2014 Caption Contest - Week 13

2014 CAPTION CONTEST, Week 13. I have to admit, this was one of the more complicated pictures I've created for this contest, but I like the result! How would you caption this picture? The same pic will show here and on Facebook. I'll repost the pic with my favorite caption on Friday. No prize this week, other than the glory/infamy of being chosen.

Week 12 - and PassPorter - winner!


"Please stand clear of the flying wombat!" Lots of very funny entries in the Caption Contest this week, but Darren Grabowski’s take on the usual “Please stand clear of the doors / Por favor manténgase alejado de las puertas" Walt Disney World monorail announcement was just perfect! (Now I want to have a t-shirt made that says "El Wombat Volar"!) Congratulations, Darren! You win a brand new PassPorter Walt Disney World 2014!

I normally don’t name a Second Place, but man, this entry by Bill Carleton cracked me up and almost won the prize: "It's called a wombat. We haven't had problems with pigeons pooping on the monorail since we installed it." Great one, Bill!

Other Honorable Mentions: Jack B. Westbrook: "Never mind how I got up here; notice I'm so light the roof is still intact."; David Wilmoth: "Here's Brad making memories during his FINAL Disney World vacation!"; Rox Eskew: "Yet another Contemporary Resort decapitation about to take place."; and winner Darren Grabowski again: "It is true what they say, if you have the money, you can do anything at Walt Disney World. Except this. This guy is just a moron."

Thanks to all who entered! New picture coming Monday!

Week 11 winner!

So many very funny choices this week! If yours didn’t get picked (I’m talking to you, Fred), no reason to be ashamed – you had some strong competition! This week’s winner is Stupid Guest Trick's Mouse Expert and Smilie Wrangler Zazu, his first win of 2014!

Honorable Mentions: Joe Hoofnagle: "What happens when Mini-Me grows up."; Patrick Stayton: "Star Trek Conventions: all the proof ever needed that mass cloning is a very, very bad idea."; SGT’s PatchOBlack: "'Chorus? No, I'm part of a gangsta rap group!' With those words, it was clear that Mirror Universe Brad had to be eliminated."; and Lasolimu: "Which one of us is supposed to be the evil twin?!" -- and a slightly less honorable but still honorable mention to Bob Littlepage: "Despite the temporal implications, isn't it wonderful how all those extra pounds got lost in the transporter buffer?" 

Thanks to all who entered! New picture coming Monday – what say we make it another prize week? I have another PassPorter to give away!

Week 9 winner!

This week’s pic was another one that inspired a lot of creative captions. It was hard to pick the best, but this one by Patrick Stayton made me laugh the loudest and longest! Congratulations, Pat, on your first win of 2014!

Honorable Mentions – the first two are first-time placers! Jay Patterson: "Brad takes rehearsal for his audition as Carl Fredricksen a little too seriously."; Stupid Guest Tricks' bookbabe: "Disney, in yet another cost-cutting fiasco, scaled 'Characters in Flight' back just a little *too* much."; SGT’s Zazu: "Okay, up works fine. Now, how do I do down?"; and Bryan White: "Moments later, Brad hiccupped, and that was the last he ever saw of his pellet gun." 

Thanks to all who entered! New picture coming Monday!
