Your captions, please, for this lonely G5 as it sits watching the world go by in a quiet Danish street. According to Google Translate, the photo’s title on Flickr means “on the walk.”
Clean and funny please. Extra points for poetry, flowery language and use of puns. Lolspeak is banned.
Winner (as chosen by me) will be sent a small packet of Wine Gums. Deadline for entries is midnight (GMT) tomorrow (Friday 10th October 2008).

What? No Starbucks???
Where’s a boy scout when you need one?!
“I never had my own special event.
Goodbye, cruel world…”
I need a router.
“Why did the Mac Cross the Road?”
“Because Steve was parked in its spot.”
“I swear that new Apple store was on this corner! Oh man, I am so lost… Steve is gunna be so mad at me…”
You might say the G5 has a “corner” on the market.
G5 standing by…
I’m just waiting for the front side bus.
“You feel bad for the G5. This is because you are crazy. It has no feelings, and the computer that replaced it is much better.”
G5. It moves you, and your ideas.
There are more G5’s on Madison Ave. than any other type of computer.
Which way?
Your decision.
Apple. Think flexible.
Damned my arms hurt, I really need to buy myself a MacBook instead.
…to get to the other side.
My Mac likes to ‘moon’ passing cars.
apple’s new ‘green’ policy – use old macs to create new, stylish postal boxes!
I’m sooo shiny…
I stop traffic!
“No, Romana, I said to bring _K9_…”
Look at all those Windows…They sure look empty.
“Google street view my ass!”
how many Mac Pros does it take to cross the road?
Ahhh, the vista!
“damned macBook Air…….do you have a coin?”
“Sadder than a pizza in the rain.”
I’m so lost. I should’ve never relied on those PC directions…
If I’d designed this, it would have been a lot better looking!
It’s lonely at the top.
i’MACtually PROfoundly Lost
I can remember when this was all cornfields.
Not a user friendly cross street. Need some Cocoa cross flow.
I have a liquid cooling too!
Is this where the Frontside BUS stops?
Left behind…
Left behind…
To avoid benzene hazard, keep in a well-ventilated area.
Hey! I’m a PC too!
Can I have a ride to
the Apple Store?
Please!

G… I was only 5 minutes late, where did they all go?
If I only had a heart…and maybe some wheels.
Another beneficiary of George W. Bush’s “no mac left behind” program.

You know, i used to run around the intel processor but now where are the Core 2 Duo Mac Pro..
Will compile for food
Mac Pros, despite doing much work in the country, are denied some aspects of citizenship, such as driver’s licenses, so they must walk to work.
Which way did he go, which way did he go?
They wait patiently,
sweaty and quiet inside their aluminum disguise.
And when night falls…
“I wish I’d been nicer to everyone on the way up.”
Mac Pro contemplates suicide on news of new Macbook Pros.
It’s 2006, the Power Mac G5 sits at a crossroads.
To the left, the status quo. Power PC all the way, 3 GHz must be just down the road. Not too far ahead.
To the right, the unknown, a jump to Intel. Surely he won’t will he? It has to be Power PC!
Lets look at the roadmap…
AFter its arduous journey across the continent, through rain, snow, and barely fending off Alienware abduction, the forsaken G5 is determined to find its way back home. He knows, deep down to his core(s), that one of these streets is where it all started for him. One of the streets is where the warmth of family and friends awaits. One of these is the street named MacAlly.
Those wine gums look dangerously close to Jujubes. I think parents would rather find apples hiding razor blades than Jujubes in their kids’ Halloween bags. But I’m pretty sure wine gums a soft, so they don’t rip out healthy teeth, never mind bridgework.
…and I don’t have built in WiFi…?
No wonder I can cross over.
If you take everything out of me, I CAN be as light as a macbook air….
WEEEEEEEEEEEEEeeeeeeeeeeeeeee… I can fly!
