Feeling rather uninspired to come up with anything particularly compelling to share for the last couple of days, I’m turning to you, our subscribers to help me out. I received this picture from my partner Phil yesterday. He’s taking a (very well deserved) vacation in his native New England. I tried like hell to come up with a witty caption for this picture (something to do with start-ups) but alas I’ve come up empty. So in the spirit of the last page of the New Yorker magazine, I’m searching for the best caption to capture this moment and hang in Phil’s office upon his return. Leave your suggestion in the comment section below. Glenn, George and I will pick the winner. First place will get some fat Highway 12 swag and props on Twitter.

No matter how big you think you are…it can happen to you.
Plan, Prepare, Execute, and Adjust to keep your 'Moose' safe.
When it comes to your business, don't be a Moose. Look both ways before crossing.
a wry smile, but stick to Ops Mike, a comedian you’re not
Sure hope Web 3.0 has fewer crashes
like it!
So, don't drink and drive a moose!
now that's an interesting picture!
One more reason to PUT THE CELL PHONE DOWN and pilot your vehicle!
so serious David, we're looking for humor here!
Yah, sorry…wrote that just after driving into work and having to deal with some goofballs on he road.
How 'bout: "We ain't in Kansas anymore, Dorothy!"
or: "It was right after we took this picture that our Honda Civic turned itself around and peeled out heading south with its engine screaming like a little girl."
or: Motorcyclist says to himself: "you've *got* to be kidding me."
How about "don' t ignore the signs along the road" In a business context ignoring the "signs" along the journey to build a successful company may cause to miss an opportunity or a threat.
Highway 12: Where all the women are strong, all the men are good-looking, and all the moose are freakin' HUGE!
spoken like the true outdoorsman that you are Tim!
Don't be a Moose
don't quit your day job Mike…
reminds me of a classic book: "Antlers stuck in a tree" by Whogoosed Damoose
not a great caption but certainly witty Brian!
Got that from my Dad. He had a ton of silly fake book puns like that. I'll try and think up an actual caption.
Danger: Loose Moose
or
Danger: Stuck Antlers Suck
you can be more creative Courtney
Moments after this photo was taken, Phil heard the unmistakable, gruesome sound of two moose colliding head-on at 50 mph. Phil then was heard to exclaim "Moose steaks for dinner honey!"
Brian, your Ignite Boise presentation was infinitely funnier than your captions
Sometimes, what's to the right of the decimal point really is relevant (of course, this isn't one of those times…)
Not bad! (The Russian judge gives it an 8.1)
CAN I HAZ MOOZEBURGRZ?
Having recently watched Steve Martin's version of the Pink Panther with my kids, that's actually pretty damn funny! Unfortunately, if you haven't seen it, it sounds like you're talking with marbles in your mouth…
This one is the funniest!! You win Brian! H12: check out http://icanhascheezburger.com/
After the next 3.0 miles, moose crashes only random.
they're getting better. afternoon coffee must be kicking in…
High availability Moose run and crash rate unless you upgrade Miles to version 3.0
not bad…
How about this for a caption "Phil you are on vacation put on some fucking jeans and a t-shirt"
everyone's playing for second place now. how do i clean the iced coffee off my keyboard?
LOL! I wish I had a vote.
OK, I hadn't read Pete's yet. Yes, clearly the winner. More H12 swag to Pete….
another reason moose shouldn't be given driver's licenses. or the vote.
Phil Reed proudly reports for the first day at his new job as a moose crossing guard.
don't give up the day job Tim…
Cross the line, Moose wins
a stern warning for sure!
Just because many others crash, doesn't mean you should too.
Or more positively said,
Be in the minority, succeed at the road ahead.
or as my father used to say, "if johnny jumped off the empire state building, would you do it too"?
Don't follow the herd.
I was waiting for that one!
Phil researches the viability of his "moose insurance" concept. Thus far, the angel investors are lukewarm to the idea.
Who really knows what's ahead… you've chosen this road, so keep on goin', but keep yer eyes open.
Lexus Nexus Alces?
Loosie Moosie-don't Goosie your Caboosie
Since we don't have elephants in the Intermountain West… "Pay attention to the Moose in the room".
I am surprised at how often VC-led boards in general avoid dealing with tough management issues head on. This could serve as a simple reminder hanging in your offices.
