Rules of the game: Winner posts a new picture, waits 24 hours... After the 24 hours, he/she counts the number of captions, if the sum is less than ten, he/she waits another 24... After ten captions or NO LATER THAN 48 hours, the winner of the last round declares the winner of the current round - whatever caption strikes him/her as funniest: he/she also picks a second and third place (more on that below) The winner of the round has 24 hours to post another picture to be captioned; if no picture within the 24 hours, (or notice posted by the winner that he/she is looking...) then second place is up, who also has 24 hours... During breaks in the action, (between a winner being declared and the next picture posted) general discussion may take place... Moderators should be aware that a picture posting may cross with a "general discussion" type posting. The mind is a weird and mysterious place |

Ok, playing by the rules, there weren't at least 10 entries in the first 24 hours, but we have enough now, and it's within 48 hours, so.... I have to say, I really did laugh at Chris's caption. It's simple, and it fits my sense of humor. 1st place, to Chris, and PM sent. You're next! Chris S ~ Sorry Sir, nowhere to attach your new satellite TV dish, so we put it over there. OK? I liked Holy Hand Grenade's caption a lot, too. 2nd place goes to: KWSN THE Holy Hand Grenade! ~ a Saturn V rocket, as designed by Michelangelo... And Steven had a very clever entry, especially considering I named this picture "juxtaposition" in my photo file. ;~} 3rd place goes to: Steven Meyer ~ In the OED, at "juxtaposition" we find . . . Very fun, carry on, Chris S. ~Gordon The mind is a weird and mysterious place |
