Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #211

So John when you took this picture did you think your head would be shiner than the robot in 3 short years (I think you did that's why you're wearing the hat)

Good thing JVN's wearing that hat, because otherwise I wouldn't have been able to tell them apart.

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #211

We are so dang proud of this here bi-national robot (see them flags there?) that we covered it in real gold. Ain't she purty? Well shucks!

[NPOE]Thanks Billfred for the link back to last week's scored, I'll even forgive you for not scoring #210 while you were driving back from IRI [/NPOE]

Don

JVN: This robot is so good, we're already figuring the odds of a world championship!
Eric: Hmm... That can't be right... Hey, John, every time I try, I end up dividing by zero. That can't be good, can it?
Paul Copioli (off-camera): How about adding wings, a beak, and a tail to the zero?
JVN: Dividing by CHICKEN? Might work.
Eric: (5 minutes later) Nope, still doesn't. How about instead, we put a snout and four legs on it?
Paul: NOOOOOOOO!
JVN: YES!!

[npoe]You thought I couldn't slip Paul Copioli into this, didn't you?[/npoe]

JVN: "So Eric, you built this robot all on your own? No help?"
Eric: "Yes I did."
*angry Team 229 voices heard off camera*
JVN: "What are they going on about."
Eric: "They're just jealous that I built this bot without their help."
*Team 229 comes out, picks up Eric and places him unceremoniously in the dumpster*

Suzy Q the pig squeals off camera, thinking "oooo, SHINY ROBOT!"
JVN: "Awww, what a cute little pig! Here, piggy piggy! Here, piggy piggy!"
Eric: "Ummm...if she's such a cute little pig, why is she apparently preparing to charge the robot, and why are Paul and Aidan chasing her with a cage, leash, and a muzzle?"
JVN: *face falls* "Crap." *begins running in circles and flailing arms* "CODE RED! CODE RED! OVEREXCITED PIG RAMMING ROBOT! CODE REDDDDDD! 229, WHERE ARE YOUUUUUU?!"
229 member (off-camera): "Hey, YOU'RE the one who wanted to paint the robot gold."

And here we see the majestic JVN in his natural habitat, interacting with other members of the pack. His pride in his handiwork is well deserved, just take a look at that golden coat, what a beauty we have here...

How 'bout this beauty right here? Lifts tetras and drives like a charm! And it's only got four thousand miles on it! How does $7,995 sound?

The robot, alone, reminds me of the timeless Disney classic: Beauty and the Beast.
It is both a beauty and a beast.
