Crispy readers, I salute you. I asked for your funny captions, and you delivered something fierce. Heck, to be honest, sometimes the photos weren't all that funny! Sometimes the pictures of the prizes were funnier! Yet you persevered.
As thanks, I'm opening up Tokyo Santa's Grab Bag nice and wide. The captions for Day 1 of the contest were so good that I was hard-pressed to pick a winner. I decided to give a random grab-bag pick to every eligible commenter who came up with a caption on the Day 1 picture (and who didn't win on another day). Crispy pays the postage, so what do I care? Prizes for everyone.
The winners for each day, of course, still receive that day's special bonus prize. On with it, then!
Day 1
Winner:
"2K allowed the Japanese studio to make many changes, such as to the Big Daddy, in order to make Bioshock appeal to audiences overseas." -- togmkn

"'BOW BEFORE ME!' He bellowed, brandishing his massive thumb and towering over the lone man left quivering in left field. 'YOU ARE LESS THAN AN ANT TO MY GREATNESS.' Only the slightest hint of doubt flashed through his mind: Why did the crispy gamer only get him a one-way ticket?" --
