Rob Glaser photo caption contest now open

We haven’t heard much from bowling aficionado and RealNetworks CEO Rob Glaser since early March when he called Apple “deceptive for not explicitly telling customers that iTunes songs can’t be transferred easily to other devices,” so we thought we’d have some fun in the form of another Glaser photo captioning contest. Despite many calls for more, we haven’t had one since our Bono-Glaser photo caption contest last October.

So what if it’s one of those contests where nobody wins a “real” prize? Who cares! It’s fun anyway. Below is a photo of Rob Glaser, founder and CEO of RealNetworks, Inc. – let’s see what you can do with it!

  1. Actually I was singing the famous Udo Lindenberg song that Bobby Darin made popular in English. He’s my tranaslation of the German original version:

    Oh the shark has pretty teeth, dear
    And he shows them pearly white
    Just a jack knife has MacHeath, dear
    And he keeps it out of sight

    When the shark bites with his teeth, dear
    Scarlet billows start to spread
    Fancy gloves though wears MacHeath, dear
    So there’s not a trace of red

    On the sidewalk, Sunday morning
    Lies a body oozing life
    Someone’s sneaking round the corner
    Is the someone Mack the knife?

    From a tug boat by the river
    A cement bag’s dropping down
    The cement’s just for the weight, dear
    Bet you Mack is back in town

    Louie Miller disappeared, dear
    After drawing out his cash
    And MacHeath spends like a sailor
    Did our boy do something rash?

    Sukey Tawdry, Jenny Diver
    Polly Peachum, Lucy Brown
    Oh the line forms on the right, dear
    Now that Mack is back in town

  2. “I ate Mini Me. You know, that midget guy about this tall. I shouted ‘Get in mah belly!’ Then I caught him. Yes, I’m actually Fat Bastard in disguise.”

  3. “Stop the fat jokes” are you kidding? we need MORE fat jokes. ridicule away. this country (America) is out of control. we shouldn’t be making it easier to be fat we should be HARDER. much harder… because currently the avg weight of this country is disgusting and sad…very sad.

  4. Yes dear, I know I told you it was this big, but did you notice how I was actually referring to the distance between might right hand’s thumb and my right hand’s forefinger.

  5. “Stare deep into my eyes…

    repeat after me…

    Real is better then Aplpe

    Real is better than Apple

    Real is better than Apple

    No, my eyes. MY EYES! HELLO! Are you hypnotized yet?

    Damn… it works on the board of directors!”

  6. Tera Patricks isnt only easy, she’s incredibly simple. All I had to do is Feed her a cherry martini and it was Hitlers all night long..

    Easy, yeah Tera Patricks, you’re the easiest chick this side of the pacific..

  7. “Thank you all for coming today. I’d like to announce some new directions Real Networks will be taking over the coming year.

    First, we’ll be exiting the online music business and selling those assets to Napster. The deal is expected to close in 3 months pending government approval and assuming Napster remains in business that long.

    Second, we’re exiting the video playback business and selling those assets to Buy.com. They decided to refocus their online business model away from music downloads and toward streaming video.

    Third, we’ve sold the Real trademarks to the Coca-Cola company, since they are, after all, ‘The Real Thing.’

    Microsoft has agreed to purchase the remaining assets of our business for $30 Billion.

    And finally, I’ve agreed to become Steve Jobs caddie. Yesterday, he missed the 18th hole of Pebble Beach by this much!”

  8. “So after the last 28 days of eating nothing but McDonalds, my liver is this big. Now if I could just get a movie deal, I’d have a chance of making a profit on something this year.

    What do you mean it’s been done?”
