HALT!!! Or I shall see to it that a harshly worded resolution condemning your actions is passed immediately....after the proper amount of time for deliberations of course.

How could someone post anonymously without an e-mail address?, unless of course they were the person that came in third in that same caption contest.

Posted by: Pile On® at December 3, 2004 02:23 PM

Actually it wasn't even me, Pile, but congratulations! I knew you were going to win :)

I haven't set up all the options yet - I'm sure there's all kinds of stuff I still haven't configured. I didn't even start until last night.

Before Thorax stumbled off the set and into the big fight scene in "Alexander", he would never have believed it was possible for a movie to suck more than "Revenge of the Killer Ants".

Strangely, no one questioned his presence on the set.

That's twice now.

This is going to be a tough one to judge... I may have to get a team of judges.

I'd better stock up on beer.

Yes, I linked to it, but even my gutter mind didn't anticipate the full horror of the ....err... plentiful male references. All I saw was the stupid look on his face and those demented things coming out of his helmet.

Silly me - I must be more pure-minded than I thought.

That is funny Rodney, I just relooked at the picture and that sword looks so dull you couldn't cut warm butter with it.

You seem to have a lot of pent up captioning in you? That is what would suck about running one of these contests like you do at OTB.

Pent-up captioning didn't seem to help me all that much, Pile.

I think you guys are just good at it.

Posted by: Cassandra at December 3, 2004 10:35 PM

Thank you. Pile on

I always put my own captions on the winners page, as Rodney's bottom of the Barrel, and I try to name the edition of each contest with what is essentially another caption.

Leopold Stotch has been running third contest at OTB every week, that and the Wizbang contest is enough, though I missed Cassandra's. I wonder if McTrip will find his (at list I assume male) way over here. McTrip is another name I've started to depend upon, like yourself, to always come up with one or two really good captions.

Having donated most of his winnings to the Church of Latter Day Saints and deeply depressed over his recent loss loss on Jeopardy, Ken Jennings, in an attempt to regain his know-it-all celebrity, signed on to the new reality TV game show Roman Carnage. The anxiety of having to start from scratch had an affect on Ken's thinking as he inadvertantly misjudged "Taking the Gladius." as a good thing.

The med tech who was assigned to get a sample of Michael Jackson's DNA savaged the doctor who gave him the job and held the entire clinic off in a bloody showdown.

Meanwhile, news agencies from all over the world are camped out at the testing center to see if the ultimate secret Jackson has kept so long will be revealed: What species and gender he truly is.

Suddenly it occurred to Colin Farrell that Oliver Stone may have had an ulterior motive in giving him the lead role in "Alexander the Ingrate".

The competition to out do Ken Jenning's and become the next great Jeopardy Champion was fierce and came to a head when one costumed contestant said.
