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