy from the area. The game starts back up and now runs very smoothly. Moral of the story is "If everything is running smooth, sit back, coast and enjoy the ride. If someone becomes like a little speck bearing down on your game of life, remove them before the ride grinds to a halt."

[Graham Donaldson]

Andy: "Almost there, girls. Put those down smoothly and then you can start playing."

Girl on far right: "Ah, ah, ah, ah-chooooooooo!!!!"

(roll...) clink, clink, clink

Girl on far left: "Aww... now we have to set them all up again!"

Andy: "Apologize!"

Girl on right: "But Daddy..."

Andy: "Apologize!"

Girl on right: "Sorry..."

Andy: "Now go get a tissue!"

Andy thinking: Maybe we try using Mecanum rollers???

<not an entry>First of all... awwwwwwwwww! <not an entry>

Girl holding bearing: Daddy, a bearing has an inner race, right?
Andy (proudly): Right.

Girl holding bearing: and a bearing has an outer race, right?
Andy (more proudly): Right.

Girl holding bearing: and a bearing has special very smooth round balls, right?
Andy (even more proudly): Right.

Girl holding bearing: and they come in different sizes to support different loads, right?
Andy (bursting with pride): Right.

Girl holding bearing: and some are sealed, right?
Girl in white (interupting impatiently) : Daddy, make her stop stalling and move her checker so I can jump it!!

Life at the Baker house: Loser cleans the hog barn floor. Soooooeeeee!

<not part of entry> Aw, don't give me that, anybody that's ever done that knows it builds character. Just remember to wear the "special" boots. Besides, it beats cleaning up the field after Dave's VEX game. </not part of entry>

[Dave Scheck]

In the Baker household, there's always a dilemma when playing AndyMark checkers....who gets to be Andys (or is that Andies??) and who gets to be the Marks.

[skimoose]

Dad, no offense, but we have more fun playing checkers with Mom. At least we can eat the cookies afterward.

[EricH]

Shortly after this picture was taken, the following was heard:
"Dad, a piece came apart!"
"NOOOO! Now we have to find all the small balls so we can keep playing! This could take forever!"
"Relax, kids. I'll build a robot to do the job for us. The only problem is, I'll need the other game pieces..."

[Al Skierkiewicz]

Daddy,
These are really cool looking checkers but they keep rolling off the board. And what's all this gooey stuff all over my hands, ewwwww!

[Andy Baker]

me, complaining: "Lucy, quit wiggling. You've got a boney bottom."

[Gary Dillard]

Who knew you could have this much fun with 1 geek and 12 F.A.G.'s

[not part of entry] I know the bearing company doesn't have periods after the letters, but CD rules won't let me spell it out [/not part of entry]

[Cuog]

"king me... wait is that my checker or yours, maybe using identical bearings wasn't such a good idea afterall...

[Ian Curtis]

Andy: What are you doing exactly?
Lucy: We're training. We don't want to lose like she did.

[MissInformation]

Andy was so busy with AndyMark and getting ready for kick-off that he forgot to go shopping for Christmas, but like any good engineer, he came up with a quick solution and made their presents from left over parts. The girls thought the ball bearings checkers were fun, however they drew the line at the dolls he had pieced together...

Isabel, Rachel and Lucy: "But Daddy, we wanted Bratz dolls!"
Andy: "Come on girls, don't you know, Gearz dolls are all the rage right now?"

[EddieMcD]

"Here, we see how the Baker family battles over matters of honor and whether abbreviations count in Scrabble. THEY DON'T!!!"
