Orbitcast Caption Contest: The Winners!

Thursday, October 27, 2005 at 10:18 PM

Ok, the moment you’ve all been waiting for (maybe some more than others) the winners of the Orbitcast Caption Contest. First off, I do sincerely apologize for the delay in getting to this point, despite my promises otherwise, it seems that life simply got in the way. Please understand that Orbitcast is not my fulltime job, and stupid me decided to hold this contest right in the middle of a career change, so my personal resources were extremely limited. I also didn’t anticipate the massive response for the contest. In total, 459 captions were submitted! Wow. Finally, due to the limited time available, I had to make the decision to put off working through all the captions in favor of continuing writing entries. Triage that needed to be done. So again, I apologize for the delay in this and a big hearty thank you to everyone who has sent me emails of support the past few days.

Oh right, the winners. Well, we have two winners of course since this is all about SIRIUS and XM, so without any further yacking… here they are:

Cranky Media Guy gets himself a brand spankin’ new Delphi Roady XT (courtesy of MyRadioStore.com) and MikeyG gets a shiny new Sirius Starmate Replay (courtesy of The Sirius Store). Congrats guys!

Holy slow week. Not much went on in the world of satellite radio this week, so it’s a damn good thing we have this contest to keep the blood flowing.

By this time you should know that the Orbitcast photo contest is sponsored by The Sirius Store and MyRadioStore — but I know you slackers haven’t visited them yet. So c’mon and just go there, poke around, you might find something you like.

Check out the 5th photo after the jump. (didja notice that I’m alternating each day between XM and SIRIUS? Trying to keep it fair people!)

Day 4 of the caption contest! Keep em coming, these things are hilarious! (Some are a bit annoying too though - could we chill with the “xmelot” and “siriot” crap? Random rants and psychotic babble about “ch-ch-chuuurnnn” will be deleted.)

Aside from all that, we’re very impressed with some of the stuff you’re all coming up with — this isn’t going to be easy! So without further adieu… check out the 4th photo after the jump. Something tells me everyone is going to have fun with this one…

Orbitcast Caption Contest: Day 1

Monday, October 10, 2005 at 6:49 PM

We’re going to do a little something different here. Today we’re going to kick off the week with a photo caption contest that will run through Sunday, October 16th (bonus points to whoever figures out who’s birthday that is). Anyway, so here’s how it works:

Everyday there will be a new photo posted here, each photo will be somehow related to satellite radio of course. Anyone who wants to participate can simply write in a funny caption for that photo in the comments area. At the end of the week, I’ll tally up the captions and he/she who has the most funniest captions combined - wins.

No, you don’t need to participate EVERY day to win, but the more funny captions you can come up with, the better off you are. There’s no limit to how many captions you can post, but funny is the key here people - not vulgarity - so make ‘em count. Yes, real email addys will be required, but they won’t be displayed or ever spammed - but otherwise there will be no way to tell who you are and who to ship the prize to.

Prize? Did I just mention prize? Yep, you can’t have a contest without a prize! Courtesy of our two favorite satellite radio resellers, MyRadioStore and The Sirius Store, we have a brand new Roady XT and a brand new Starmate Replay for the winner of you caption-writing-freaks. And since we’re all about being an unbiased satellite radio place, you get your choice of either. :)

So enough with this palaver, let’s get on with the show! Check out the first photo after the jump…
