Guest contributor Ali sent us this photo, which she took last fall in Pittsfield, MA. We worked on writing a caption for it, but got worn out after discussing the source of the paper, the type of ink, whether the printers were fairly paid, and what they should have eaten for lunch.
We invite you to contribute suitable captions in the comment section. Our favorite entry will receive an Ethicurean t-shirt, just as soon as they are available — and since that could be a while, the winner will also receive a year’s subscription to Edible San Francisco or to the Edible magazine of your choice.
And if you have a funny photo like this that is just begging for captioning, send it to us via tips (at) ethicurean.com! You’ll receive the same exciting prizes if we use yours.
Update: Please comment using your valid email address in the form, otherwise we have no way of contacting you if you win. We will not sell, rent, or use your address in any way except to notify you of winning. Update 2: Contest closes on Friday, Feb. 29, at 5 pm PST.

“Industrial angst by the bushel.”

Supplementing locavores with ennui, a human complacency synthetic, safely pacifies common sense and serves as an important tool in limiting the development of community food systems.

What a rip off. The ennui I get at the grocery store only costs 25 cents a dozen.

Want PCB’s with that?

Free range local cynicism.

used to be just a “dime a dozen”…

RECALL NOTICE: recent ennui has proven unable to stand up on its own without drugs or prodding, and although we are certain ennui is safe–and indeed, healthy–for our school kids, we are asking families to destroy any industrially farmed ennui acquired in the last year.

Cross-bred with indifference for shelf-stability. Good at least through the 2008 presidential election.
February 25th, 2008 at 4:56 pm
Or you know. Whatever.

At least we can get one thing cheaper without outsourcing.
