Caption Contest #78 - Ends Wednesday 11.21.12 At 9PM EST
Monday, November 19, 2012 at 08:40AM 
Between more everyday construction-related work for me lately and my ongoing struggle with some pretty serious sciatic nerve pain, it's been a challenge keeping AirPigz fresh and moving in the right direction... tho I have been fortunate to have stayed out front on several great aviation stories in the last 6 weeks and traffic here at the pig has been rather fantastic! I'm running at the highest 'non-spike' average ever, and more people seem to be finding out about my effort to achieve Avgeek World Domination : )
But I don't get there without you coming right along with me. And again today you get the chance to be an active part of the fun. Even better, if you submit the winning caption you'll snag a bacon sandwich at Oshkosh 2013) in the official AirPigz Caption Contest.
So here's the deal... you've got til Wednesday evening at 9pm EST to submit your clever/funny/cool captions. Then, I’ll pick the best 5 and put ’em in a poll for everyone to vote on for all day Thursday and Friday so we can find the winner.
The Rules:
1) Max of 3 submissions per person
2) Submissions go in the 'comments' area
3) Game ends Wednesday at 9pm EST
4) Keep it clean!
Then, anyone can cast their vote starting Thursday morning and running thru til 9pm EST Friday. The winner will be posted Saturday morning 11-24-12. And remember, any landing you can walk away from is a good one!
