Caption Contest: Happy Birthday, Steve Ballmer!

by - source: Tom's Hardware US

We haven't done a Steve Ballmer caption contest yet, but it was his birthday yesterday so we figure it's high time we show the CEO of Microsoft a little love.

I tried to find a picture of Steve with a cake or a birthday hat, you know, because it's his birthday and all. Unfortunately the closest thing I could get was Bill Gates covered in pie, so I settled for just Steve looking really, really happy. This is the happiest picture I could find. Caption away, my little darlings!

Here are the top ten from last week's post:

provolone:

Schmidt: "On display today is Mr. Jobs! Who somehow has managed to make millions and millions of dollars all while wearing the same set of clothes for the past 5 years. It's just incredible!"

kin3000:

Eric: " And here to my right, we have the devil himself. Because only the devil can convince so many people to buy overpriced hardware with heavily limited OSes."

Steve: "Awww, why thank you Eric. It's funny how many people don't notice my logo is actually the forbidden fruit from the Garden of Eve."

back_by_demand:

Steve - "You aren't still upset about being booted from the Apple board are you?"

Eric - "Not really, in fact I'm in such a good mood I just told all of China that their leaders murdered protestors 21 years ago in Tiananmen Square"

Abrahm:

Eric: I hold in my hands every innovation Apple has made over the last 10 years!

Steve: There's a truck out back filled with the patents for all of that innovation!

aethm:

Eric: How about a Hug?

Jobs: Let me patent myself first...

the_dave:

Steve: I am a mac

Eric: I am an Android.

axilon:

Eric: "Why hello Steve, lets be friends!"

Steve: "Do Not Want!"

vic20:

Eric - "Ladies and gentleman! I give you the visionary of 'magical' devices, such as the iPad, Mr. Steve Jobs! I believe he is the only man who has surpassed the great David Copperfield in Magic and Illusion!"

Steve - "Why Thank you Eric...hey! Wait a minute..."

I did check, 6 people posted in the UK comments last time, none of them are shown above.

Hey, I do read! All six comments on the UK version were still rated at zero.

Guy in the middle: This tiny device passes high voltage electricity though the users face, causing all their facial muscles to tense, and an extremely ecstatic expression to manifest on their face. They are actually in enormous amounts of pain.

Ballmer: ...elp...eee...

Including mine which was obviously far superior too all of the US ones!
But the sad truth is that none of them give a flying fuck about the UK section.
Feel free to prove me wrong, editors.

What do you expect, most of your reader aren't from the UK and they have there own comments section and so can't vote on ours. :P

"Join me and together we can exploit consumers idiocy to an entirely new level!"

Sorry, no matter how superior you think it is, it was still rated at zero.

UK readers can vote and comment on both the UK and US. My own account was registered through .co.uk and I comment on both all the time. :)

I wasnt being completely serious about my comment being any good, but I was being utterly honest about you guys not caring about the UK section.
Most of the time I fail to even see the point in having a seperate section for us when we have no unique content.
This would be using the constant barrage of US only offers and competitions as a reference.
