CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #521

[efoote868]

When you get done with this one, build a second. I always wanted a walk in tub.

[Jon Stratis]

Proof that you're still young at heart: your students pack you in the crate, not the other way around!

[rsisk]

Little know fact that mentor Bob was the inspiration for Alice In Chains' song: Man In The Box

[DonRotolo]

No, no! We're supposed to think outside the box!

[NPOE]I propose we extend the "working too much" rule to allow more than a day's leeway. Billfred is, after all, a volunteer at this, and he traveled to New Jersey (on purpose) just this weekend. To volunteer.[/NPOE]

[Wayne Doenges]

Bob: "How can I think outside of the box when I work in a cubicle?"

[NAE] He just invokes a chain use of the BIWWTM Rule. He can move the date one day, and that becomes the date to judge the contest on. If he's still busy, a second invocation of the rule. In really extreme cases, there is always the OBIWWTM Rule, which has never been invoked despite the threat of it being used right after being created. [/NAE]

[Taylor]

Everything is Made in China.
Everything. Everywhere.
But the one homegrown creation,
Is getting shipped directly there.

[Billfred]

(obviously not an entry)

Eric pretty much has it, given this snippet:

If I'm coming home through a poor cell signal area to get to my laptop and thus the means to judge, that's still working. But if I blow it off all the way to Tuesday, there had better be a top-notch reason. Even I have my limits.

[Jay O'Donnell]

Reverse Outsourcing- The US sending our engineers overseas instead of getting products from overseas.

[Tom Ore]

"Are you sure this is how David Copperfield got started?"

[Bruce Newendorp]

I wonder if caption #521 and caption #434 are a FIRST?

And for bonus points:
We will see what we can post in time for 4 captions from now.

[Jim Wilks]

Some may recall contests to see how many people could fit into a phone booth, etc. Here's the FIRST reincarnation of that effort -- How many mentors can you fit into a shipping crate? Although just Bruce is visible here, 3 other mentors are already in the crate.

Why fasten your box together with screws or bolts when you can use clamps? They're cheaper, smaller and don't come apart nearly as easily!

Let the record reflect that I started this at 11:57 PM on Monday night. Aside from a condo board meeting and my side business eating up a chunk of my evening, I had to make a fresh spreadsheet for the new year!

First place goes to:
