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.

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

Week 22 winner!

Week 22 Caption Contest results! First the Honorable Mentions: Two this week from Lisa Lavelle, who suggested I do a Maleficent picture: "Wombat knew the Vegas Judges would be tough, but he didn't expect this level of 'Maleficence'" and "Wombat had to go to the depths of the moors to deliver his 'Once Upon a Dream' Singing Telegram. Sadly, Maleficent doesn't tip."; Rick Bivins: "Yes, I can make you into a Wombat Fairy, but the wings will have to be enormous. Why don't you settle for something more mundane, like a baritone?”; Eric Abrams: "Despite being able to 'prove' that Anna and Elsa's parents died en route to Rapunzel's wedding ceremony, the Disney Conspiracy Theorists still have yet to come up with a valid explanation for the fact that the 'Wombat' character from Ratatouille also made an appearance in Maleficent."; and Stupid Guest TricksGoofyernmost: "Before you do anything let me state my case. When I said you looked horny, I meant your hair! Honest!"

And this week’s champion is my VM brother G Scott Lewis, his third win this year! Congratulations, Scott!!

Thanks to all who entered! New picture coming Monday!
