Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #333

The real reason why no teams could score in the blue goal during practice: it was rigged so they couldn't. Here we see the field crew fixing it after somebody "fixed" it. Who remains a mystery, though the FIRST Field Police suspect an inside job based on this photo.

In an unrelated note, nobody has yet been able to translate the message seen in the window. It is widely supposed that it contains the identity of the person responsible for the field scoring system for the 2006 game, and has been scrambled to protect his or her identity.

Well, it takes something much more complex to trap an FTA.

After interminable delays while the stepladder was brought out and the goal cleared, the pokey-pokey stick was introduced.

FTA hollering down from the ladder:
Ok guys - quit messing around and get back to work. I mean it.

FTA mumbling to himself:
Orifice, schmorifice - why does the field crew always link everything I'm doing to bad puns? This is just a really big hole. Seriously.
