Earlier this week, we asked Fixistas to offer their best caption to the photo above.
As expected, there were a fair share of height jokes (California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger is not that tall) and any number of Schwarzenegger movie references.
Our winner -- "CV23" -- deftly navigated between film and politics with this offering:
"Mr. Cool meets Dr. Freeze"
Genius.
Among the other highlights:
"Come with me if you want to live."

"Urged on by his colleagues, the Governator can't resist demonstrating that he can still bicep curl a good 150 pounds."

I wish I hadn't seen that terrible movie and didn't remember this, but it's definitely Mr. Freeze.

I found the winning post to be more obscure than deft. I must be out of the loop in Gotham City.

Wait shouldn't it be Dr. Cool meets Mr. Freeze, because Obama I think could be a Dr. and the character Arnold played was named Mr. Freeze. Or at least Mr. Cool meets Mr. Freeze, because that be the characters named. I feel like the comic store guy.

Nerd Alert! icebluebeast, while the character's name was Mr. Freeze, his "real name" was Dr. Victor Fries, as he was a cryogenic scientist. While it's technically incorrect, I can see the argument.
