Caption Contest #77 - Ends Wednesday 10.24.12 At 9PM EDT
Monday, October 22, 2012 at 07:19AM 
The last time I offered up a Caption Contest challenge was way back before Oshkosh, so I figure it's time for more harmless avgeekery that ends with bacon! I'm thinking this bizarre picture should stir up some very creative captions. but keep in mind that short captions that feature a fabulous twist in thinking are usually the most popular. And speaking of popular, the caption that gets the most votes will earn the associated captioner a bacon sandwich at OSH13!
So here's the deal... you've got til Wednesday evening at 9pm EDT 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 EDT
4) Keep it clean!
Then, anyone can cast their vote starting Thursday morning and running thru til 9pm EDT Friday. The winner will be posted Saturday morning 10-27-12. So c'mon avgeeks, give it a tri : )
