Our pal “Ben Bass”:http://benbassandbeyond.blogspot.com/ apparently has _other friends_ with captioning talents that outstrip ours (sniff). His chum Neal Svalstad is one of the “finalists”:http://benbassandbeyond.blogspot.com/2008/11/getting-out-vote.html in The New Yorker‘s cartoon caption contest this week. We’ve looked over the options (his is the one that mentions sushi), and Emdashes throws the full weight of its support behind the “Striking Viking” option. Go “vote”:http://contest.newyorker.com/CaptionContest.aspx?tab=vote&affiliate=ny-caption!
Incidentally, the headline of this post is an acronym that spells out _**SVALSTAD!**_
