caption contest, superhero with phone car

It may be late on Monday, but you will get your weekly caption contest!   (Well, technically, there’s no guarantee, but I’ll at least make an effort.)   🙂  That said, here ya go.

This week’s photo is of a man in a superhero-type costume who is standing next to a car shaped like a giant phone.  I have no idea of the actual context of this picture, but that’s no matter — we will make up something.   I suspect there will be a lot of ideas for this one, including some puns (which may be unfortunate, depending on your preferences).  So let’s get to it!

the fun work atmosphere at Google

What is cubicle life like working at Google?  Apparently not too bad.  Check out this photo gallery for an idea of how it’s very different from your normal tech company.

It says they get three free gourmet meals per day.  And they have pool tables, swimming pools, and you can even get massages.  I’m thinking they should open an office in Arkansas…  🙂

If Buffet o’ Blog ever has corporate offices, it would be like that, but even better!  We’d have unlimited sweet tea for employees, fun breakout sessions for generating new humor and research ideas, ample breaks, Bacon Mondays (where people bring a bacon dish to share with everyone, to make the day better), and extra compensation would be based on creating new, original humor.  (It sounds strange to pay people more for being funny, but that’s what we do here — generate humor.   It’s a great job — well, if only it paid enough for me to be full-time!)

flash game — Stunt Pilot 2

I wasn’t out looking for new flash games, but I recently came across a link to one that sounded cool, and it’s fun.  It’s called Stunt Pilot 2, and you have to pilot a plane through various stunt courses.   There are bonuses, and sometimes the environment changes on you.  The graphics are pretty sharp for a flash game, too.  And while the flying is fun and challenging, the best part are the crashes.  There’s even a “destruction bonus” if you crash in a big way.  🙂  And sometimes the people on the ground react to your crashes and destruction, which can be interesting.

There is also the element of achieving a high score, with various methods for achieving high scores.

caption contest, Darth Vader in a race car

Would it be a Monday without a caption contest here?  Well, unfortunately, it would be.  Mondays are inevitable, I’m afraid.   (Although, if you could find a way to make Monday part of the weekend, you’d be famous forever!  You’d be considered a hero!)   Anyway, I digress.  It’s a Monday, which is most everyone’s least favorite day, and that’s why we put the weekly caption contest on a Monday — to make it better.  So here goes.

This week’s caption contest features the infamous Darth Vader in a race car.  I don’t remember this from any of the movies…  So it’s up to you to figure out what might be the explanation behind this.
