And the picture, since it’s IRI this week:
http://www.chiefdelphi.com/media/photos/28885
Since I’ll be in Indiana for IRI this weekend, the deadline is theoretically Saturday at midnight central time. Of course, since I have to drive over 600 miles on Sunday to get back home in time for work on Monday, an invocation of the Billfred Is Working Way Too Much Rule is certainly possible.
As is always the case the week of a competition, I’ll accept entries in person (though you may want to write them down to make sure I remember them!)
Chris, we all know that you do a lot of the behind-the-scenes preparation for IRI but man, sometimes we have a hard time keeping track of you. We put our heads together and came up with this vest. Anytime you start moving around out of the spotlight and in those dark shadows that dwell behind-the-scenes, we’ll know exactly where you are and what you’re doing.
Chris: Swell guys, just swell. Next thing you know, I’ll have to kiss a pig.
Chris: “So Andy, where are you going to eat tonight?”
Andy: “I thought I would go to Pizza Hut.”
Chris: “What about Smokey Bones? I heard they have great BBQ pork.”
Andy: “No I’m a little tired of pork.”
Paul: “Don’t you think we should let the crew reset the field?”
AB: Chris, just what kind of battery do you use to power your super-vest?
CF: um, I dunno, but I think your shirt is leaking up onto your hat…
{{{Not part of entry: A request for a minor procedural change for this year. Billfred, when you post the scores in the new thread, can you also (or instead) post a hyperlink to the last post of the old thread? I find that I want to read the reasoning behind the scores every week, and have to resort to a convoluted method to do just that.}}}
Yes, Chris, my mom did in fact make me wear this hard hat, lest these pernicious inflatable inner tubes bash my skull in. She even stenciled my name on the inside liner for me, just like she does my underwear.
Andy Baker was performing a trick for the refs, Chris Fultz, and Paul Copioli. The call they were looking for had already been determined between Andy Baker and Chris Fultz through an elaborate series of facial expressions and hand gestures before everyone could come together to agree on the call.
<Not a part of entry> Why midnight central time? Indianapolis is in the eastern time zone. Are you staying in Chicago or something?</Not part of entry>
Andy: Chris, you’ll have to turn down the lighting on your vest. It could interfere with the vision sensors. Even Paul here is being dazzled by your brilliance.
Paul: No, I didn’t exactly say that. It was more like, if you can’t dazzle them with your brilliance, then baffle them …
Chris: Excuse me, but what’s going on out here?
Andy: Well, Paul’s scared because his microphone battery is dead and someone just ran to the store to buy a new one. We need a live… is it a live pig? Gary nods
Andy: We need a live pig to take the curse off the rack and nobody seems to know how to call that potential interference. to the group
Chris: Is that about right? they nod
Andy: We’re dealing with a lot here.
Chris: Okay, well, uh… we can pretend to be deliberating about the penalty until we get Paul a new battery, we’ll call interference on Red and it won’t affect the outcome of the match so no one will be upset, and we’re in the middle of Indiana, so someone’s bound to have a pig. Ok let’s Rack n’ Roll.
This caption may or may not have been inspired by Bull Durham.:yikes:
Andy: Chris, Paul doesn’t believe me! Doesn’t the macarena go like this???
Chris: Um, gee, I’m not sure I’ve ever paid attention…
Paul: I say let’s skip it and do the Cha Cha Slide instead!
