Hey, didn’t we promise last week that we’d give away a couple copies of ‘Falling Skies: The Complete First Season<\/a>‘ on Blu-ray? You bet we did! Enough with the suspense already. Let’s get to that and find out which of our lucky readers have won.
\n<\/p>\n

Last week’s contest may not have had the highest turnout we’ve ever seen, but I have to say that I enjoyed a good number of the entries.<\/p>\n

The challenge, as explained in the original post<\/a>, was to come up with a funny or clever caption for the following image:<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

Honorable Mentions<\/h5>\n

I thought that I had taken the most obvious of all possible captions off the table at the start with, “He’s got the whole world, in his hands. He’s got the whole world in his hands.”<\/em> Ah, but then Alex outsmarted me with this one:<\/p>\n

Alas, poor Yorick. I knew him, Horatio\u2026<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Well played, sir. <\/p>\n

EM wrote:<\/p>\n

I can see Russia from my house!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

You know, it wouldn’t surprise me at all if that’s what Sarah Palin really looks like when she takes off her human mask.<\/p>\n

It’s a shame that EM has previously won another of our contests within the past year, because this entry of his is also very clever:<\/p>\n

\u266b Shiver, shiver, little Earth
\nHow your terror gives me mirth
\nGripped so tightly tween my claws
\nSized so rightly for my jaws
\nShiver, shiver, little Earth
\nHow your terror gives me mirth\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Ronald gave us these good entries:<\/p>\n

I just wanna sing, it’s a small world after all!<\/p>\n

Earth! It’s what’s for dinner!<\/p>\n

There’s Roswell! Think I’ll go there and crash for the night!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I think I would like some fries with that!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Kelly wrote:<\/p>\n

Pinky: Gee, Brain. What are we going to do to tonight?<\/p>\n

Brain: The same thing we do every night, Pinky, try to take over the world.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

lordbowler gave us a bunch of good ones:<\/p>\n

Now, where is that “You are Here” sticker?<\/p>\n

Where are the holes for my fingers?<\/p>\n

Hmmm, looked bigger from space!<\/p>\n

What am I in the mood for next? Asian Food, maybe Italian? Indian Food gives me heartburn!<\/p>\n

Melts in your mouth, not in your hands!<\/p>\n

Is loves my preciousss!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

“We can’t be THAT far from the closest Target! Check google maps.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Where’s the beef?<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The Winners!<\/h5>\n

I think that VIOZ has figured out the secret to my judging:<\/p>\n

“(Quote from a movie you like.)” That should make me the winner. And I saved on neurons!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

You know what? This genuinely gave me a good laugh. So, yes, you are<\/em> a winner today just for that, VIOZ. I bet you didn’t see that coming! Ha!<\/p>\n

And, as if to prove VIOZ right, I’m giving Jim S. our other prize copy for:<\/p>\n

I see dead people\u2026<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Yes!<\/p>\n

Congratulations to VIOZ and Jim for winning ‘Falling Skies: The Complete First Season’ on Blu-ray. Thanks to our friends at Dolby Labs for supplying the prize copies, and thanks to everyone else for participating! We hope to do this again soon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
