CAPTION CONTEST RESULTS!

CAPTION CONTEST RESULTS! This is one of those weeks that really fired your imaginations, so lots of funny to choose from! First, the Honorable Mentions: Dennis Glenn: "Hearing the palace guard softly singing, 'Put your hand on my shoulder,' Brad decided for once in his life to totally go for it."; Tom Halverson: "Excuse me - I'm new on the job today. Where do I pick up my jacket and my gun?"; Whitney Rogers (This will be hilarious to anyone who attended the VM Spring shows. See what you miss when you don't?): "Excuse me - do you think I can reach the heavens with top of my hair now?"; Patrick Stayton: "Keep calm, carry on, and pull my finger."; Darren Grabowski: "Do you want to build a snowman?"; Dennis Walker: "Didn't you get the memo? This is casual Friday!"; and Bob Littlepage with this bit of Monty Python nostalgia: "So..... do you want to go upstairs?"
                                                                                                                                         
And in a week that had a ton of great entries, fellow VM baritone Chase Gooding takes the prize (disclaimer: no prize) with this Wizard of Oz callback, the very first submission this week! Congratulations on your first win, Chase!

CAPTION CONTEST RESULTS!

CAPTION CONTEST RESULTS! First, the Honorable Mentions: Lisa Lavelle: "The 'Wombat Club' franchise never really took off, despite its cult following."; Alan AJ Irby: "Rather than file a restraining order, the mouse decided that turnabout was fair play."; Two closely-related entries that are even funnier together: Scott Stogius Maximus Lewis: "There's just one moon and there's just one sun, and there's just one Wombat for everyone..."; and Lara Beilby: "It's a Wombat after all... It's a Wombat after all... It's a Wombat after all, It's a Wombat's world."; Stupid Guest Tricks'
kcberlin: "The licensing debacle of 2015... it all started with a wombat?"; and finally, a VM inside joke from Bill Carleton: "Wombat begins to question Phil McShan's ability to lead the chorus when he discovers the costume choice for Nebuchadnezzar."

CAPTION CONTEST RESULTS!

CAPTION CONTEST RESULTS! This time, the sharks were celebrating "Wombat Week"! Lots and lots of funny to choose from! First, the Honorable Mentions: Two from Darren Grabowski: "Our patented system of using lawyers as shark repellent will ensure a safe dive." and "The moment when the caption contest jumped the shark."; Darren's lovely wife Jill Thomson Grabowski: "Brad was asked to share his new widget with the show 'Shark Tank' and took it a little too literally!"; Lisa Lavelle: "Wombat's Rendition of 'Under the Sea' failed to attract the friendly sea-creatures he envisioned."; G Scott Lewis: "Two predators of the sea. One is a Great White. The other? A shark."; Bret Morris: "Sharknado 4: Revenge of the Wombat"; Robin Belcher: "Excuse me. Would you like to hear a baritone perform in the key of sea(C)?"; Doug Lewis: "As an experienced falconer, Wombat was taken aback when the shark bit off his arm rather than perching on it."; Stupid Guest Tricks'
bookbabe: "This isn't the Epcot dolphin encounter, is it?"; and Brian Elliott: "Staff meeting."
