[ Next | Previous ]

The winning entry was submitted by Josh Byra. It was:

"As I looked back on the tech support crew, my eyes glistened with tears as I thought of all the great times we'd had. I sniffed and gave Dennis the thumbs up, empowered by my bag of chips. Then, I turned swiftly on my heel and began my long pilgrimage... to the bathroom."

Some of the others (in no particular order):

  1. Got Milk? (Paul Thompson)
  2. 3D Realms proves that taking pictures about nothing can cause a frantic following by its loyal fans, who willingly spend thousands of hours writing e-mail despite the inevitable lack of recognition they will receive for their efforts. (Marshall Hay) (Your name is here, Marshall :)
  3. Dennis and Bryan give Brett's butt 2 thumbs up. (Eric & Amy Roberts)
  4. "Boss Alert! Scott is heading this way. Close the spreadsheet and boot a game!" (Stephane Edwardson)
  5. Brett tries to remember where he put his chips while Bryan "The Dorito Burglar" Turner and his partner Dennis "Headroom" Desmeth make off with the loot. (Charles Cox)
  6. Bryan gives Dennis a thumbs up for coming to work there instead of working at the airport as a Hare Krishna. (Rick Nesset)
  7. "No, no, Bryan...I'm sure they said to install MEMORY chips...not POTATO chips. Oh, damn those mail-order technical school courses, anyway!" (Lorraine Verboot)

And, an Honorable Mention:

Picture Puzzle: If you can spot the 3 differences between this picture and last week's picture, you could win some fabulous prizes. Bonus: spot someone doing actual work and double your prize! (Al Hunt)

In reality, this is L-R: Brett Young (back to camera), Dennis Desmeth, & Bryan Turner in the Tech Support Room.
