This is like other picture caption competitions except twice as good because you give two captions, the winner is chosen within 24 hours if the poster wants, the caption winner has to be chosen within 48 hours. The winner needs to post a new pic within six hours of winning or it goes to the second place who has two more hours, or it goes to third who has one more hour, or it goes back to the poster to post another picture for captioning. They have one more hour to post another picture or it goes to the first who feels like doing so. It does not matter if the servers were down for part or all of the time. This should keep things moving along pretty well.

And no complaining is allowed: violators will be tied up with spaghetti and fed to hedgehogs and koalas.

We already have Beets give a caption 63, why do we need another one??? Sorry don't see the point.

Who cares what it is called, as long as the game goes on?

This was the little scenario that I was referring to in the last game.
Just had to set it straight.

Anybody want to add their caption?
Yes, that is Auguste Rodin's "The Thinker", known around the world.
If that gives you any ideas.

And here, ladies and gentlemen, we have the traditional Mayflower Shark Shuttle Float being pushed to North America by returning Pilgrim Iraq War veterans from their Alternate History timeline.

The best way to smuggle you kids out of the country is in plain sight! There is the USA-Canada border up ahead! Remember, on the Canada side you talk about poutine, how sexy the Prime Minister is, and say "Eh?" a lot; on the USA side you talk about needing to pry your gun from your cold dead fingers, Trump losing in Iowa, and needing a refill on your 48 ounce Diet Coke!

I think there are sooo few people on the SETI@home board that everything is struggling. If SETI would find something interesting enough to revive interest in the seti@home app then there would be new people posting all the time instead of the same few. Oh well, it makes it easier to win. ;)
How about:

If we push the spaceship into a clearing, then maybe the aliens can see it and SETI will get a signal!
or
How are we supposed to use the Flux Capacitor with all these people walking around?

Mojo,
I pass the title back to you.

The winners are :

and
I guess other people are not up to the challenger.

I might as well caption it while we are waiting on others:

Pharoah, row your crocodile ashore, hallelu-ya! Pharoah, row your crocodile ashore, hallelu-u-ya!
or
Birdbrain pharoahs who mistook crocs for boats, and spears for paddles, may be why Egypt no longer has descendants of pharoahs.
