CAPTION CONTEST RESULTS - #2 of 2!

CAPTION CONTEST RESULTS - #2 of 2! I'm back from an amazing adventure across the pond with the Vocal Majority! Time to sort out the results from my fake visit to the U.K. First, the Honorable Mentions: Jim Salmen: "I'll never trust Shatner again. Granted, I did want a queen-sized bed."; Stupid Guest Tricks' PatchOBlack: "Unfortunately, Wombat misunderstood what it means to be a 'guest in the London Tower.'"; Doug Lewis: "Though not the most beloved royal newborn, 'Wombat' was certainly the largest."; Darren Grabowski: "Hollywood, again showing they are out of ideas, reboots King Ralph."; Cory Church: "Excuse me, is this the line to the throne?"; and CS-Gail Randall: "Charles, exactly what does 'Sic 'em, Bears' mean?"

And Alan AJ Irby wins yet again, his fourth win in 2015 and his 19th overall! Congratulations, A.J.!

Thanks to all who entered! New fake picture coming on Monday!

CAPTION CONTEST RESULTS - #1 of 2!

CAPTION CONTEST RESULTS - #1 of 2! I'm back from an amazing adventure across the pond with the Vocal Majority! Time to sort out the results from my fake visit to the U.K. First, the Honorable Mentions: Jim Salmen: "My GPS just totally freaked out."; Alan AJ Irby: "What happens when the little voice inside your head spills coffee on the keyboard."; Bret Morris: "This is what comes out when Brad forgets his lyrics while singing. It is way more interesting than 'watermelon.'"; Lisa Lavelle: "Bibbidi-Bobbidy-Boo???"; and Stupid GuestTricks' bookbabe: "Wombat suddenly realized that asking directions from a man who was in the middle of a sneezing fit might have caused a slight detour in his travels."

And the first winning entry for this two-week contest is Darren Grabowski, his fourth win in 2015 and his 15th overall! Congratulations, Darren! (See this if you don't get it!)

CAPTION CONTEST RESULTS!

CAPTION CONTEST RESULTS! You definitely had fun with this one, although some of you were understandably confused about which wombat was which. First, the Honorable Mentions: Dan Stafford: "But he's my identical twin!!"; Stupid Guest Tricks' Lasolimu: "Sir, I don't care that your name is also wombat, I'm still going to need another passport for you."; Eric S. Zipp: "Your friend is cleared to board... but Mr. Wombat, it appears that you are on the no-fly list."; Jay Dennis: "But sir, the import regulations and restrictions are quite clear on this subject. Each family can bring in one wombat, so which one of you do we need to send home?"; Jim Salmen: "But the announcement said, 'Parents with children board next.'"; SGT's leftcoaster: "'Anything to declare?' 'One wombat. Make that two wombats.'"; Scott Stogius Maximus Lewis: "Wombat uses a wombat as his photo ID. It works."; and Rebecca Jordan: "Sir, I don't care that your name is also wombat, I'm still going to need another passport for you."

And this week's winning entry this week is from perennial funny guy Alan AJ Irby, his third win in 2015 and his 18th overall! Congratulations, A.J.!

CAPTION CONTEST RESULTS!

CAPTION CONTEST RESULTS! Many more great submissions this week -- and everyone seemed to agree that I shouldn't be allowed at the controls of a plane. First, the Honorable Mentions: Larry Lozuk: "Really? In Microsoft Flight Simulator you use the F3 key to accelerate."; Jay Marsh: "Hey bud, this is not part of your tour package. Back to the cargo hold for you."; two from Jim Salmen: "Relax, man. I've seen the movie Airplane like 25 times. I'm sure this is how it goes." and "Mind if I borrow this plane for a bit? I need to move a fridge across town." (Way to keep tabs on my personal life, Jim!); Darren Grabowski: " 'It's easy! You think of a wonderful thought!' 'Any happy little thought?'"; Bob Littlepage: "Right, so which button do I push to fire the phasers?"; Steven Jones: "No, really, I won a caption contest, and first prize is captaining a flight. Don't bother those tower dudes, call the main office - they'll confirm."; and Bret Morris with this way inside joke: "Baaaah... ba ba baaaah... ba ba baaaah... ba ba baah baaaah... ba-ya-ya-ya-yaaaah...." (It's the intro to VM's new jazzy a capella arrangement of "I'll Fly Away.")
                                                                                                                                         
And this week's brilliant winner is from the wise and wonderful Zazu from SGT! This is his sixth win overall and first this year! Congratulations, Zazu!
