The deadline remains Saturday at midnight Eastern, though an invocation of the Billfred Is Working Way Too Much Rule is likely due to my travels to TNT this weekend. (And, as is tradition, I will accept entries in person at TNT. Preferably written down, so I can remember them.)

Go!

To the chagrin of the CBS executives, Survivor: Tempest 'N' Tampa turned out to be a huge failure and marked the end of the popular franchise.

No, these Boy Scouts aren't lost. They're all on FRC teams. Though why they're INSIDE, I'll never know. After all, this is Florida in the fall, not the Boundary Waters area in Minnesota during the winter, and the latter never stops a good Scout...

The role of the human player has become more extreme. Alliance selection rankings include the human players competing in a marathon of Clue, Risk and Stratego on Friday night.

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #224

Due to an unfortunate misprint in the rules, many teams believed they needed to ship their human players. Here we can see their crates the day before competition.

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #224

before being allowed to touch the power tools or the robot the rookies must first prove they are capable of erecting a tent. Only 3 of 5 completed the task.
