What a way to end a week. Hurteau and I, slammed both with magazine stuff and another book we're co-authoring, have been a little stressed of late. But thanks to you all, we ended a hectic week on a great note. While we always get a bang from reading the entries to these caption contests, this was the best showing yet. So good, in fact, that just narrowing the captions down 10 finalists—not to mention picking a winner—was an exceedingly tough chore. Thankfully it was one we could laugh our way through.

Alas, we could choose only one winner, and that person will take home a great Oculus Pro-Team binocular , courtesy of the good folks at Bass Pro Shops .
First, here our 10 runners-up, in no particular order:

Does wearing these shooting glasses here in the office make me look creepy? —BHarlan
