SparkFun will be closed on Tuesday, November 5th to support our team in being able to go out and vote! Orders placed after 2 pm MT Monday, November 4th will ship on Wednesday, November 6th. Thanks for your patience and understanding.
Hello! Here we are, closing in on the last month of the year, and what better way to usher in December than with some crowdsourced humor? If this isn’t your first caption rodeo you know the rules, but here they are again:
- Leave your funniest clean caption to the photo in the comments section below. We reserve the right to delete captions that we deem inappropriate. We’re not too stingy, but try to keep it moderately PG-13.
- Captions submitted any other way besides in the comment section will not be accepted! That means do not use the feedback form, though you may really, really want to.
- Captions will be accepted from the moment this post goes live until Friday, November 20 at 10 a.m. Mountain Time.
- A crack team of humor experts will pick the winner and we will announce it shortly thereafter.
The winner of this month's caption crown will take home a new SAMD21 Dev Breakout AND the SAMD21 Mini Breakout! Without further ado:
Aaaaaaand GO!

Hello HR, he's standing on his desk again.
"Oh caption, my caption!" - I had to do the punny version
"Look, Simba. Everything the light touches is SparkFun"
"And now for something completely different"
"Pete" and "seat", despite rhyming, rarely go together.
Oh cool, Sparkfun hired Simon Pegg.
I will do it in my vest, and I will do it on a desk. I will do it under lights, and I will do it in my tights. I do so like being a photo ham. I do like it Pete I am.
