Caption Contest: Naked man who is also a computer; eye bleach not included
We really don't know what to say. We're sorry? That just doesn't seem to cut it. Maybe these captions will bring a small semblance of comprehension to this screwed-up reality we now find ourselves in. Please add your own in the comments, we can get through this together.
Josh: "The Robocop program had seen drastic budget cuts in recent years."
Chris: "iFixIt's teardown of ASIMO revealed what many had suspected all along: it's just a naked white dude with a motherboard duct taped to him." and "Please don't play Crysis - the GPU is like RIGHT on my nipple."
Joe: "Mobile computing means different things to different people."
Paul: "There are lots of great ways to stay warm this winter. This one is lame."
Richard: "Unfortunately, Jim slightly misread the TSA's new less-annoying laptop bag rules."
Darren: "Um, no -- those aren't mathematical equations written on my bedroom wall..."
Laura: "Gaultier proves, once again, that pants are extraneous."
Don: "Hello, Starbucks? Do you let folks use your power outlets? Great."
Nilay: "It's the liquid-cooling system I'm most proud of."
Thomas: "Hey ladies, watch what happens when I hit the defrag button."
["Thanks," sgt_easton]

Your post proves you should try to stick to one joke at the time. Usually the best one.

BUT CAN HE RUN CRYSIS??????
In fact...can he RUN at all?
Blaine Oliver @ Oct 28th 2008 4:42PM
Will he blend and can he play with himself (or crysis)
Flashpoint @ Oct 28th 2008 4:54PM
I just feel bad for him.
Judging from the height of that window, he's in his parent's basement. The blanket on the window is probably his version of "insulation" and his bed is right under the window. He could catch a cold.
Engadget should start a collection for him.
Pip @ Oct 28th 2008 4:54PM
How about...
"Man from the mid-90s tapes computer parts to his body to get attention and hopes to be featured on "Caption Contest" on Engadget 10 years into the future".
Seems like the most logical caption...
OneLove @ Oct 28th 2008 5:22PM
...I see the problem...the power cord is disconnected....let me just plug...it.
iEye @ Oct 28th 2008 5:28PM
oooh a CRT screen...
a "Compaq", branded CRT screen....

This is when we realized the studio's heart was not in the remake of Tron.

"Is it recording?.. OK. This is day twelve of the pixel metamorphosing trials. Once again I am attempting to digitize myself and transport into my SecondLife character Antonio."

It's iEye!

@ Flashpoint: You need to get out of your parents' basement more if you think a high window is indicative of living in one's parents' basement. I've seen plenty of basement-level apartments in my day that were part of a complex, not someone's parents' house.

This is a classic example of "just because you could doesn't mean you should, and certainly don't take pictures of it."
Erb @ Oct 28th 2008 4:05PM
Do you want some fries with that erm... Computer?
Blaine Oliver @ Oct 28th 2008 6:29PM
No but i would go for some thinly sliced 130nm chips though :P
schoolhouserock @ Oct 28th 2008 4:06PM
one of the few computers with joystick included
Joe @ Oct 28th 2008 4:12PM
A touch sensitive joystick at that...

why do you think its called a joy-stick
fanthem @ Oct 28th 2008 8:14PM
At least his bag of hurt is covered up.
karts41 @ Oct 28th 2008 10:52PM
Is that a computer or are you just happy to see me?
Todd @ Oct 28th 2008 4:06PM
Encourage by the announcement of Windows 7 being less graphics intensive, Toby decided his wearable GPU will no longer be necessary and took this "before" photo for posterity.
Ryan @ Nov 13th 2008 8:11AM
Endgaget,
At least have the courtesy of slapping NSFW on the title... GAWD.
Paul Miller @ Oct 28th 2008 4:41PM
Is there a scenario where a post with "naked man" in the title IS safe for work? I want to read THAT site.
kdmurray @ Oct 28th 2008 4:08PM
Lost all my clothes in a bet. Now I keep warm with my AMD.
Alex @ Oct 28th 2008 6:45PM
check out my new portable computer
shawnmos @ Oct 28th 2008 4:08PM
Looks like a good way to get electrocuted.
10VD @ Oct 28th 2008 4:10PM
At least they covered up the 3.5" floppy
soulsaber @ Oct 28th 2008 4:39PM
win
Derbeste @ Oct 28th 2008 4:56PM
EPIC....win!
Funniest comment I have read on engadget in months.
Znarfaggle @ Oct 28th 2008 6:10PM
here in south africa we called them stiffy's, not floppy's.
now i really feel sorry for him. a 3.5 inch floppy is forgivable....but for a stiffy?
Secher @ Oct 28th 2008 6:46PM
HAHAHA best one yet!
Rogue_Genius @ Oct 28th 2008 8:28PM
For your comment, you win the internets. All of them.
TomFox @ Oct 29th 2008 3:50PM
YES! You win! Give this person a prize!!
youngstunna @ Oct 28th 2008 4:10PM
the system looks a little bloated to be labeled compaq.
olas polare @ Oct 28th 2008 4:11PM
peter in family guy: you think thats bad? what about the time i had to work as a stripper at the engadget christmas party?
omoks @ Oct 28th 2008 5:37PM
LOL. Excellent
andrew @ Oct 28th 2008 4:11PM

Hi, I'm a mac...... and I AM A PC!!

"I'm sorry, I left my wallet in my other hard drive."
"Thank god he used IDE instead of upgrading to the SATA thong."
htd @ Oct 28th 2008 4:14PM
was that guy drunk or stoned? why this post here? tape one with a laptop doesnt qualify him/her as a computer... though it would look better than this...
koushik @ Oct 28th 2008 4:14PM
Would YOU like to be a model for dell's new clothing line?
threefingeredlord @ Oct 28th 2008 9:08PM
Lol, liked that one.
Dennis O. @ Oct 28th 2008 7:38PM
"Hello, I'm a Mac and he's...well, an IDIOT!"
Atropos @ Oct 28th 2008 4:15PM
The new Dell Optisex 755.
Bevan @ Oct 28th 2008 4:19PM
this has little to do with computing and technology and far more to do with fame. It's a 'look at me' and an embarrassed self aware one at that.
Toadlet @ Oct 28th 2008 4:15PM
Is that your hard drive, or are you just happy to see me?
jorvay @ Oct 28th 2008 4:16PM
I'm allergic to latex. This is the next best form of birth control.
