ALL SCORED UP and PHOTO TEN--caption away.


Scoring for the Big Fish/Kid in the Bag Ugly Drawing
In honor of the NCAA  Championship Game (I hate both of these teams--I'm only watching the game in the hopes of seeing some blood shed, I'm not going to lie…), I've got the scoring for the last two photos.  I refuse to post PHOTO TEN until I get the scores up. So here is the scoring for "Merry Christmas, Bedford Falls". It's pretty self explanatory except for the extra credit.  Judy once again killed the voting, but Linda got her voting block to make some noise. I awarded a crap ton of extra credit because we've got a few new entrants and I want to give them a chance to catch up a bit. Extra credit was awarded as follows:
100 for Sue Enders because she's awesome, lives in Turkey and was in Oxford
100 for Kiki because her comment was so, so funny.  Even John loved it.
100 for Marie because it's so nice to have her in the mix. 
50 for Jarmarcus because I loved the "It's a Wonderful Life" reference.
50 for Jessica because she knows the quality of Hermes.  We need to meet in person, Sister. 
50 for Joann for also seeing the body in the bag.  It makes me feel a bit better. 
50 for Stacy because I can always count on her and she doesn't make me do a ton of counting. 
50 for Sue Roop because she made St. Ed's Mom Weekend a total blast ("Church Walk of Shame" will live in infamy)

OK, I think this ugly couple was one of my favorites.  Your comments were delightful. John's especially.  Truly, top shelf.  I apologize for the slow scoring, but I was a little distracted by St. Ed's Mom's Weekend. (A very good time was had by all, especially me and Jamarcus) but now I must devote my full attention to Lentertainment.  Scoring is all up to date.  You're welcome.  

As you can see, the points just keep climbing and the top three contenders--Judy, John and Rob--are neck and neck.  John is making his move, with Rob right over his shoulder, as they both start closing the gap with Judy.  But, lo ho ho, Dear Readers, Jessica, Joann and Linda are one good extra credit strike away.  We are in the Lentertainment Home Stretch.  These next ten days are critical.  I will do my part to provide high quality photos and timely scoring, so you will all know where you stand.  You all continue to do yours with outstanding captions,  voting volume and flashes of joy and brilliance that will rain extra credit.  Once again, even though she is in Florida, Judy hit it out of the voting park, but John made a valiant showing this round with both the captions AND the voting.  He has over taken his bromance buddy Rob and regained 2nd place. And in case you haven't noticed, it's all in the extra credit.  This Lentertainment Extravaganza will be won and lost in the extra credit column.  My advice to you all,  be bold, take some chances, and go hard for the EC.  

Extra credit for this lovely photo that I like to call "Jessica's Parents" was awarded as follows: 
50 points for Jan to welcome her to the competition. 
50 points for Kiki because "Free Bird" was awesome. 
100 points for Tricia because the Lake Forest comment was so dead on. 
50 points for Sue Enders because she still lives in Turkey.
50 points for Sue Roop because the candy she gave me was incredible and I'm still laughing at the Church Walk of Shame. 
100 points for Jessica for overcoming the true genetic handicap of her "parents" and finding her way into the world of Burberry, Hermes and Jimmy Choo. (and for making me laugh my ass off) 
20 points for Rob for being such a great voter and for always coordinating his picture with the voting
30 points for Linda to show her how much she was missed. 
20 points for Joann for quoting Mark Twain. 
30 points for John for incorporating the AK 47 and the parrot in his votes.  Super impressive. 

I know the extra credit is super subjective and random, but hey…that's Lentertainment.  

Now, the moment you've all been waiting for: PHOTO TEN--yes, of course I chose this cartoon because it is perfect for the this season of Lentertainment.  Caption it up and make me laugh. 


You have until 10 pm tomorrow to get your captions posted. I'm extending the deadline because I am so late---and because I will be glued to my television set tomorrow watching the Notre Dame Fighting Irish women play those U Conn Husky women.  It should be a battle Royale--I can't wait. Go, Irish. 
Go, Caption. Go, Lentertainment.

  53. Pope Francis revealed that it pains him when he sees a nun or priest driving an expensive car, and he praised the beauty of the bicycle, noting his 54-year-old personal secretary, Msgr Alfred Xuereb, gets around on a bike. He doesn't know that we think we know what he knows.

    ReplyDelete
