Are you ready for another giveaway? This one should be pretty fun. All you have to do is think of a caption to go along with our tenth anniversary picture, above. We’re going to choose our favorite 10 captions as the winners, so be sure to put on your thinking cap and get creative! The winners will get an Ilium Software swag pack – 2 click-pen styluses, one stick stylus, and one luggage tag. Again, make sure you enter a valid email address when you comment, so I will be able to contact you if you win.
Because of different time zones, I want to make sure you guys get enough time to see this and play along, so I’ll let this run for a whole day before we start the judging. You’ll have until 2 p.m. EST on Wednesday to submit your caption. You can submit more than one caption, but each person can only win once. We’ll announce the winners on the blog as soon as we’ve chosen them.
One more thing…there is still one party hat on our site unaccounted for, from our scavenger hunt yesterday. Read the blog post about that contest to find out more.
It was a banner day at the Ilium Home for Wayward Programmers.
Just kidding,
Congrats on 10 years.

[From off camera] “You over there – GET OFF OUR LAWN!”
“At midday the patients are allowed some outside time to exhibit their craft projects”
photographer to armed guy: “Seriously, this doesn’t look natural, look at them. Their smiles, they just don’t look real.”
armed guy “well, the gun was the only reason why they “agreed” to let you take a picture in the first place …”
—
“Alright people, let’s move it, I think I tripped the wire and … oh no. Are those dogs I’m hearing?”
“Julie, Mark, Lee and Dan tried to organize a Limbo dance contest, but without much luck”
1 great company, 9 party hats, and 13 stars !!!

See I told you..We couldn’t get jobs at Jack in the Box, but the hats came in handy anyway!
Marc [Through gritted teeth]: “Do you think any of the readers will care that NONE of us has a PDA on our hips or in our hands?”
Ellen [Also through gritted teeth]: “Shut up and hold the paper sign. We can always claim *our* gadgets are so advanced that they’re invisible to the naked eye.”
Hats off to the people with the hats on! Congratulations on 10 years!

Having forgotten the cake, table, chairs, chips and dips it occurs to certain members of the Ilium team that perhaps a *list* would have improved the celebrations.
Okay, it’s actually a little bit past 2 p.m. now, so I’m closing the contest! If you guys want to keep posting here to pick on us
go ahead, but we’re going to start choosing our 10 favorite captions based on all the comments above this one.
Thanks for playing!!
