Sunday Contest: Caption That Stupid Picture, Third Edition - WINNER! WINNER!

Yippee! Yippee! Hey, everybody, the new phone books are here!*

I want to thank everyone who stopped by and commented on this the 3rd edition of Stupid Photo Caption Contest, this was an amazing turnout, and there is an embar-ASS-ment** of riches this time around! With that in mind, I had a very difficult time picking a clear winner. There quite a few laugh out loud types, ‘spit-takers’ as we say in the biz. Very, very good stuff. You can all be proud!

Given that there were so many to choose from, I decided to break it down into some different categories, sort of like the Academy Awards with less cleavage. Well, frontal cleavage anyway. Here are the categories:

Honorable Mentions:
People’s Choice Award – self explanatory, I think.
Best New Vocabulary Award – For most interesting new word.
Far Side Award – For tapping into that ‘Far Side’ Spirit.
Golden Boot In The Ass Award – I have a weak spot for the footie.

And the Grand Prize:
Golden Wiener Award –They get the coveted ‘Irish Gumbo’ wiener award.

To mix things up a bit, I have also decided to randomly award one lucky person from the Honorable mention category to receive a IG wiener award as well. So, with further ado, let’s get to the awards, shall we? Let’s keep the acceptance speeches short and sweet, m’kay?

People’s Choice Award goes to…Michelle, at Michelle’s Blog! for “The lengths a man will go to avoid munching a rug..." She’s got something on her mind, what is it? Hmmm…

Best New Vocabulary Award goes to…Pseudonymous High School Teacher at Pseudonymous High School Teacher! for ‘sodomator’ as in “Daarth Vaaaader. I am your brother, lover, sodomator”. I don’t really know how she came up with that.

Far Side Award goes to…Kat, at 3 Bedroom Bungalow to Let in Crazytown! for “Jimmy thought rock climbing would be easy until he ended up on a sheer cliff and broke his neck. Bummer Jimmy, bummer.” I dig it. And out a shout out to Cambridge, UK!

Golden Boot In The Ass Award goes to…Red Squirrel, at Passably Content! For “Arsene Wenger's newest signing had heard of his Manager's reputation.....” Alright, probably only Red Squirrel, cIII and myself will get this one, but I’m a sucker for the football reference and, hey, Gooners have a sense of humor, too!

Randomly selected IG award: (roll a die, roll die) – Michelle!

And the big wiener, the ne plus ultra,

Golden Wiener Award goes to…Malisa at Moonlight Hollow Musings! for…
“Rump Ranger says, "I always keep my eyes open during sex!"

It could be a weird educational film mascot, or bizarre talking toy, even a cheesy action show: Rump Ranger Rides Again! (or should that be, 'Is Ridden Again')

Congratulations one and all!

To streamline the awards process, lucky winners can pick it up here:


And no cheating, this is the honor system. I think. Thanks so much to everyone for chiming in on this edition of the Stupid Photo Contest, I’m pleased and honored by your visits!

  3. So my Dad is staying here while Shawn and I remodel his house. If I leave my laptop open for even a second (say while I pee) he jumps in front of it and starts reading my email and my blog. He isn't even secretive about it. When I text my friends he reads my texts if I forget to delete them.
    If I speak with anyone on the phone he will make comments later about the conversation. The scary part is..he isn't even here when I have said conversations. He is on the road hundreds if not thousands of miles away. I seriously think he has our house bugged. It is scary as hell. Glad you asked? lol

  5. Of course, if I could remember the "e" on the end of promise, it might make it more sincere.

  11. Whooohoooo Pseudo was a winner!

    Damn - I was all set to follow the new phone book ("I'm a Somebody. My name in print") quote with "Things are going to start happening for me now." Classic cinema, my friend.

  16. I think this is the first time I have ever got recognition for a caption I have come up with. Thanks IG! I shall display my award with pride on my awards page :)

  17. Woohoo I'm a winner :)

    Spurs had a lucky escape last night in a game so intense a Burnley fan in the ground died of a heart attack in the second period of extra time.

    It's only a game (I would say that because we're bottom of the league of course...)

  18. Kat: Say it loud, say it proud: I'M A WIENER!

    Red Squirrel: Yikes! That's pretty hardcore! Your right, 4-6 on aggregate: someone was looking out for them!

  19. See now... I missed out on all the fun. And I so want to be a Wiener. :(

    But on another note. I think it is well established that I am a Football nut (American football, though I love a soccer game as well, the only bar fight I ever started was over a soccer game... maybe I am just a nut).

    San Diego - Chargers - The Bolts (well that is just a stupid nickname). Their song is stupid as well... San Diego Super Chargers (repeated over and over). But heck we did make it to the playoffs despite having the most ineffectual coach on the planet. Oh, I have to go now, before I start cussing. F-ing Norv (oppss, it has started again).
