This time around, the prize is a cool $100 in SparkFun credit to buy whatever your heart desires! So leave your best caption below and may the best person win!
ay gurls look at me. I am for reel man.
This comment is brilliant! It shows how todays society has degraded itself to the point where most males require little to no effort to attract their female counterpart, and how females have learnt to accept this absentminded effort as part of their daily lifestyle. Come on fellow brethren, we can do better than this. We need to unite. This is why I am suggesting the MWTAFGPULC, or the "Men Who Try And Find Good Pick Up Lines Club." What do you think?
Am I the only one that hears this with a Russian accent in their head ?
I hear it being said by Gru (Despicable me)
I hear it said by The Continental

Bob has a real Visual disconnect when it comes to remembering where he put his glasses. Last week he thought the thing on the left of the picture was a new USB plug for the visually disabled. This week...
After "reeling" all day, I'm having a "reel" short circuit in my head!!! Mirror mirror on the phone, don't you think I'm sparking fun.
Reading the circuit diagram correction notes a second time, Bob realized it said "mark should show cap", not "Marge Simpson shower cap".
... and that's how you make a 'selfie'.
Yes, I am an idiot, but I recycle. I am an environmentally conscious idiot.

Bob's mind-control hat failed to allow him to operate his smart phone. Against all expectations, however, it DID attract women.
It was at this moment when For Reel Man realized his secret identity had been exposed.
All hail the reel king of sparkfun, I am mighty and on fire!!
Cindy : Bob I like your idea to create a time-travel-machine kit but do we really have to arrive in the year 2525 with you wearing this stupid hat ?
And thus, Bob took his role as manager a bit more seriously than most of Sparkfun's management.

Oh, my, god. Becky, look at his hat. It is so big. I like big hats and I can not lie!

Bob likes to just reel off those selfies, picking and placing them on his Instagram.

Who cares if mom un-friended me. This selfie is like, totally going to get me a new bff on MyFaceOGram.
Front facing camera tells me... ladies still are not interested in the reel deal.
We now have the rare oportunity to witness the Bob in his natural habitat, and preparing to insert new components into his android brain. This occurs only once every 300 years, when his components begin to degrade.
The crazy thing is, this picture was actually taken with the camera phone seen in this picture...
Why so fieryous?
Pretty self explanatory, not much to say.
"I have the tallest hat. Now I'm CEO!"
Bob is reel weird.
You will do my bidding, phone, yes, you shall follow my commands and mine alone. Remember who controls your fate, it would take but the slightest exertion of my will to destroy you utterly. YOU WILL BOW DOWN BEFORE ME, PHONE.

Real Men Don't take selfies Reel Men do.

Bob uploads a new selfie to his social media profiles with the following text:
"Do you guys like my 'hot' new hat? I think it is 'reel' neat. #imgettingpaidforthis #lovemyjob #SFE"
