Week 32 winner!

Week 32 Caption Contest results! Wow, you guys came through this week – 44 entries (not counting Fred’s), which might be a record if I kept track of that sort of thing. Tough to choose which I liked the best, so… first the Honorable Mentions: Bill Carleton: "Unable to feed my family as an honest attorney. God Bless You!"; Darren Grabowski: "High quality cardboard for sale!"; Jerry Andrews: "Wants to identify with man on the street, has nothing to ask for. First world problems."; SGT's Lasolimu: "Wombat took the saying, 'dress for the job you want' very seriously."; SGT’s PatchOBlack: "After five hours of no hand-outs and a lot of confused looks, Wombat realized maybe he should write something on the cardboard sign...."; and Woody Woods: "I'm over the food thing. Will sing for Baylor tickets!";
                      
And the winner entry this week once again comes from Alan AJ Irby, his seventh win this year! Congratulations, A.J.!

Thanks to all who entered! New picture on Monday!

Week 31 winner!

Week 31 Caption Contest results! Sorry for the day delay… I was busy taken my firstborn to his new college home at the Cincinnati Conservatory of Music (which is part of the University of Cincinnati, whose mascot is the Bearcat – get it?). So, first the Honorable Mentions: Alan AJ Irby: "If the bear wants the cat... LET HIM HAVE THE !@#$%$&! CAT!!!"; Lisa Lavelle: "Lawyer tries unsuccessfully to distract bear with alternate food source."; Eric Abrams: "I said 'Look for the Bear Necessities'! How many bears (or any other creatures) do you know that need a pet cat?"; and finally SGT’s Lasolimu, with the perplexing but funny: "It's dangerous to go alone. Take this."

And the winner is SGT’s PatchOBlack, his second win! Congratulations, Patchy!

After my tremendous win in Vegas, I am taking a well-deserved break. Is my cabana ready yet? I think this trip should be comped. I can't even see the pool from here."

Week 29 winner!

Week 29 Caption Contest results! Sorry for the delay, folks -- one of the places I post this contest was having server issues. Thanks to Darren Grabowski for getting things up and running again! First the Honorable Mentions: Lisa Lavelle: "Wombat demonstrates why Earthlings need more time to evolve...."; the aforementioned Darren Grabowski: "If you win a Gold Medal, they'll let you do pretty much whatever you want."; and darph nader (from Stupid Guest Tricks): "Wombat juuuust missed his audition to be the 5th member of the squad. Apparently 'paddle-planet' wasn't a skill they were looking for."

And the winner -- once again -- is Alan AJ Irby, his sixth win this year, and thirteenth overall! Congratulations AJ!

Week 28 winner!

Week 28 Caption Contest results! Wow, this entry had a lot of very funny (and usually pretty insulting) entries! :-) First the Honorable Mentions: G Scott Lewis: "While not good enough to make the VM front row, Wombat easily danced his way into a starring role in High School Musical: Wombat Gets His GED"; Lisa Lavelle: "The kids weren't anticipating 'Audience Participation' at the Senior Center."; Zazu (from Stupid Guest Tricks): "Wombat thinks his chances of graduating this year are better than ever."; SGT’s YANXWIN: "Just because you win a little award doesn't mean it turned back the clock on your age 40 years."; and Kelly Patton: "Brandon and Benjamin Randall have officially changed their names after learning their father was going to be the drama teacher at their high school."

And the very first entry in this week’s contest, from my VM brother Rick Bivins, took the prize -- his very first win! Congratulations Rick!
