Sorry for taking so long to announce the results of last week’s contest. We had so many great entries that it took me a while to go through them all. Now that I’ve done that, let’s find out which two lucky readers have won ‘Homeland: The Complete First Season<\/a>‘ on Blu-ray.
\n<\/p>\n

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

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

Narrowing the results down to ten Honorable Mentions and only two winners was a difficult task, but here are some of my favorite entries:<\/p>\n

Honorable Mentions<\/h5>\n

Phil L. wrote:<\/p>\n

Why should I pay $200 a month for cable? I can watch the game on my neighbor’s TV.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Mark wrote:<\/p>\n

Is being a Peeping Tom ‘My So-Called Life’ now?<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Shannon N. wrote:<\/p>\n

Surveillance in a van? Jack Bauer never had to do this shit.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Terry C. wrote:<\/p>\n

These 3D glasses are AWESOME! <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Price wrote:<\/p>\n

Wow\u2026 even with this High Definition Laser Scope, I still can’t seem to find the reason why I decided to do “Terminator 3”.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Alex cleverly played off my example in the original post:<\/p>\n

Wow, Mandy Patinkin’s breasts really are spectacular!\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Just in time for the RNC convention, Barsoom Bob got political:<\/p>\n

So those are Mitt Romney’s tax returns. He only pays 13%, how come I have to pay 35%! <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Mark L. continued the theme:<\/p>\n

For the Republicans (and likely some Democrats)….
\n“Crap! Only two hours of having to watch this Biden guy and now I’m REALLY feeling the pressure to protect the President!”<\/p>\n

For the Democrats…
\n“That’s it. After only two hours of watching this Romney guy….. I now realize I’m on the wrong side.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Ron’s entry was perhaps obvious, but it needed to be done, and he was the first to do it:<\/p>\n

Damn you Waldo! I will find u!\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

It’s a shame that EM has already won one of our contests within the past year, because he gave us a bunch of great entries:<\/p>\n

This “stadium seating” is getting ridiculous.<\/p>\n

“My God! Is that Grace Kelly in Raymond Burr’s apartment?”<\/p>\n

“I wish I’d packed the bipolarized lenses\u2026”<\/p>\n

“\u2026I thought the invitation was for steak, out!!”<\/p>\n

Twig Peeks\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The “Twig Peeks” one kills me, and EM honestly deserves a prize just for “steak, out.” Sadly, he has a few more months before he’s eligible to win again.<\/p>\n

The Winners!<\/h5>\n

I knew that this entry from Steve was a winner as soon as I saw it. :<\/p>\n

“Being a bipolar woman with a tripod makes me hexpolar.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

That’s brilliant. Then, to seal the deal, Steve also came back with:<\/p>\n

“Sarah Shahi, Morena Baccarin, me\u2026for a ginger, that guy pulls some quality tail!”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Ain’t that the truth? Damian Lewis’ life really seems blessed, doesn’t it? But then I remember that he also had to play an intellectually disabled<\/em> space alien who fought “Shit Weasels” in ‘Dreamcatcher’, and it all sort of evens out.<\/p>\n

Anyway, our second prize copy goes to lordbowler for:<\/p>\n

“Now I finally have proof that the Postman doesn’t always ring twice!”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Ha! Nicely done.<\/p>\n

Congratulations to Steve and lordbowler for winning ‘Homeland: The Complete First Season’ on Blu-ray. For the rest of you, don’t forget that you still have some time left to enter our ‘In the Shadow of the Moon’ contest<\/a>.
