Now, the end of this week is a little screwy with the end of camp, so I'm going to push the deadline back just a smidgeon more to Friday at noon EDT. (I've got the evening off, so I might as well make hay while the sun shines and all.) As always, you can press your luck and try and sneak one in before I judge it.

Go!

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #106

Michelle finally figured out a way to grow grass on walls well, excpet for the fact the only place to put this wall was on the way to the bathroom. One too many diet pepsi's, and a dark night, she regreted her mistake.

This is the end result of depriving a FIRSTer of Mountain Dew for 24 hours. FIRSTer meets floor (or in this case field).

Who needs a lawn mower? Even the mighty goat bows down to the voracious Michelle and her unquenchable hunger for gargantuan amounts of grass.

"Wanting to be more in tune with nature, Michelle decided to sit down and smell the grass. Unfortunately, it was imported from Jamaica, and she hasn't stopped talking to plants since."

At the end-of-the-year banquet when the mentors on her team told the students that during the summer they should take time to smell the roses, Michelle, ever the over-achiever, smelled the roses, the dirt, the lawn, and everything else in the yard.

<not an entry> I think I'm allowed to enter? Oh well if I'm not...I'm doing it anyway. And it only took me almost a week to think of it! </not an entry>

And to think the only reason I went out side that day, was because the Internet was down and I couldn't get on Chief Delphi!

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #106

Don't say I don't love you guys--I've tried to judge this contest in four states now (Maine, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, New York) before finally plunking down the ten bucks and just buying the wifi in the Starbucks at Penn Station.

Oh, and apologies if I'm mildly incoherent--sleep was hard to come by on the train, and I can't check in until noon, so there's nothing to do but pull the old all-nighter. But I might suggest turning on the Today Show this morning. ( squared.)

First place goes to:

Second place goes to:

12) Rick TYler
13) Andrew Blair

And the burn award...

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #106

Loooook into my eyes - look deeeeep into my eyes.
Professor Tree-Lawn-ee has predicted that
*using strange mysterious voice* - 'grass will take on a life of its own, giving rise to confused bugs and new and improved lawn maintenance machines. In the 7th and final hour of a long and muggy day, blades of both grass and machines will form an unlikely but determined alliance against big hairy potted plants and weasley little bushes overtaken by hog warts. The alliance will prevail, grass and machines will triumph'....and *pop* the spell was broken, though the world according to F.P. never quite righted itself again.
