The Winner Of Caption Contest #1 Is...

Oh, this is going to be difficult. There weren't a lot of contestants, but that doesn't mean that there were no quality entries, quite to the contrary. So, one more time for those who aren't familiar. The idea was that someone had to write a caption for this picture...



...and the winner would get a mention of them or their blog, plus a large cup from my Cafepress shop. So I will list my favorites by the name of the author and by their first name in alphabetical order-

"This just in, an Earth-breaking announcement."

From Powder Burn Flash.com Publisher, Aldo Calcagno.

Doc, hit all the cultural references better than Letterman or John Stewart, but this made me laugh the hardest-

"Where's the rest of your 'Rockband' game?"

Paulie Decibels almost won me over with a Madness-reference, but I prefer-

"You could put someone's eye out with that!"

Quin Browne knows the classics and while Doc made me laugh the whole time I read his quotes, this made me laugh the hardest-

"It only looks smaller than six inches."

So? I made a choice and then I asked The Missus. I read her the quotes and she kept trying to see who wrote what, but I wasn't havin' it, because I wanted to make sure it was unanimous and she says that Doc is the winner!

Doc has a fine blog, "Social Zymurgy: The Culture of Beer," that has a mixture of philosophy, writing and the occasional illustration. The thing I respect about Doc the most besides his fine musings, is that he is an auto-didactic like myself. He is also quite a raconteur.

He is also married to the wonderful Flan and they have the parenting-thing down to a science.

So congratulations, Doc, you've won my first ever caption contest!

Caption Contest #1

Here we go, this is simple enough...



...write a caption for this picture. What do you win? A mention of you or your blog, plus a large cup from my store and you the winner, get to chose which design (meaning from the Writeprocrast Cafepress Shop).

The rules are that you can only enter four times and what I mean by that, is that you can post only four comments. That doesn't mean that you can't have more than one caption in each comment, but I don't want to have to scroll way the hell down the page because someone posted more than four entries.

Fling your captions no later than 11:59 PM, January 9th, 2009. This contest is open to everyone that isn't family, and make me laugh, or make me think. Don't make me cry however, as that's the job of The Missus and she will put a hurt on you, which you won't forget in this lifetime or the next.
