"we can wait here all day if we have to, Paul, just get in the sandbox with the others and start making sandcastles."

"Here's the team that are developing our next sandbox game."

lol darragh

"The next Brian Wilson album is going to be written by committee."

"Let's see what the focus group thinks."

"How long have they been in here?"

"When we leave, they start moving again. The cameras prove it."

"I thought your report recommended setting up a dessert research lab!"

when I first saw the cartoon I had the impression that the three men and the three women inside the sandbox would pair off and mate, I don't know what would happen to the guy sitting on the edge of the sandbox, maybe the two men with glasses have come to remove him as he is the reject. I can't think of a way to condense that into a caption though.

does it saw in the rules that the caption has to be something one of the people in the cartoon is saying or can it just be a caption? I don't remember ever seeing a finalist in the magazine that isn't a quote.

I guess one of the men with glasses could be saying "the three men and the three women inside the sandbox are going to pair off and mate, we've come to remove you as you are the reject"
