CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #340

Billfred · January 9, 2011, 11:25pm

And the picture, which I think every Columbia resident is envisioning (or at least the heads of all the local school districts are):

As always, the deadline is Saturday at midnight Eastern unless I’ve frozen to death beforehand.

Go!

Jimmy: “Where the heck did we leave the robot last night?”
Mikey: “The team is going to be steamed if we don’t find it”

Bill_B · January 10, 2011, 2:11am

Mikey: “Still think it’s gonna be a water game this year?”

Jimmy: “Sure! Frozen water!”

ATannahill · January 10, 2011, 7:36am

You shovel 16 tons and what do you get?

Another day closer to the robot being shipped.

[npoe]I really hope someone knows that song[/npoe]

Karibou · January 10, 2011, 8:12am

Back in my day, we had to CARRY the crate to the FedEx store, three miles away, in the snow, uphill both ways. You call this bad?

GaryVoshol · January 10, 2011, 8:18am

Wouldn’t it have been simpler just to build a new crate?

[npoe]

I don’t know whether to panic because it’s build season or panic because it’s supposedly going to snow four inches in Columbia!

Billfred, you just have to get to school ***before ***it starts snowing. Then when you’re trapped, there would be nothing to do but have a continuous build marathon, until they manage to dig you out. Be sure to bring adequate supplies of Mountain Dew.

Cynette · January 10, 2011, 8:21am

Whose *grand *idea was it to offer snow shoveling services as a fundraiser? $20 a driveway! Whaaat were they thinking!?!

BrendanB · January 10, 2011, 10:21am

This is what happens when members break the game pieces early.

nitneylion452 · January 10, 2011, 11:35am

-Are you sure this is what our captain meant when he said, “we really need to pile on the work?”

Taylor · January 10, 2011, 1:22pm

Dude, I told you we should have built Dozer!

EricH · January 10, 2011, 5:27pm

“Dude, quit landing the snow where I’m shoveling!”
“Dude, that’s not me doing it to you, it’s you doing it to me and yourself! Quit trying to blame me!”
“Yeah, right! You’re the one trying to blame me!”

Distant mentor voice: “You two quit that arguing and shovel faster, or you’ll be up on the roof clearing that off after you’re done! And if you argue about that, you’ll be breaking up all the ice on Lake Ontario!”

JaneYoung · January 10, 2011, 5:30pm

This is what happens when Frosty the Snowman and Old Man Winter are BFF. We need to provide both of them with a crash course in Gracious Professionalism before Ship Date next year. Seriously.

DonRotolo · January 10, 2011, 9:51pm

[NPOE]

Yeah we know it.

I guess Billfred’s not a Captain & Tenille fan (see previous entry…
[/NPOE]

FIRST you get the snow, then you get the power, and then you get the women.

KarenH · January 11, 2011, 3:30am

All speculation about a water game may now be put to rest. The 2012 game will feature water, albeit not in its liquid state.

[NPOE] I posted my entry before reading anyone else’s. So no, I wasn’t copying anyone. And yes, we do spend too much time on CD; we’re starting to think alike. :eek: [/NPOE]

system · January 11, 2011, 8:46am

Isn’t this the robot’s job??

Wayne_Doenges · January 15, 2011, 6:29am

“Dude, we’ve shoveled all the parking lot, all the walkways and now the loading dock. When do you think the teacher will cool off?”
Teacher: “OK, you can stop shoveling and I don’t want to hear any more ideas about launching the mini-bot up the pole.”

J.Warsoff · January 16, 2011, 12:16pm

This is what happens when your snow-blowing robot breaks down. Freshmen, grab your shovels!

dodar · January 16, 2011, 12:23pm

Man I told you this year wasnt gonna be a snow game

Ryan_Simpson · January 16, 2011, 1:20pm

This is where their past robots have been cryogenically frozen, only to be cannibalized in future seasons.

Billfred · January 17, 2011, 12:03am
