Caption Contest #84 - Ends Wed 10.9.13 At 9PM EDT (Win An Avgeek Book!)
Monday, October 7, 2013 at 09:01AM 
We haven't had Caption Contest fun here since before Oshkosh so I figure it's time to give it another go. Everything is the same as before except for the prize for the winner... since I didn't have anyone claim their bacon sandwich prize at OSH this year I thought maybe I'd go back to the early prize idea of an avgeek book from my collection. The 'media rate' for mailing books is really low so it's easy for me to send out a little piece of aviation publishing history to the person with the sharpest wit. The actual book being sent will be announced after we find that best captioner.
So... 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 10-12-13. Pedal fast my avgeek friends and have some fun!
