Friday Funny: Another Cartoon Caption Contest
It’s Friday, so it’s time for our Friday Funny Caption Contest here on Data Center Knowledge!
Our winner for last week’s caption contest was Lori MacVittie who submitted: “I don’t think that’s what the boss meant when he said he wanted us to be in the cloud, Kip,” for the cartoon drawn by Diane Alber, our resident data center cartoonist.
Thanks for all the submissions and to all our readers who voted on the final choices. This week, we are asking for submissions on a new cartoon below.
Cartoon background: Many people have commented on how Kip and Gary really shouldn’t be drinking coffee in the data center, we are well aware of that rule, but unfortunately (or fortunately for a humor spot?), Kip and Gary aren’t. Today, they discovered a sign that was recently put up by facilities, and now they are just confused. We provide the cartoon, drawn by Diane, and you, the reader, submit captions. We will then choose three finalists and you will have a chance to vote on your favorite. The winner will receive their caption in a signed print by Diane!
For more of Diane’s work, visit www.kipandgary.com.
Submit your captions in our comments section.

Posted November 4th, 2011This halon based coffee leaves something to be desired.
Yeah, and if a tree falls in the forest and nobody hears it does it make a sound?
Gary, guess we have to pull those 50kW water cooled cabinets and limit two servers per cabinet !
Coffee ain’t a liquid – it’s brain food !

my caption: thank goodness all we brought are mugs
So much for my idea of a coffee based, liquid cooled rack…I can’t stand the taste of glycol in the morning.

Posted November 6th, 2011I suppose saying, “I’ll drink to that!” would be frowned upon by management.
