We here at High-Def Digest<\/em> love giving away free Blu-rays almost as much as Peter Jackson loves adding extra footage to his movies. Almost. Last week, we offered you a chance to win the Extended Edition of ‘The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug’. Let’s find the winner, shall we?
\n<\/p>\n

As explained in the original post<\/a>, we challenged you to provide funny or clever captions for the following image:<\/p>\n

Honorable Mentions<\/h2>\n
    \n
  1. William H:<\/strong> Whoa!!! Best\u2026. Six Flags\u2026. Ride\u2026. EVER!!!!!<\/li>\n
  2. Alex:<\/strong> More fun than a barrel full of monkeys!!\n

    I’m sorry guys. It had to be said.<\/li>\n

  3. Lord Bowler:<\/strong> “If anyone sees a banjo player, RUN!!”<\/li>\n
  4. Matt M:<\/strong> “Hey I just freed you and this is crazy, but jump in these barrels. You’ll live\u2026.maybe.”<\/li>\n
  5. Kirby A:<\/strong> My name is Jack, Jack Daniels. I don’t often ride down a river in a barrel, but when I do I prefer single malt.<\/li>\n
  6. Timcharger:<\/strong> Little (pun not intended) did they know, this was their Rosa Parks moment. The dwarves refused to give up their place in line at Disneyland’s River Barrel Ride. You-must-be-this-tall-to-ride is ruled unconstitutional years later as the result of these brave dwarves. No longer do dwarves today have the shame of “separate-but-equal” amusement park rides.<\/li>\n
  7. Kyle:<\/strong> Fili: “Boy, I hope I don’t get left behind.”
    \nKili: (Reading the book) “Nope, nothing in here, we should be good.”<\/li>\n
  8. Daniel:<\/strong> If you smoke pipeweed, you will live in a barrel DOWN BY THE RIVER!!<\/li>\n
  9. Chris M:<\/strong> I knew we were going to be scraping the bottom of the barrel by making 3 movies for one book but this is ridiculous.<\/li>\n
  10. KiKS:<\/strong> “Oh No! Guys, Brace yourselves\u2026 Here comes the green screeeeeeeeeen!!!”<\/li>\n
  11. Hector C:<\/strong> As you can see, Smaug has eaten us. But the battle is far from over. We’ll fight him from inside his stomach!<\/li>\n
  12. Jason:<\/strong> And four, four barrels were given to Dwarves, who above all else, desire longer, extended cut scenes.<\/li>\n
  13. Chris McC:<\/strong> When my agent said Peter Jackson had me over a barrel\u2026 I had no idea.<\/li>\n
  14. NJScorpio:<\/strong> That look on your face when you realize you are stuck in a toll lane without any money.<\/li>\n
  15. MiguelNH:<\/strong> Boy, these American Ninja Warrior tryouts get tougher every year<\/li>\n
  16. Cliff G:<\/strong> I can’t believe we had to go back and do this again just for the extended version\u2026<\/li>\n
  17. Csm101:<\/strong> Far over the Misty Mountains cold
    \nRiding barrels down a watery road
    \nWe met the guy from Dracula Untold
    \nBathed a big red dragon in hot liquid gold
    \nReclaimed the place where we once stayed
    \nWhy in this movie no one gets laid
    \nExcept for maybe Kili playing sick
    \nHe just might score with that red-head chick
    \nOf all the Ardan dames to swoon
    \nIt won’t get better than Elvish poon
    \nFar over the Misty Mountains cold\u2026<\/li>\n
  18. Ashish P:<\/strong> Ahh!! This is saltwater! I’m a freshwater dwarf!<\/li>\n
  19. Deaditelord:<\/strong> A barrel of laughs my ass.<\/li>\n
  20. Thomas B:<\/strong> Samuel Adams, (almost) Always a good decision!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    The Winner!<\/h2>\n

    All of those (and more!) were really great, but unfortunately we only have one copy of the disc to give away. This entry from David S. gave me the biggest laugh:<\/p>\n

    The dwarfs knew their fun was over when they saw Gandalf on the river bank shouting, “YOU SHALL NOT SPLASH!!!”\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

    Congratulations to David for winning ‘The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug \u2013 Extended Edition<\/a>‘ on Blu-ray, and thanks to everyone else for participating in our contest.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
