Caption Contest #43 - Ends Wednesday 12.1.10 At 9PM EST

Of course Shuttle Discovery is landing in this pic, but it doesn’t take much imagination to think it might not be landing at all. I’m hoping you get that, and you can spin some fun into a good caption, or two, or maybe even three.
Since the final launch for Discovery is currently scheduled for mid December (no earlier than 12-17-10) and with the final flights for Shuttles Endeavour and Atlantis planned for 2011, it’s definitely time to be remembering, honoring, and maybe even having a little fun with the Shuttle program… especially if there’s a bacon sandwich at Oshkosh 2011 to be won!
So, you've got til Wednesday evening at 9pm EST to submit your clever/funny/cool captions. Then, I’ll pick the best 5 and put ’em in a poll for everyone to vote on for all day Thursday and Friday so we can find the winner.
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!
Then, anyone who wants to can cast their vote will be able to starting Thursday morning and running thru til 9pm EST Friday. The winner will be posted Saturday morning 12-4-10. And now… it’s burnout time!
