DBA.SE Christmas caption competition

In the spirit of the festive season, hats and all such matters, we proudly present the DBA.SE caption competition.

enter image description here

The rules are simple: Answer this meta question. Edit the image above in a photo editor of your choice and add a caption. The caption must be on a database related topic.

Other users can then vote on your answer and the answer with the most upvotes wins. The competition closes on December 31 and the mods will get in touch with the winner to arrange delivery. Downvotes, of course, don't count.

First prize is a 240GB Intel 330 SSD so it's not small change. Consolation prizes will be awarded on completely arbitrary grounds.

Time to get creative, and may the best caption win.

EDIT: and we have a winner.

    And we have a winner ... as at Midnight 1 Jan 2013 UTC (measured as accurately as the clock on my laptop is set, which is in no way synchronised to any atomic clocks at all).

  • What I meant is that the text really shouldn't be right over the face - just graphic design 101.
