So, Tamara and I have been thinking about doing a caption contest for a while now, and it seems that all the stars have aligned and the time is right.  We have a fun concept, a great picture, and a really, really cool prize.  Now all we need are your entries.

The contest is to caption the above photo of this fellow we’re going to call Freelance Cat.  You can do the whole lolcats thing, or you can just demonstrate your own sparkling wit for our amusement.  You may enter as many times as you’d like, but please make each entry a separate comment so we can keep them straight.  The contest is open until 11:59 p.m. (Pacific) on Sunday, April 5th.  Once all entries have been received, an unbiased panel of guest judges (who happen to be freelancers) will be brought in to determine the winning entry.

Here’s the deal, though.  You have to make sure we can contact you if you win.  Throw us a bone, people.  Give us an email address or a link to your blog with a contact page or something.  If you win and we cannot contact you and get a response within a week, we’re just gonna pick a new winner.  Got it?

So, what do you win?  Well, it’s something that several of you have already mentioned you’d really like to own.  See those awesome punctuation marks hanging on the wall above my desk?  It turns out that we have an extra set of these three.  You want ‘em, you gotta earn ‘em!

Just what is going on in Freelance Cat’s mind?  Let’s find out what you think.

(Oh, and you are definitely encoraged to Tweet, Facebook, and blog about the contest!  Tell us how you spread the word, and there may be an extra prize in it for you…)

Kitty caller:
Hey Freelance Cat wanna meet up for some “kitten” kaboodle later?

Freelance Cat:
Baby I wish I could but I am buried with work and I am trying to claw my way out! Scratch you later.

I know that mouse is around here somewhere!

I really should get some writing done but I’ve got too much on my mind right now!

I’m working on my new book “Adaptation; Life Without My Electric Blanket”

“Must..not… be.. sucked in by technology…

NOoooo..! ”

(reference to how technology is becoming ever more potent in today’s society and how some people rely so much on this to get by that it takes over their lives ! )

or just that that is a well lazy cat.
