Caption Contest

17 years ago

With the holidays now behind us, it appears that the forum is getting a little more traffic so this may be a good time for a new game.

Add your caption to the photo below. After a few days, the person who posted the picture (in this instance: me) will pick a winning caption. The winner will then continue this thread by posting a new picture of his/her choosing and the rest of us will add a caption to his/her photo. After a few days, that person will judge the winning caption and the cycle can continue for a while until new entries have tailed off or until the thread maxes out. BTW, multiple entries ARE allowed. So if you've already entered a caption and later think of a different/better one, you can always add it too.







Alright..... caption this:

  • horton

    The caption would read:- Arf arf....woof woof... arf arf arf...arf arf.....wooarf wooarf....woof. arf arf arf..woof!!!

    Which translated from dog-speak means:-
    "Come quickly hairy one and turn your head around the proper way.
    Grannie's fell down the well AGAIN! You can finish that stupid one man game later!"

    Everyone knows dogs cannot play chess. Snakes and Ladders...yes...but not chess!

  • jeanner
    17 years ago

    Oh I knew I was in trouble ... I can't decide!

    I narrowed it down to three ...

    In this edition of Birder's Magazine, the Wood Ducks visit Pee Wee's Playhouse from Mike.

    And ...
    "I know she is plain but she does good eggs" from Mrs Horton (amd why is it that if that had come from Mr. Horton I would have been offended but otherwise found it hilarious???)

    And...
    "you really should consider a breath mint." from FTM.

    So I did eenie, meenie, minie, mo and the winner is (assuming I know my eenie, meenie, minie, mo's) ...

    Mrs. Horton!!!

    The torch is passed.

    Thanks, but it's not my fault; I was born this way. Either that or my parents did something to me when I was young, depending on who you believe. :D
