Caption Battle: Who Doesn't Love Mecha?

"To cry ourselves to sleep rather than face Boxing Week shopping?"
"To calculate how long mail takes to travel overseas during New Years'?"
"No... it's time for this week's (and likely this year's) caption battle!
But first, last week's winners:
In third place, because I love rhyming: wallpaperotaku!
You better not pout, you better not cry, you better not shout and THIS is why.
In second place for making me read something with good delivery (yeah, that's right): red.alchemist!
