Caption Contest for Feb. 1

CAPTION CONTEST, Week 5! This week I've inserted myself backstage in the world of Harry Potter -- now YOU supply the caption in the comments. The same pic will show on both Facebook and here at The World of Wombat. I'll repost the pic with my favorite caption on Friday. (As always, no prizes, other than the glory/infamy of being chosen, sorry.)

Week 4 winner!

Congratulations to this week’s Caption Contest winner Lyn Robbins! In spite of the intense lobbying by several of my VM brothers at rehearsal last night (serious, guys, not one of you even offered a bribe!),  Lyn takes the prize by suggesting I have any athletic skill at all. That’s humor, folks.

By the way, none of you went the direction I thought of when I made this pic: “For the last time, buddy, I’m not Oprah. Quit talking to me!”

Honorable Mentions: Darren Grabowski: “...and that's how I got where I am now. So, how many subscriptions to Vibe can I put you down for?”; Dan Stafford: “Did you just pinch me on the butt? Again??” and Lisa Lavelle: “Gee, Lance, I'm flattered you asked me to represent you, but even I'm not THAT good!”

Caption Contest for Jan. 25

CAPTION CONTEST, Week 4! Y'all should have fun with this one! I've inserted myself into another doctored photograph -- now YOU supply the caption in the comments. The same pic will show on both Facebook and at The World of Wombat. I'll repost the pic with my favorite caption on Friday. (As always, no prizes, other than the glory/infamy of being chosen, sorry.)

Week 3 winner!

Congratulations to this week’s Caption Contest winner Jack Westbrook “Don't let go, Regis, I'm falling off this chair!” I can totally see that happening to me.

Honorable Mentions: Both Darren Grabowski: “My preciousss!”  (a bit of a non sequitur, but perfectly matched the expression) and Carl Axelson (“Answer: A. The Vocal Majority Chorus, Regis. Final Answer.” Now wheres my $1M, Carl???).

Caption Contest for Jan. 18

Week 2 Winner!

Congratulations to this week’s Caption Contest winner Darren Grabowski – this Tangled reference made me giggle! (In a manly sort of way, of course.) Someone really needs to do a mash-up of the dwarves’ plate-tossing scene with “I’ve Got a Dream.”

Honorable Mentions: Steven Jones: “That really is a Wonder Diet if you can pass as a dwarf!” (buttering up the judge by mentioning his weight loss is never a bad thing) and Brandon Randall “You mean I have to share all this food?” (even though he went in the opposite direction).

Honorable mentions: Rob Kroese ("Epcot Center is like the Tardis. Bigger on the inside."), Carl Axelson ("How many triangles do you count?") and Darrell Commander ("You know, technically, John, it's more of a New Year's Eve Polyhedron.")

Caption Contest for Jan. 4

CAPTION CONTEST! I'm trying something different this year, borrowing heavily from (read "stealing") a concept my friend Rob 'Diesel' Kroese used to feature on his late lamented website Mattress Police, before he went off and became a celebrated author. Each Monday or Tuesday I'll insert myself into a doctored photograph, and YOU supply the caption in the comments. The same pic will show on both Facebook and here at The World of Wombat. I'll repost the pic with my favorite caption on Friday. (No prizes, other than the glory/infamy of being chosen, sorry.)

Here's the first entry -- fire away!
