Posted by Tim Moynihan | Monday, June 16, 2008 4:15 PM PT

Update 6/16: The moment you've been waiting for has finally arrived. Oh yes, we've picked a winner for the latest installment of Caption Crunch, our every-other-week caption contest where we supply the photo and you supply the laughs.

Last week, we posted this image of a confusing scenario at this year's Computex trade show in Taipei, Taiwan, and asked you to supply your best crack at a caption.

Hey Yoshi, they're handing out long lasting Chicklets at Thermaltake! -- Patiohauler

Congratulations to Patiohauler, who writes great captions when not hauling patios. Nice work, Patiohauler. Unfortunately, we don't have a prize for you beyond bragging rights, a warm, fuzzy feeling, and endless kudos.

Thanks to everyone who participated in this week's Caption Crunch, and tune in this Friday for a brand-new installment.

What follows is the original text for this installment.

Welcome to the latest installment of Caption Crunch, our recurring caption contest. We supply the photo, and you supply the caption... ideally, with hilarious results.

Senior associate editor Danny Allen just returned from the Computex trade show in Taipei, Taiwan, and he came back with a memory card full of photos. Take the picture below, for example, in which what looks like four bipedal marshmallows are wandering around the show floor.

    These students are modeling their new backpacks which double as air bags for the school bus. They can also be used as flotation devices in case of plane or boat crashes.
