I've not had time to calculate the points, extra credit and voting, etc. from photo 4 just yet, (but I should get that done tonight whilst I watch the tourney) however, I do NOT want to get off track again, so I'm posting up with photo/cartoon 5. I fully admit that this is a total New Yorker rip off, (they have that caption contest in the back of the magazine every week). I LOVE the New Yorker cartoons (I have a love/hate relationship with the actual New Yorker magazine--it's a weekly, has very small print, a ton of words, long as hell articles and makes me feel like a failure if I can't finish it every week. I don't need one more thing in my life making me feel like a failure--I have kids and a husband for that--but I do love the cartoons) and am always very impressed with the captions people come up with. I've always wanted to submit one, but am way too intimidated. I think we definitely have some New Yorker caliber captions on the old blog, so let's make this happen and then one of you can enter the New Yorker contest flash your prowess in the face of all those smug highbrows who actually finish their New Yorker before the weekend. (Hell, I'm still working on finishing the People magazine) I do want to point out though, that the winner of the New Yorker caption contest gets a subscription to the magazine…You all are vying for WAY better prizes. So we got that going for us.
Ok, you have until 5pm tomorrow to get your captions in. That is 5pm FRIDAY. (I'm not screwing this one up again…this week)
Let's take this uptown and show those New Yorkers what's what….Caption me.
