The winning entry was submitted by Jason Whited. It was:

Xenophage didn't raise quite enough eyebrows among our nation's Senators. Trash it.

Some of the others (in no particular order):

  1. Sorry but uninstalling wasn't enough. (Gerald Lee)
  2. 3D Realms isn't very smart when it comes to disposing of broken products. Trash is not the place... Xenophage must be exorcised. (Cameron Orr)
  3. "Early product placement for Xenophage." (Tom Sweeney)
  4. "You should have seen what they did with the Daikatana box." (Ryan Raner)
  5. The short-lived results of 3D Realms "Buy Xenophage, and get a free SVGA Monitor" promotion after president Scott Miller is told the shipping costs. The guy who purchased 1,000 monitors without checking was promptly fired! (Don Chin)
  6. Apogee's XENOPHAGE - the fighting game at the top of the heap! (Doug Howell)
  7. Today, we bid farewell to a trusted monitor. Sadly, it came in contact with this copy of Xenophage. Suddenly, the colors were all wrong, and a strange whine emanated from the screen. Yes, little monitor, you shall be missed. (John Wetzler)
  8. Apparently no one has shown newbie John Pollard the proper way to smuggle office supplies. (Humberto Yeverino)
  9. "Recent studies at 3d Realms have identified the most efficient way to piss off the janitorial staff." (Mike Guay)
  10. Marcel Duchamp's "Monitor with Xenophage Box," on loan to 3D Realms from the Museum of Contemporary Art's Dadaism collection (Scott Pakin)
  11. The portal to the parallel DOS universe only stays open for 6.22 minutes at time. The Xenophage box fights his programmed fatigue to jump in and save his life. Into this strange new world where trash cans don't have pony tails. (Frank DeCandia)
  12. "Xenophage. It really kicks the monitor's ass." (Andrew Hostetler)

In reality, this is a monitor that had gotten thrown in the trash with a Xenophage box on top of it.
