You're next--when it's down to the final contest for the win, the competition is really tight.

On to the next year!

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #364

Well done, guys!

I hit some caption contest burnout this past season but will try to do better and crank out some really bad puns more consistently.

Thanks for making this game available to all of us who love having fun with captions, Billfred!

Edit: @Billfred (post below) - I had no idea. Add, pay more attention, to my promise.

If entering 50 of 52 contests, four wins, and an average of 2.34 points per entry is "burnout", I'm glad I don't have to compete against you!

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #364

I've been planning on joining for almost a year. I certainly hope my humor is dry enough for this competition. Good luck to all in the new season.
