I got a lot of entries....The last one is kinda pathetic, but I couldn't get Gimp to work right with the transparency.

Someone with better skillz should redo this one right!

Posted by: Bob Shaw Apr 13 2006, 09:48 PM

Right.

Gloves off!

QWERTY!

Cropped it down just a bit to save bandwidth.

Sorry, Bob. You want us to stop?

The real reason why Spirit is driving with 5 wheels now.

Posted by: hendric Apr 17 2006, 05:57 AM

I am surprised, just surprised that NOBODY thought of taking cans of Lipovan and stacking them all over Spirit's solar panels...

Some other captions that I didn't have time to do:

SFR - ISO SMR Must love sunsets, rocks, and hiking #311

"All your base.... Surrender Dorothy.... Chess... Das Parking Boot.... SFR...."
Every one a gem! I am proud to be part of this board!
And now, one for Doug:

As I read that last one, what went through my mind was:

"Dust devils don't clean solar panels. People clean solar panels."

...dust devils may not clean solar panels:

And a little aside, the funniest bumper sticker I ever saw was colored bright red with the words "If this is blue, you're going too fast". You know that only a certain group of drivers on a given day will get that one

Posted by: Phil Stooke Apr 19 2006, 03:02 AM

odave, I really wish I had thought of that dust devil one. Very good!

As for Bob... when I saw the first version of that post I thought - either this guy is a genius, or he's an idiot. Now I know which it is!

"Lo!", said G'nik to the throng, who had gathered now that the crushing beast had stopped, "Verily she eats her food through these. Bring forth more dust. And holy screwdrivers that we might prise them off!"

"Forty-two!" yelled Loonquawl. "Is that all you've got to show for seven and a half million years' work?"

"You said," shouted Clython to the roar of the local astronomical community,"that the chances of anything coming from Earth were a million-to-one. And yet..."

OK... I'd done these a loooong time ago, just post-EDL. And they're not dirt writings but thought I'd pass them along anyway.

I was at JPL this weekend for an educator's seminar and saw this in the Von Karman museum. Apparently one "Natalie" is a member of the KISS army. They gots to pay their cleaning crew more.

What was that about life imitates art?

EDIT- on second glance - Kim Loves Natalie? KILL Natalie?
