Too Geeky for the New Yorker?

You’ve tried and tried, but the voters over at the New Yorker’s monthly caption contest just don’t get your humor. Lucky for you, the Mac|Life staff is much, much geekier. Not to mention that it’s a lot easier to make us laugh—have you heard the Mac|Life podcast (www.maclife.com/podcast)? So get to work on your greatest one-liner, because we’re looking for the cleverest, snarkiest, or simply the most belly-laugh-inducing caption for this picture. Extra points if you make us shoot Fresca through our noses!

Include your full name, email and mailing addresses, and phone number with your entry. Send your caption in the body of an email (no attachments, please) to contest@maclife.com with the subject line “Say What? Challenge.” Deadline for entry: December 31, 2008.
