Week 25 Caption Contest results – third picture! First the Honorable Mentions: Bryan White: "Blue Man Group: 'Hmm. I'm just not sure if they're ready for a Blue-ritone.'"; Bear Deardorff: "Everything's better with Blue Wombat on it!"; Alan AJ Irby: "Wombat's new trio was really heavy into the blues."; and G Scott Lewis: "Wombat and his 2 friends regret their fight with the Tidy Bowl Man."

And this week’s third winner is my VM brother Peter Schott, his very first win! Congratulations, Peter – and may you (we) also win next Friday!

And with that, the Caption Contest will be on hiatus until July 14 while VM competes in Las Vegas. Thanks to all who entered – see you in a few weeks!

Week 25 - second winner!

Week 25 Caption Contest results – second picture! First the Honorable Mentions: Bryan White: "That was when Brad found out what they do to lawyers in Las Vegas... and that sawing a woman in half was not ALWAYS a trick."; Chase Gooding: "See, I told you his head was stuck up there!"; Bear Deardorff: "Wombat breaks into song once more with his rendition of Yesterday... 'I'm not half the man I used to be….'"; and Alan AJ Irby: "Started out as an audience volunteer, ended up as this generation's Siegfried and Roy incident.."

And I really can’t explain why today's second winner's caption makes me laugh as much as it does – but it does, so darph nader (from SGT) gets his second win of the year! Congratulations, darph!

Thanks to all who entered! Results for the final picture coming soon!

Week 25 - first winner!

Week 25 Caption Contest results – first picture! First the Honorable Mentions: Goofyernmost (from SGT): "And that marked the beginning of the end of the Rat Pack. No one took them seriously after that!"'; Patrick Stayton: "Recently discovered photographic evidence reveals that Brad's shameless attempts at scoring an upgrade to a suite in Las Vegas literally began the year he was born.”; and Larry E Collins: "The 'Bat Pack."

And our first winner today is my long-time friend Bear Deardorff, his very first win! Congratulations Bear!
