As always, the deadline is nominally Saturday at midnight.

Go!

[rsisk]

Translation from leonese to English: It's peanut butter jelly time

[Taylor]

He didn't dare try that stunt the next year. Can you imagine a banana peel on that slippery regolith?

[Wayne Doenges]

Mark found out that the Los Guerrilla's were looking for him so he put on his banana suit to give them the slip.

[dodar]

I didnt know Brian from Family Guy was a part of FIRST!?!

[GaryVoshol]

Mark always wanted to be a head ref. Too bad he heard Tom Nader call them "bananas" too often.

[cgmv123]

That suit doesn't take away from his a-peel at all!

[EricH]

Mark's gone bananas, again. Someone do the math for how many times this is.

[Tom Ore]

Event planning committee to Mark: We've got some good news and some bad news. First, the good news: you're going to get a new suit...

[Andrew Lawrence]

"This is what I get for letting a bunch of teenagers take over the hanger..."

[Karibou]

Could be worse (http://www.bedbathandbeyond.com/assets/product_images/230/189710525586p.jpg).

[Jim Wilks]

Here we see one of Mark Leon's efforts to be "Top Banana"...

[rachelholladay]

Comparatively speaking, this make his typical blue hair look down right boring.

[DonRotolo]

Soy Chiquita Banana y he llegado a decir: Yo soy el plátano primer



(If you don't speak Spanish: Relax and have a banana)

Maybe I am dating myself here

[Barry Bonzack]

He's speaking Spanish. It's clearly a plantain suit.

[Billfred]

Well, here it goes!

First place goes to:

Could be worse (http://www.bedbathandbeyond.com/assets/product_images/230/189710525586p.jpg).

Second place goes to:

Mark found out that the Los Guerrilla's were looking for him so he put on his banana suit to give them the slip.

He's speaking Spanish. It's clearly a plantain suit.

*A note about Wayne's score: while doing the final awards, I noticed there were 52 winners over the year--normally right, but I pulled the plug (http://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/showthread.php?t=114615) on contest #452. After some searching, it turns out I scored Wayne for a win in caption contest #433 (http://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/showthread.php?t=109241) when he had actually placed second. I apologize for letting this error ride for so long!

As usual, we have a few awards in tow:

Year 9 Champion: Taylor (172 points)
Year 9 Runner-Up: Wayne Doenges (151 points)

Most Wins: Wayne Doenges, Taylor, and GaryVoshol (7 each)
Always The Bridesmaid Award: EricH (106 points without winning a caption contest)
The Travis Hoffman Memorial Burn Award Award: Taylor and GaryVoshol (5 burn awards each)
The Mr. Clean Award: JaneYoung (127 points without a single burn award)
The Mr. Tenacity Award: rachelholladay (25 single-point entries this year--but still ninth place for the year!)
Part-Timer of the Year: Karibou (52 points on just 14 entries, most of anyone that entered less than half the time)
Perfect 52 Entries: Taylor, GaryVoshol, rsisk, and EricH entered all 52 caption contests this year. Also notable runs include cgmv123 and Wayne Doenges, each with 50 entries out of 52.

On to year number ten!
