I was going to do a real post today, but I know all you really care about is the caption contest. So here's the list of finalists. There were a LOT of really good entries, and I had a heck of a time narrowing it down to ten. Most of you were in agreement that the picture had something to do with mandroid sex or farting, but a few of you had some other ideas as well. I tried to include some variety in the list.
Cast your vote by Friday, March 30, 9pm PST. I will post the results on Saturday.
"Sir. You are touching my 'special place' again. You know that makes me uncomfortable."
Data looked up at the captain wishing he knew how to quit him.
"Data, I asked Number 2 to make number one on yours truly. He punched me and now I have to wear these sunglasses. Pee on your captain?"
"Ooops! Sorry Data. I just farted and it blew me off balance.
Man, am I ever hung over, and could someone please turn down these god forsaken lights!?"
"Look away Mr. Data. I'm hideous."
"Data, you're in charge. I have to head to my night job fronting David Letterman's house band."
"With my new X-ray Specs I can clearly see Uranus."
Data turns white as a sheet as he suddenly realizes that that is NOT Captain Picard behind those Foster Grants.
"We're like an old married couple, aren't we? Me staring at you longingly, and you, squinting away, dreaming of greener galaxies."
Thanks for voting and thanks to everybody for submitting your captions! Due to the overwhelming response, I'm going to make this abiweekly bimonthly I'm going to do this every two weeks. So the next picture will be posted on Friday, April 6. I've had one suggestion that I insert myself into the cast of Lost. I kind of like that. Any other ideas?

cleve AND pretty. you just get better every day, my friend (said the downtrodden blogger whose name and/or caption did not appear along with your top 10, not that she's bitter, because she thought the ones you chose were hilarious, but that's beside the point. the point, for she had one a minute ago, was that, er, um... 2 weeks? cool.) now... which ONE hilarious-way-more-funny-than-the-two-pathetic-ones-i-offered caption do i vote for? xox
Very funny captions, this was fun! I'd like to see you on "Dancing with the stars" or "American Idol" ... but then again, if we vote for future caption contest topics, where's the element of surprise?
Regardless of how you do it, these are fun. Everyone seemed to like it back on Belle of the Brawl's site before she stopped it.
Wow, I totally, like uh, sounded like a teenager on that uh, previous comment. Funny fun fun.
I would still like to see a contest where we can all take diesel's photo and create our own scenes. Everyone can vote on the best picture! Wouldn't it be fun to see what people come up with? Fun at d's expense of course! :0)
I'll be back later to vote.
Fun contest! I voted...
Manola's is hilarious!
I'm so jealous. I wish I could insert myself somewhere.
this should be fun...
These are all so good! There is one I like more than my own ... hard to choose, actually.
How about Miami CSI or Queer Eye for the Straight Guy?
How about HEROES? diesel you could pull off a hero with ease. Ahh the fun we'd have submitting which power you'd have!
You should have a "who has the best idea for a contest" contest!
I have way too much time on my hands but what better way to kill it during my bouts of insomnia than to spend the amount of time I spend here, hoping you'll notice me? I love you D! Thanks for the outlet!
Could you insert yourself into "Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip" as someone who might actually make the show interesting?
Neva - You were SO close to being one of the finalists. Although I kind of figured the Diesel fitter joke was just for me.
Anita - Maybe we should have a contest to determine what kind of contest we should have? Like, totally.
Random - Feel free to steal my picture and do with it as you see fit. :)
Tammie Jean - Cool, thanks!
Sher - Er, you are in there!
Lime - It sure seems like it.
Manola - I know, it was hard to pick just 10. I don't think I can do queer eye. Maybe CSI.
Random - Great idea! I'll let you run that contest. Heroes, huh? I could probably do that.
Jocelyn - Wow, that's exactly what that show needs. Me.
This was fun to read! Really enjoy your blog. So Ok to blogroll you?
Diesel, have you got an email link here? Cuz I'm not seeing it, and I've got something to send you. Or just come visit and see for yourself =)
Put yourself as a patient of Dr. Gregory House and his crew.
What you got against "bi", huh?
OK, so I guess you could have said "twice-weekly" or something.
It's an honor just to be nominated. Thanks for the push.
How about with Gordon Ramsay or Jesus or on Oprah....?
Iz - It's always ok to blogroll me. :)
Tracy - I think there's a link on my profile. It's diesel -at- mattresspolice.com. I'll stop by anyway....
Joel - So not AS House, huh? Because some people have noticed a resemblance. Mostly in our personalities.
Dan - I can never remember which one means twice a week and which one means every two weeks, so I went with the Porky Pig option. That's all, folks!
Brad - You're welcome. It's a great caption.
Tanya - You're a little crazy, aren't you?
Way too many good choices here but I voted... and not even for myself... this time.
I, of course, voted for myself, but I'm glad to see Pavel's caption in the lead.
Well I say, you've got a bona fide Caption Contest! Now do I have to be the dullard to ask about the voting setup? In other words, has my vote registered by clicking on the person's link?
Ok, I'm with the "Lady with the Lamp Shade on Her Head"...better known at My Asylum as LWTLSOHH. Duh? I'll try to vote but my technologically challenged brain might not be able to figure this out. And, while I'm here, darlin', is whiskey-in-a-jug anything like white-lightnin'-in-a-jar? If so, I'm with you.
Love the uranus joke, always gets me.
Cool poll--I had a rough time making up my mind which way to vote. And thank you, I'm extremely flattered that you listed mine:)
This was a really fun idea!
featured "blog" on your own (other) blog? you are a whore. (tho' you do look good in those cool shades)
and, yes, that "Diesel fitter" joke was just for you. that said, would it have killed ya to use it? seriously, you're not the only one vying for attention around here, bub. xox
Those are really funny!
Can't wait to see the next one!
IDOL! (You should be in movies, too, not just TV. You're WAAAAYYYYY awesome enough to be in movies. Go, man, go!)
D'oh!! The poll didn't show up on my office computer! Really, I'm not THAT challenged.
A plethora if wittiness.
Be sure to check out the contest at my place...you might be eligible to win whiskey-in-a-jar.
What great captions!
I feel honored that you liked my caption. Usually I'm the only one who finds me funny. Great contest!
Gotta love a Uranus joke. Too many is never enough.
Thank you so much for picking me for this very good top ten list! I didn't even think people would care for another Brokeback Mountain reference.
Per your instructions, I have voted. Sadly, my candidate seems to be losing. I suppose I shall endure the pain.
Best to all who participated.

Bice - Don't expect to get any credit for being magnanimous around here, pal.
Anonymous - Yours was a more "high concept" caption. :)
G - Sounds like maybe they have javascript disabled? Stupid IT people.
Swampy - It will all get you where you want to go.
Furiousball - Me too.
Actonbell - I like that you took it in a completely different direction.
Neva/Snuppy - Ok, ok! I'll feature you next.
QotM - Glad you enjoyed it. I'm still deciding what I'm going to do next Friday.
Angela - Hmmm. I'll think about it. I think that you can't have a huge overbite and front teeth that are half an inch apart to be in the movies.
Jay - Indeed.
Swampy - I will do so.
Myutopia - Aren't they great?
Anne - I liked yours a lot. Good job.
Lonie - Very true.
Pavel - It just seems to fit so perfectly.
Wolfe - Welcome back!
Manola's is my fav.. greener galaxies.. LOL! Spot on!
