CAPTION CONTEST RESULTS!

CAPTION CONTEST RESULTS! Lots of funny this week! First, the Honorable Mentions: Stupid Guest Tricks' Zazu: "Now, imagine that you had a tort claim against every single person who owns a chimney..."; SGT's YANXWIN: "Under the guise of 'showing Santa the city,' Wombat pushes Santa off the roof, thus becoming the new 'Singing Santa'!"; Lion King references from Lisa Lavelle: "And see that Dark, Shadowy Place? That is Hollywood... you must never go there!"; and Anthony Bartholomew: "Everything the snow touches is our kingdom."; Jay Marsh: "As Wombat describes the benefit of his legal counsel, Santa considers jumping off the roof."; and a special Honorable Mention to Joel Bezaire, because this exact Monty Python and the Holy Grail dialogue was running through my head when I created this picture: "One day, lad, all this will be yours..." "What, the curtains?" "No, not the curtains!"

And this week's winner is one of the rare people I know who is both from California and relatively normal, Lisa Lavelle! Congratulations, Lisa, on your first win this year and third overall!

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

Few know that the stage cuts your weight in half!"; Alan AJ Irby: "Unfortunately, in the editing of Charles Dickens' final draft, 'Winsome Wombat' did not read as well as 'Tiny Tim', and history was forever changed…"; Paul Burton: "God bless us, every Wom-bat!"; Don Kistler: "The change from 'Bah, Humbug' to 'Bah, Wombat' was an easy one."; Jay Marsh: "Mistaking him for a fourth spirit, Scrooge quickly grabbed the Ghost of Wombat Yet to Come & threw him into the orchestra pit."; and Darren Grabowski: "Opening night for the off-Avenue B production of 'Put That Thing Back Where You Found It Or so Help Me!' was a huge success!"
