Monday, January 18, 2010 at 08:16AM 
The damage has already been done… might as well find a way to laugh about it, eh? My understanding is that the people got out ok, but the airplane? Not so much.
So let’s take a few minutes, come up with some really funny captions, and then laugh about it! The best caption will put the winner in line for $20 in AirPigz funny money. (I hope to have the prizes in place for ’trading’ before too long - hang in there : )
You’ve got til Wednesday evening at 9pm EST to submit captions, then I’ll pick the 5 best captions and put ’em in a poll for everyone to vote on.
The Rules:
1) Max of 3 submissions per person
2) Submissions go in the 'comments' area
3) Game ends Wednesday at 9pm EST
4) Keep it clean!
Anyone who wants to cast their vote will be able to after the poll goes up around an hour after the 9pm Wednesday submission deadline.
We'll vote for 24 hours, til 9pm EST on Thursday. Then the winner will be posted Friday morning 1-22-10. Have fun, and beware of thin ice!
