May 2012 Caption Contest: Elvis

Naomi Price

5/3/2012 12:22 PM EDT

UPDATE: WE HAVE A WINNER.

 

“Some people tap their feet, some people snap their fingers, and some people sway back and forth. I just sorta do 'em all together, I guess.”

-Elvis in 1956

The King is in the lab, folks, and we're all shook up! This is the chance to let your Elvis fan (or not) flag fly ... can't wait to see the captions for this month's cartoon!

So add your Elvis wit in the comments field below. We'll put 'em to a vote and the end of May and Daniel will make a color cartoon for the winner with the triumphant caption in place.

We've got Labview ELVIS running and he's claiming copyright infringement...

(National Instruments has an "Educational Laboratory Virtual Instrument Suite" - ELVIS)

He is trying to draw attention away from his itty bitty right leg. Or was it his enormous left leg.

Halfway through singing "A Fool Such As I", at the Kamakaze Karaoke Bar, Rodger realized he had forgotten to hit the enter key and resume the automated test.
