2014 Caption Contest - Week 44

2014 CAPTION CONTEST, Week 44 -- My mom: "So what are you doing for your picture this week?" Me: "Something Thanksgiving-related. Maybe that Norman Rockwell painting." My mom: "What, with you as the turkey?"

I was more thinking "as the Grandmother" until then. In other words, blame my Mom for the turkey-related nightmares you have this week. And enjoy your dinner Thursday!

So how would you caption this picture? Comment below! The same pic will show here and on Facebook. I'll repost the pic with my favorite caption on Friday. No prize this week, sorry, just the glory of winning!

Week 43 winner!

Week 43 Caption Contest results! Well, Stupid Guest Tricks has been down most of the week, so those funny folks who check in on the contest exclusively from there missed out, but there’s still plenty of hilarity! First, the Honorable Mentions: Jay Marsh: "Practicing his grand entry for the Hunger Games, it was too late to reconsider the spray glue on his skinny jeans."; Bill Carleton: "And this why you never, EVER, put a wombat on the front row!"; and Rich Eick: "Brad, not being a bass, had to prove he is worthy of singing Ring of Fire."
                                                                                  
And for the second week in a row, your Caption Contest winner is Darren Grabowski, his sixth win in 2014 and tenth overall! Congratulations, Darren!

Week 42 winner!

Week 42 Caption Contest results! This guest-star turn from Doug Lewis brought in some funny lines! First, the Honorable Mentions: Darren Grabowski, with this callback to last week's Baylor parade pic, "So you're saying just sit like that, and then slide onto the bear's shoulder when it goes by?"; Alan AJ Irby: "Just another classic case of don't be the guy sitting in the middle of the row who needs to go to the toilet."; our guest star Doug Lewis: "No, Brad, I have no idea if the fourth guy to my right works out."; SGT's PatchOBlack: "Look, the dress code clearly says black, white, and shades of gray! What's the matter with you?"; and Brooks Harkey, who went there: "You can always spot a colored person in a crowd."
                                                                                  
And not only getting an Honorable Mention but also this week's win is Darren Grabowski! This is his fifth win in 2014 and ninth overall! Congratulations, Darren!
                                                                                  
Thanks to all who entered! The Caption Contest will be on a one-week hiatus next week while I travel -- I turned 50 this year so I'm required by law to go to Branson.

2014 Caption Contest - Week 42

2014 CAPTION CONTEST, Week 42 -- With special guest star Doug Lewis! How would you caption this picture? Comment below! The same pic will show here and on Facebook. I'll repost the pic with my favorite caption on Friday. No prize this week, sorry, just the glory of winning!

Oh, and I should mention two things: First, Doug is a very brave and trusting soul who posed for this without knowing how I'd use it; and second, his book is very, very funny. If you like Douglas Adams, you'll enjoy To Cure the Humans
