Caption Contest - Winner Announced!

I'm back in town after a nice weekend in Santa Fe, New Mexico with Hubby and some friends.


Yes, that's right. Those are EMPTY margarita glasses which might explain the OMG look on my face. It's either that or I was seeing one of Quirky's zombies headed my way wanting dessert. Or maybe it was exhaustion from the table dance I did to help pay the bill. That would also explain the red nose.


Uh, ReformingGeek?

Yes?

You need to announce the winner.

What winner?

THE CAPTION CONTEST WINNER YOU BRAIN-FOGGED GEEK!

Oh. Please stop yelling at me. Sniff.

Fast forward a bit.

OK. I found Perspective Cat hiding behind the drapes because he saw me type "zombies" and even promises of mouseburgers later could not coax him from his hiding place. I went looking for Real Cat. That was useless. He is pouting because we left him this weekend and is outside looking for potential meals while turning up his nose at contest judging.

I begged family and friends to help out and they came through for me!

Finally. The winner.

Marissa from WhaHappen, with this caption:

"Future Sith Lord, you are. By your red eyes, I can tell."

Marissa gets the Perspective Cat award for her blog.


Jacki and SpitRock Dozer also scored points with the judges.

As usual, you guys did a great job with the captions and thanks for playing!

Caption Winner Announced!

OK, folks. Those were some great captions. The judges bickered and the cats tore at each other's eyes so I had to step in and come up with a solution that would please everyone. I know. I should realize that I can't please everyone so why do I keep trying?

Anyway, we have three winners and I'm going to divide up the prizes. I thought about sending only egg halves but Hubby wouldn't let me do that so I went back to my basket and found that Perspective Cat laid another egg. That's the luck (or the magic) of the Irish. Afterall, it is St. Patrick's Day, right?

Thank you for waiting. Your call will be answered in the order.......

Sorry about that.

And the winners are:

Nooter from Nooter the Dog
Bunk Strutts
Tracy from Tracys Ramblings

Tracy showed us that she is one touch cookie with her caption:

The Cats: Oh yeah? Which acre? We ain't got all day to be kissing your butt!!

And she was not ashamed to beg for the mushroom egg so since she is one of the winners, she will get her mushroom. I am such a softie!

Nooter really impressed the judges with his staged dog attack:

..the plan to distract the cats was working perfectly. if i can just get a little closer...cloooser.. aaand... BARK!

And Bunk made us giggle with his clever "pecker" joke:

"Look, mates! His pecker's on the wrong end!"

I do have an egg for each of you. Please email me at caroljean.fo at gmail dot com and I'll get them in the mail.

Thanks for playing and for making me giggle away some spring fever.

Caption Contest - Winner Announced!

Today is the day. The winner of the caption contest will be announced.....but not just yet. I have to tell you my life story.

Just kidding. I will say that I was a bit scared that I might not be able to post this as our Internet Service Provider's DNS server decided to commit harry-karry Sunday afternoon. My service was sketchy at best.

"Hello. My name is ReformingGeek and I'm a Blogaholic."

"Hi ReformingGeek", echoes the crowd.

Fast forward a few hours and several glasses of wine I'm breathing a sigh of relief. Our service revived itself and I'm back in business.

First, I found this budding daffodil in my front yard. It made me smile so I had to share it.

Also, remember that I fired Perspective Cat as a judge. He ate too many of the entries from the last contest and I kept having to rewrite them and put them back in the hat. I tried to enlist Real Cat to pitch in and judge this time but he was banished outside after presenting me with a huge squirrel that some other beast probably killed. I know better to think that fat old Real Cat could actually catch and kill a squirrel at this point in his life. Real Cat proceeded to feast on the squirrel right in front of my bay window. DISGUSTING!!

So I begged Hubby and my SIL to help me judge. It was incredibly tough as there was so many great entries. Keep in mind that Hubby and SIL are also geeks. I don't know how the winner will take that......

Anyway, without further ado, First Place goes to Machinist with this caption:

The Boxer Rebellion staggered to a halt for lack of vision
and a sense of direction. (and better vision slits)

Marvel Goose is awarded Second Place with this caption:

The executive team at Dilbert's company made two major decision at this year's Outdoor Retreat:
Fire the stupid events planner who hired the stupid program facilitator who put us all in these stupid boxes.
Make sure the next stupid events planner has larger breasts.

Bill M., Nooter, Deb, and Bee also received votes from the judges.


You guys did an awesome job. It was very hard to pick the winner.

Machinist, please email at caroljean.fo@gmail dot com and I'll send you your prize! Congrats!

Cuddly Cat Caption Winner!

Ready or Not, it's Christmas. Yeah. I know that it's Christmas Eve but we have a celebration today so let's call it Christmas.

My stocking has been hung with care snark and I think there may be something living in it. The cat seems very curious. I hang it every year and nothing ever happens. I wonder what I'm doing wrong.

Hubby put up the lighted garland and wreaths so we are no longer serving the Dark Side around here. But we were unable to find inflatable Star Wars characters again this year. I realize everyone else is happy with inflatable Santas, Snowmen, Disney characters or 'Jesus is the Reason for the Season' scripted in bright lights but not us. We want something different. Personally, an inflatable Hans Solo would have been fine with me. I'll just let your minds go where they will on that one.....

Finally, the winner of the caption for this photo:



1st Place: Tracy Rambling over at Rambling Thoughts of the Neverending Mind. Her blog is lots of fun. Check it out!

Tracy's caption: "Even I am sick of all the cute stuff they keep sticking us in! The next person that calls me "Santa Claws" will get their eyes clawed out" said the cat.

2nd Place: Marvel Goose over at The Daily Egg. Great insights and perspectives from the Deep South. Somehow I want scrambled eggs after reading his posts:

Marvel's caption: "Naughty? Nice? It makes no difference to me. EVERYBODY gets a lump of used Kitty Litter."

ReformingGeek's Perspective Cat showed some attitude and added his own caption to this photo. He must think I'm Santa and how dare he criticize the mouth that feeds him?!?!

"Donts worry Santa. Iz take care of deliveries while youz sleep it off."

All the captions were great though. Thanks for playing.

I'll be happy to receive your prezzies in the form of votes over at humor-blogs.com.

Merry Christmas, folks.
