Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #8

Alright, so I firmly expected to be in my room at the deadline to enforce the law. But since VOMIT (Variations On Most Interesting Talents) called me away, I'll allow it. This time.

Now, here comes the really hard part...picking a winner! I actually had to whip out the rulebook and judge on that. (For anyone who's interested, it's originality, or in the absence of that, dry humor.)

First place: Mike Ciance...

Second place: Elgin Clock...

Pontiac, MI USA - The ongoing feud to rename the "Rumor Mill" to the "Rumor Lathe" was put aside this weekend by parties representing both sides of the debate when ChiefDelphi.com crashed and the back-up system had to be implemented."
Honorable mentions, which I'll force you to scroll for since there's quite a few of them...

Amanda Morrison
RogerR
Tom Schindler
Michelle 236
Brandon Martus
Jessica Boucher
EddieMcD (alright, you weren't too far off)
DCA Fan
Gary Dillard
greencactus3
Jay H 237
T. Hoffman

And I was about to avoid this, but I decided to bring back the "oooo, buuuuuuuurn" award. This was about as challenging as picking the winner, as there were quite a few good burns contained in these entries. But I wound up settling on Dave's entry...

'And at the recent CD Webhug, 32 pictures of someone named "JVN" suddenly appeared under the "Who Are You?" section of the bulletin board. Normally this would not be noteworthy, but they were all sequential shots of an unconscious Mr. V-Neun being Saran-wrapped by one "Amanda Morrison."'
Jay would've gotten the award, but c'mon...you know that deep inside Dave likes that photoshopping. (How else would the "That's Pimp" button get on the big screen?)

so what else...oh yeah! scores!
