Team #4's mascot was less than happy about the giant peacock poser running about at comps. Why couldn't his costume be that cool?

Good thing it's Virtual NASCAR. You take your hands off the controls like that in real NASCAR, bad things are gonna happen. Bad things, but pretty things, as peacock feathers blanket the whole site.

A study to determine similarities in the mating habits of large birds and nerds is generating disappointing results.

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #268

Team Daisy's current team mascot didn't like being replaced by an over stuffed bird so he decided to put up an "Open Season Peacocks" sign. The rest, is as the say, history.

Professional mentorship in FIRST is not just limited to engineering. Mascots, too, learn by watching the best.

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #268

Not an entry:

It's Monday night and we still have no results. I suspect that watching paint dry is one of Billfred's current hobbies, either that or latex paint fumes have gotten to him...

Ah, home ownership (even if it's a condo). A never ending struggle between maintenance, motivation, money and minutes.... I, for one, was elated to hear that Billfred bought his own place: Misery loves company.

Still not an entry.

Not paint fumes so much as a bunch of popcorn ceiling dust combined with a chaser of a bug I may have acquired and a dash of no rest. (I'm taking a mental health night tonight--paint comes tomorrow and Wednesday, floors Thursday, the moving men (and lock changing) Friday.) Whoever lumped home ownership in with the American Dream must've hired out a lot of work.
