\n<\/p>\n

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

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

First, the Honorable Mentions:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Alex:<\/strong> “Khakis, helmet, and a tan tie. What are you wearing?”<\/li>\n
  2. Joe C:<\/strong> “I don\u2019t care how you get them, but we need all six seasons of Hogan\u2019s Heroes on Blu-ray, and we need them now!”<\/li>\n
  3. Joe L:<\/strong> “That\u2019s right, 10,000 extra-large sausage & mushroom and 1 medium anchovy & spinach.”<\/li>\n
  4. Eric H:<\/strong> “Yes, we’re lost! Apple maps screwed us over again.”<\/li>\n
  5. Ryan M:<\/strong> “Hi, I\u2019d like to save 15% or more on my car insurance.”<\/li>\n
  6. Scott:<\/strong> “Can you hear me now?”<\/li>\n
  7. pioneer14:<\/strong> “Wassssssuuuuuppppp Bluuuuuu? Nothin\u2019..just chillin\u2019..drinkin\u2019 a Bud! How about you Ray?”<\/li>\n
  8. Steve B:<\/strong> “Sir, this is Recon team 1, we\u2019ve finally found a patch of land with no election signs.”<\/li>\n
  9. Jacob L:<\/strong> “I told you I wanted an iPhone and you get me this?”<\/li>\n
  10. Hocker:<\/strong> “My favorite scary movie? Who is this?”<\/li>\n
  11. Mark L:<\/strong> “For the last time! I don\u2019t need new door, windows or siding!”<\/li>\n
  12. Devin L:<\/strong> “Toodles\u2026Over.”<\/li>\n
  13. Carter Y:<\/strong> “You got it, jerky!”<\/li>\n
  14. Cameron:<\/strong> “Hello\u2026..Academy? Keep your damn trophy!”<\/li>\n
  15. Patrick:<\/strong> “Hey, I just met you and this is crazy. But I’m George C. Scott, have my babies.”<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
    The Winner!<\/h5>\n

    The above entries were all pretty clever. (So were many of the others, but I had to winnow the results down to just 15.) Something about Devin’s “Toodles\u2026 Over”<\/em> really makes me laugh, and I can actually picture George C. Scott calling up the Academy just as Cameron describes. <\/p>\n

    Sadly, we only have one copy of the disc to give away. After much deliberation, that prize goes to Kirby for the following: <\/p>\n

    SITREP Able one\u2026 Panzers approaching point Fox. Color correction lackluster, lo PQ, heavy grain\u2026<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

    Nicely done. Congratulations to Kirby for winning ‘Patton’ on Blu-ray, and thanks to everyone else for participating.<\/p>\n
