So, if you can choke back the tears... how would you caption this picture? Comment below! The same pic will show here and on Facebook. I'll repost the pic with my favorite caption on Friday. No prize, just the glory of winning!

CAPTION CONTEST RESULTS! Well, those of you who could get past my defiling the memory of the Beatles came up with some really funny captions! Here are the Honorable Mentions: Alan AJ Irby: "Although Wombat didn't make it past the dress rehearsal for the Ed Sullivan show, he was immortalized forever the following year, albeit anonymously, with Bob Dylan's 'Mr. Tambourine Man.'"; Sam Wilson: "Little known footnote to pop music history: Critics thought the Beatles had a lot of potential and might have made it really big, but after adding a fifth member and changing their name to 'The Wombats' they disappeared from the public eye."; Kelly Zink: "Providing the inspiration for the original lyric, 'I am the egg-man, they are the egg-men, I am the Wombat,' only to be replaced by a more menacing sea creature."; Jerry Andrews: "Wombat's tambourine taps on beats 1 and 3 lead to such a quick departure, history never recognized him as one of the 5th members of the Beatles."; and Lisa Lavelle: "...and the Tales of Baron Von Wombat get taller and taller."

                                                                          

And the caption that won, not only because it cracked me up the most but also because it allows me to sneak in some heavy-duty parental bragging, comes from my elder son Brandon Randall, who is just today finishing up his first professional concert tour, as a lighting tech for Paul McCartney! Congratulations on your first win, Brandon!

CAPTION CONTEST RESULTS!

CAPTION CONTEST RESULTS! And perfect timing, too, since there's nothing going on in the news that people are commenting about! First, the Honorable Mentions: Darren Grabowski: "I said my 'Selfies Throughout History' book would be hysterical, not historical!"; Lisa Lavelle: "Deleted Scene from Game of Thrones: 'Stick the Tourists with the Pointy End.'"; Jay Marsh: "After his embarrassing attempt at painting in Paris, Wombat decides to try photography."; Rick Bivins: "In Spencer's absence, Wombat videos the choreo for the VM's rendition of 'Night at the Coliseum,' an early BHS favorite."; Alan AJ Irby: "A lesser-known Neoclassical work: 'Oath of the Horatii Meets Selfie of the Wombat.'"; Matt McBrayer: "Can you hold that pose just a little longer? The flash on my iPhone didn't go off."; and Eric S. Zipp: "Wait! Wait! This will never work! We were supposed to 'draw straws,' you dummy, not swords!"

                                                                                   

And this week's timely winner (Disney parks just banned selfie sticks yesterday) is my cousin Ginger Commander Mann, her first win ever! Congratulations, Ginger!

Thanks to all who entered! NO new fake picture coming on Monday -- I'll be on vacation, and so will the Caption Contest!

CAPTION CONTEST RESULTS! Time for your creepy, kooky, and altogether ooky captions! First, the Honorable Mentions: Lisa Lavelle: "Wombat did not know he was adopted until he found this picture of his biological family."; Larry E Collins: "Lurch has a new trademark question: 'You sang?'"; Two from Darren Grabowski: "Brad is forced to take on a second job after sending Benjamin off to Baylor." and "Whatever you do, do NOT ask him where Thing is...."; and Stupid Guest Tricks' Lasolimu: "Originally, the Addams Family was going to include a barbershop-singing lawyer. The idea was considered way too terrifying and Uncle Wombat was ultimately cut."

                                                                                   

And the winning (and insulting) caption this week comes from SGT's YANXWIN, his first win this year and third overall! Congratulations, YANXWIN!
