Write a caption, win a prize
[THANK YOU, WE HAVE A WINNER. THIS CONTEST IS NOW CLOSED]
“And the award for ‘Most ironic t-shirt ever’ goes to…”.
Think you’re funny enough to be the next Margaret Cho? Well, now’s your chance to prove it to the world. Write your best caption for the above photo of Greg Packer, everyone’s favorite professional line sitter 
taken at Apple’s NYC Cube during (well, 100 hours before, actually) the iPhone’s launch last year. If we think it’s the most clever, we’ll send you off a $20 iTunes gift certificate.
The contest is open to everyone in the US (sorry, iTunes won’t let us buy gift certificates to non-US accounts), and runs until Thursday (Feb 21st) at 9PM EST. You can enter more than once if you are feeling “Carrot Top“-prolific. Good luck.
(Oh, and be sure to put in your e-mail, or else we won’t be able to contact you).

[AND THE WINNER IS… The D WITH “You’re laughing now, but just wait two months when these are impossible to find and you can’t get your hands on one of these for only $599 like I’m about to pay. Then let’s see who’s laughing…” Nice one, The D! (Did anyone ever hear if Greg actually bought one?). You’re gift certificate is on it’s way!
Boy, you guys love working “blue”, eh? I’ll keep that in mind.
🙂

iFarted he he!
No, really. That buldge in my pants IS my Depends undergarment. I can drink, eat anything and never leave my place in line.
I’m just waiting for Apple to release Pie.
Waiting in line is the first customer to try the new Apple Nano Diet.. unfortunately it will not be released for some time in the future.. apple is shooting for a release date on “Fat Tuesday”.
iStink
After several attempts from Apple to create the lighter, and amazingly thin Greg Packer Air. Steve jobs has officially called the project a failure.
“Waiting in line for me is no sweat…, well actually it’s alot of sweating to be honest..”
If he just ate an apple instead of waiting in line for one I wouldn’t be blind today.
If only they were tipped off by his last name, the fudge factory would’ve never hired him.
I don’t understand why displaying the number of pounds I weigh on my shirt won’t get me laid!!
There’s only one marble in the photo and it ain’t in the background!
An absolute testament to the true strength of fabric folding chairs.
Apple: Sir, I think you misunderstood, we said we needed lots of Momentum, not Omentum!
Steve: The new Apple Fresh! Isn’t it just Gorgeous?
A younger and healthier Phil Margera.
It’s the iMangina!
Diets that don’t work: The Poland Springs Diet.
I ate through “fresh 1-1026” to get here.
“Hey, Hey, Hey…”
“And the winner of the New Windows Vista mascot is……”
“You can go ahead… I’m in line for the tablet.”
I can’t believe I forgot my wallet… What am I going to do? Damn all these people and their fancy pockets!
“No, the towels are for comfort… it’s got nothing to do with their intended purpose…”
“Yeah, it’ll be nice to have a device that will keep me in touch when I’m ‘on-the-go’ as part of my busy lifestyle, you know? …what’s so funny?”
“The city and I have an arrangement… they let me set up base camp early, and I keep the tides in check.”
LEGAL NOTICE:
Poland Spring hereby demands that all copies of the internet be deleted immediately.
This isn’t a caption:
I feel bad; I didn’t want to go for the weight jokes since they seem like cheap and easy shots, but I folded in the end. Sorry, Greg.
Sit! Stay! Male, housebroken, needs a good home.
“Is she looking at me she is not, If i only had the iphone she would”
“Jenny Craig told me to try an all Apple diet!”
Packer’s packing more than a peck of pickled peppers in his putrid pants.
Ever get that not-so-fresh feeling?
Single, and built to stay that way.
Hey! That guy ate Steve Jobs!
Oops, I crapped my pants!
I’m not just a member of the Hair Club for Men …
Why is Greg smiling? His Manzier gives him all-day support.
Water, 2 dollars. Chair, 28 dollars. Stained, tight, smelly t-shirt? Priceless.
Unbeknownst to Greg, the iPhones sold out last week.
He’s so large, he can’t even jump to a conclusion.
The “before” in every before-and-after photo shoot.
No, really, how did you know I was a Trekkie?
“Don’t yah wish your girlfriend was HOT like me!”
“Lookin good Jobs!”
“Oh Yah, check out the buns on that one………”
“You’re laughing now, but just wait two months when these are impossible to find and you can’t get your hands on one of these for only $599 like I’m about to pay. Then let’s see who’s laughing…”
“Yeah, the doors opened 2 hours ago, but I forgot to factor entropy into my plans. I’ll see you in there next Thursday.”
“I like to think that I inspire people to pull up a chair, sit down and follow their dreams, you know? I’m kinda like the Richard Simmons of the sedentary.”
“If one more bus driver stops and lowers the ramp for me while I’m here, I’m going to ask someone to go complain for me.”
