Caption contest for Dec. 5
Technically, this qualifies as a warm and fuzzy picture, although you might not want this guy* keeping your feet warm at night.
Assuming you’re not too freaked out, email your funniest caption to starfyi@gmail.com. Put “12/5 caption contest” in the subject line, and include your name, city and phone number.
Deadline for entries is 11:59 tonight.
The winning caption scores a $25 gift card. The winner and runners-up will appear here next Friday.
(* It’s not a rat, although as always we urge you not to let facts get in the way of a good caption.)
