Write a caption, win a prize

[THANK YOU, WE HAVE A WINNER. THIS CONTEST IS NOW CLOSED]

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. 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 Tuesday (March 18th) 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… Belasco WITH “That big? That’s the last time I delete my spam folder without checking it.” Nice one, Belasco! And good advice! You’re gift certificate is on its way!

    Insanely Great Meets Greatly Insane

  27. Raggi says:

    Steve: “Listen, it’s pretty easy. Go to File > Import Mailboxes, then Import data from Microsoft Entourage…”
    Bill: “God sake. So easy!”

  28. The D says:

    Steve: …so, yeah, I could kill you in 9 moves.

    Bill: All I need is five.

  29. The D says:

    Steve: There we have it: I beat you by four.

    Steve: We’d better wait for Parking Lot SP7 so we know that will work, then.
    Bill: “I summon Cyber Dragon!”
    Steve: You’re an idiot.

  33. Wil Limoges says:

    Steve: God your eyes are so beautiful!

    Alternate of above:

    Steve: …about this big.
    Bill: Hmm… I’d say this big… My other hand is in Chicago.
    Steve: You call your underwear “Chicago”?
    Bill: That’s it. I’m buying the parking lot, then kicking your ass in it.

    Steve: You’re an idiot.

  39. Mike says:

    Steve: Ok, you put a crap load of cash into HDdvd, but never use it for anything useful. I’ll say we “support” Blu-ray but still only use super drives, and when Sony “wins” that’s when I pull out the “Oh, and one more thing” and drop HD rental prices to .99¢ and you know, copy us with your little live stuff.

    Bill: Well, ok but only if you stop making fun of Vista,. It’s a good upgrade to XP.

    Steve: No, no, I don’t think so Bill.

    Bill: … Ok.

  42. Evan Lugh says:

    Bill: nom nom nom invisible cheezburger
    Steve: “Beat my i*Bucket”
    *-invisible..

  43. pace says:

    Remember Bill Gates on Family Guy? Here is the proposed caption:

    SJ: Wait, so we could really buy everyone in this room?

    BG: Exactly! Don’t even think of them as people. They’re ants Steve-O, they… are… ants.

  44. Dataplume says:

    Steve: So I’m driving down this really narrow road on my way home from a keynote and all of a sudden this really hot, crazed, naked chick jumps out in front of my ride holding an iPod over her head screaming “I love you Steve!”

    Bill: Wow that never happens to me!

  45. Wil Limoges says:

    Steve: PAPER FOOTBALL GOAL!

    Steve: I’m say’n!

  48. kid.e says:

    No sh*t Steve, there I was, an Altair and two chicks, and Ballmer wouldn’t leave me alone!

  49. Robert says:

    Steve: Can I have a kiss?

    Bill: How many times do I have to tell you Steve, we are not teenagers anymore. I was drunk and had spent all night programing when it happened. No more kisses.

    Steve: Lets make history together…

  50. mathison5 says:

    Steve: And it just hit the water like Boom!

    Bill: Sorry to interrupt, but can I just say how nice it is after all we’ve been through we can still just sit down over a nice dinner and discuss our favorite bowel movements! Seriously, man… good times!
