| A small competition [message #180566] |

I've been pondering the picture on the cover of the DVD box.
Clearly Marvin is pointificating. The question is about what.
Just because I had one sitting around, I decided it was diodes.
I took this picture to illustrate the situation:
http://members.aol.com/DNAfan147/
Clearly the guy is looking to his right (your left) at the one
I put in front of him (us). The question is, what is he saying?
In responses to this thread, please suggest answers to my
question. The best answer (in my eyes) will become the caption
for the picture, to be up at least for the rest of this year!

I spent the last two weeks road tripping for Thanksgiving.
Unfortunately, my brother beat me at golf this year. :-(
The good news was that I enjoyed it all a lot. Even the
five hours or so I spent in Florida at my Cousin's place.

There's a big sign over there that says, "No, not 42, it's 4:2. Four to two.

( You see people ask how far you can see and what you look at is light and
you can see the light from the sun - cos that's where it comes from, so if
you look at the sun or something else for that matter the light has
travelled a good few million miles - hasn't it ?

Also you'll be looking at the past.
It's like X-mas cards. When looking at the card it belongs to someone,
except it doesn't elong to the same person anymore and it isn't at the
original place, still it comes from that person.
So... Actually light is the way of teh stars to send X-mas greetings.

odd... I assumed it was a general joke, not one you'd come up with.
My housemates have been using 'omgwtfbbq' as a general pisstake of
acronyms for years now. We also put it on a badge and it's one of our
best sellers :)

It was a general joke - I didn't come up with it but I always
interpreted it as a pisstake of AOLers.
