Update 5/1: Your captions came in fast and furious this week, which could be yet another reason why Greg Adler is wearing a helmet.
It was particularly hard to pick a winning caption this week, but we've huddled up and made it happen.
(Parks bike) "I hope no one noticed me coming in to work late..." -- chosendragon
Congrats to chosendragon, who is coincidentally our chosenwinner of the week. And that's nice, because chosendragon is a big-time Caption Crunch regular (yes, chosendragon, we've been watching you.)
Because the caption submissions were so ample this past week, we've also picked some honorable mentions from the pack. And a big loser.
