BEST TOP TEN…EVER!!!

Hey, hey, hey! This has been a really, really great few days.  I cannot tell you how much fun I have had reading the captions you all have crafted.  It's been a total blast.  Honestly, you guys are a super funny bunch…and really literate. I loved all the references to books, songs, past blog posts, current events and odd McKeon trivia. This round is sitting very well with the judges--I feel a ton of extra credit coming on…(but scoring will take place post voting…)  Joann's Catcher in the Rye  caption was awesome, and I love the references to the invisible hand. Picking the Top Ten was a real challenge for me.  And thus, that is why this post is kind of late…sorry. 

So, with no further ado…here is the Top Ten 

George! George! I knew it! I knew it!......there WAS something weird about the boy next door....he just targeted our house with a homemade drone!                           Jpulera

Draw something, I'm giving up on you.             Joann

I drew this picture with ashes from last Wednesday. That's Lentertainment!!             Joann

An original "selfie" of a Shidiot!        Jessica S.

On second thought, maybe Ronnie isn't old enough to play with the potato launcher.                      Stacy

I told you, size doesn't matter.                    Brian Kiernan

Nate forgot his camera that day so he quickly sketched a picture of Dave’s hole-in-one.                                                                Rob Fredrickson

A small peek into the brain of Peter McKeon.                     Nate McKeon

This is the effort you get when everyone gets a ribbon.        Linda Hantke

Go ahead, I dare you, it's a scratch and sniff.           John  
(Editors Note: I know this came in late, but I'm cutting John some major slack due to Andrew's illness--I love that kid--and I LOVE this caption.  Every time I read it I laugh out loud) 


Ok,  Dear Readers, go  make the vote happen….and Kudos to Joann for getting two in the Top Ten--seriously, there were so, so  many good ones, it was hard to pick.  And a special thanks to Team Ferraro.  I'm not going to lie, any comments on your captions from outsiders does seriously influence my choices….I like to get some perspective from others and Team Ferraro did a real nice job.  

Go, Go, Go and Vote (sung to the tune of Row, Row, Row your boat…)
