And the picture:

As always, the theoretical deadline is Saturday at midnight Eastern.

Go!

And then, someone announced that the IRI Talent Show had special celebrity guests: Larry, Moe and Curly! (I’ll let you be the judge as to who’s who ;))

To me, it appears that this is a picture of three judges at some sort of talent show. The judges seem to be very perplexed. However, since Karthik is clearly in the picture, and not on the stage, my original thought can’t be right…

Fortunately for all concerned, JVN and Karthik were NOT together behind the mic at the talent show.

Paul:
Ok guys, Dave just dove under the table…

JVN:
What does it mean?

Karthik:
It means that’s one tough act to follow!

John: “What’s he doing?”

Paul: “I don’t know.”

Karthik: “I don’t care what it is, as long as it doesn’t involve giant balloons.”

5 seconds later - “Oh no, Giant Balloons!”

Paul: Awright, ya knuckleheads! Listen up and pay attention!

JV: Imavictuma soycumstance! Nyuck, nyuck, nyuck!

Karthik: La-ahHHHHH!

Paul: I dunno, guys, what do you think?
JVN: Nah…
Karthik: Nope, he’s just not BORING enough to use as a speaker at Championships! Bring in the next CEO…

[npoe](only joking! I love the speeches at Championships!)[/npoe]

Simon, Randy and Paula of *American Robot *with a familiar saying: “Welcome to Atlanta”.

[NPOE] Apologies in advance[/NPOE]

IRI talent show judges usually must undergo a screening process involving Karthik singing to see if they are physically and mentally up to the task. However, since Karthik now wants to be a judge, the IRI planning committee is now experimenting with hurricane force winds in a futile attempt to develop a similar test of endurance.

Judge 1: “This act is pretty good. I’ll give her an 8.”
Judge 2: “Yes, she has a very good vocal range. I’ll give her a 9.”
Judge 3: “Is it break time yet?”
Laptop: in a depressed voice “I could have been part of a super computer. Maybe I could have help cure cancer or plotted the course for the very first manned Mars flight. But no, I’m stuck here keeping the score for a talent contest. I think I will scramble all the scores and cause total chaos. Hehe.”
Judge 3: “Did you hear someone talking?”

Authors note: You make the decision as to who is Judge 1, 2 or 3 :smiley:

Yet another horrible “American Idol” spinnoff where not even the judges have any talent.

Perhaps they would be better as fashion show or beauty contest judges…oh wait.

Finally, a dirtier judging picture than when paula abdul kissed simon

“So…what does this picture look like to you?”
turns laptop around

“Uh…a robot?”

Judge 1: My team could build a robot to do that.
Judge 2: My team did build a robot to do that.
Judge 3: That was our rookie project last year.

Paul: “I’ve never seen anybody have such a nervous breakdown on stage.”
JVN: “What could cause such a reaction?”
Karthik (into mic): “Once again, your word is ‘Kanagasabapathy’”.

“Where do those Martians get their ideas…?”

We’re burning [strike]day[/strike]moonlight…
