    "I found the anykey"
  • I wish I could find a word whose anagram on swapping letters "A" "D" and "Q" produced somthing very funny... that could have been the most funny caption for the pic.
  • " Hit the right button "
  • Belva McKann
    First thing I noticed were the scrambled letters/keys. What kind of keyboard IS it?
  • Bradley Hofbauer
    "So, after this you guys wanna head down to the Space-Bar?"
  • D.L. Messer
    What kind of keyboard is this? At least Q, A, W in the wrong spots.
  • Gwen's entry is a winner but the fella from writer's 'ell should get a definite runner up.
    Great fun Mike. Let's set another writer's group play date soon. You certainly kept me coming back to see what other clever quips developed.
  • Nice job Gwen!! I agree Graham, a great way to get the creative juices flowing...
  • Congrats Gwen -- you're truly a writer among writers!

    And hey Mike, that was fun -- how 'bout more of those in the future?!

  • What a terrific surprise this morning to receive an email announcing I won.

    Thank you!
  • Congratulations to Gwen from the Real World is Messy!

    Your winning caption: I didn’t expect this kind of community service work when they asked if we had ‘familiarity with a keyboard…’
  • Folks - Check back tomorrow morning (Friday) to learn who the winner is.

    Great effort everyone!

    Mike

    Don't push the Deadlines.
  • "C'mon guys! The key is to get it done right down to the letter!"
  • Traffic Backed Up Due To Road Works
    The Information Superhighway went from "delight" to "e-light" earlier this morning as road crews scrambled to replace a missing 'd'. Those most affected were post-holiday bargain hunters who tried to get onto the Dell site, but ended up in 'ell. As one passer-by noted, this may have actually helped prospective customers since they were able to enter 'ell *without* having to spend hundreds of dollars first...
  • Coffee spill. Duh, duh, duh!
  • Joy
    It's time to hit the keyboard!
  • Catherine Wallace

  • "Our job has been a lot easier since the Writer's Strike."

    :)
  • Well I look at it this way, at least we the view is different. Since Bob read Writing White Papers, we haven't had to work on the letter "I."
  • "Unearth the Key to writing killer captions"
  • Here's a shot -

    "Stelzner get's all the credit, while we do all the work!"
  • "Some writers do all the work, while others merely sit around and take the credit."
  • How about: writing is a block?
  • After reading Zen and the Art of Keyboard Maintenance, Michael called in Captain Disassemble and his crew from Logitek's RAMS to the Rescue.
  • "Think Big About the Little Guy: Does Your Writing Reach the Common Folk?"

    And just for fun...

    "Third one this week! If Gulliver doesn't ease up on the keyboard, I vote we tie him up again."

    "I know Mike's a writer and all, but I still say it's an odd design for patio tile."
  • I didn't expect this kind of community service work when they asked if we had 'familiarity with a keyboard...'
  • There's nothing here. This is fool's gold.

    Let's hurry, we've still got the rest of the alphabet.

    D-oh!
  • Tricia Grissom
    Dammit. I hate the ones with Cheeto crumbs. They always turn me orange.
  • Originally we linked to a different picture of a goldfish and somehow the image that ended up showing was an obscene one. We changed things rather quickly.
  • Hi Mike, i just dropped you an e-mail. Please check the picture through this feed asap - it comes out very different.
  • "Its a ell" !
  • The training manual said to hit "any" key, not "pick" a key!
  • Teresa
    "Man, I knew this copywriter has a big ego, but this is really ridiculous!"
  • Pick a letter, any letter ...

    There's no rush, Fred; we're on double time!

    Hacking into this computer is harder than I thought.
  • Are your working hard or hardly working on your writing?

    Are you too close to your writing?

    Who has the best perspective on this problem? The one doing the work? The one closely watching? The "back seat digger"?
    (Hint: It's none of them. It's YOU!)

    Are you too busy banging the keys to notice what is wrong?

    A: "Didn't our customer order a train platform?"
    B: "Yes, but this e-commerce platform is too great to pass up."
    C: "Less talking and more working! We're almost done and ahead of schedule!"

    Can't see the keyboard for the keys?

    Welcome to the information economy.

    This website under construction.

    This website under destruction.

    This may be why your outsourced jobs are so expensive.

    Construction ahead on the Information Super Highway.

    Are your internationalization efforts still a bit rough?

    Is your online goldmine more like a dry well?

    Have you discovered the treasure in *your* keyboard?

    Is your boss still breathing down your neck when you telecommute?

    Do you have the right tools for the information age?

    This ain't your father's data mining.

    Are your offline marketing tactics a bust online?
  • Stan Peters
    Is your writing clogged up?
  • Let me at it.
