Man, it was tough picking my ten favorites this time. I had to exclude some really good captions to keep it down to ten. Cast your vote and then check back this Saturday to see the final results. Hopefully I've got the poll settings configured so you can actually see the damn voting button this time. Let me know if you have any trouble voting.
One housekeeping item before I get to the finalists: I have FINALLY finished reading Godel, Escher, Bach: An Eternal Golden Braid by Douglas R. Hofstader suggested by Wolfe from Wolfe's Musings. That's right, I haven't forgotten about the Lamest Contest Ever. I've just been really busy lately, and that book was 700 freakin' pages long. I will be posting my thoughts on GEB at Central Booking tomorrow. I have moved on to Foreigner by C.J. Cherryh suggested by Claire from Notes from a WildCat Fan. Hopefully this one will only take a week or two.Ok, on to the caption contest finalists:
Why the hell hasn't Snoopy shot down that damned Red Baron yet?!?
Damn it Roger, I told you to upgrade from the "snag the passengers with a grappling hook from a biplane" fare!
Rog: I can't believe you peed in the pilot's goggles.
Diesel: Why do you think he hasn't shot us yet?
Thornhill ran for his life, not knowing that Diesel had hired the pilot to drop 45 water balloons on him. What a birthday present this would be...
The pilot had despaired of ever finding a likely landing strip. Then he spotted the top of Diesel's head.

"I'm trying, Diesel, but I can't stop running in circles!"
"Shut up Roger, or I'll nail your other foot to the ground."
- crazy aunt neva
Dude, next time you wanna dine and dash at the nudie bar down by the airport, let's not do it on chimichanga night. I think I'm having a freakin' heart attack.
- Sher
Ice cream man!
Ice cream man!!
ICE CREAM MAN!!!...
Oops, sh*t. He's coming back. Run for it!
"Maybe we should have tried south by southeast."
- G
Diesel: No, Roger, I don't think it IS "just an itty bitty wittle model."

i'm honored to once again be a finalist -- especially since this week's entry was based on a very cheesy "Mommy Mommy" joke. ah well... i confess to voting once for myself, but i plan to toss my other vote (2 computers? 2 votes!) to my NBFF, because "South by Southeast" is just plain hilarious!
by the by, great post on the SNARK today, Asparagus Boy. maybe i won't have to nail your other foot to the blog, after all! ; ) xox
I have voted. Don't ask how or for whom. Democracy matters.
That's some funny stuff. I'm honored to be in the company of greatness.
Doug, based on the fact that i just cast my SECOND vote for G, and she's now so far ahead of me i can barely make out her lampshade, i believe i can guess who's caption you voted for. traitor.
wait. i just voted myself into 3rd place, didn't i? heh heh... never mind.
(Crummy Joel, had i another computer, i'd have voted once for your's as well!) xox
Well seems I can't vote - that's how democracy matters, ay Doug?
But thanks anyway for your vote NBFF - you're the best. Let me try it from home. Anyway, let me quit my whining - happy to be in the finals!
Who am I kidding? I'd really like that signed picture!
You're too kind... there was a TON of great entries this week! I have a feeling I'm gonna get my ass kicked (again), but hey - thanks for thinking of me!
brilliant... they all made me laugh, well the ones I understood!
Guess I'm too late with "Damn mileage blackouts! What's in your wallet, Thornhill?"
I voted for G, but, apparently, lots of people didn't. Democracy, like, blows.
I can't believe I made it in again. Is it, like, cheating to overwhelm you with sheer numbers like that?
Once again, I fear I'll have to vote for one that's not mine.
I voted. It was once again, a very tough call. Everyone's just so funny!!!
G, you're hilarious! Loved your caption!! ;)
Neva - Sorry, I also forgot to link to the Snark today. Too much going on these days.
Doug - Who for?
Joel - Some pretty good ones this week, for sure.
Neva - Well I think G is fated to win in a landslide, but then I voted for Perot.
G - Are you a woman? I don't think we let women vote yet.
Harmonica Man - Think of it this way -- you already beat out 50+ other captions. You're the cream of the crap!
Ann - Even the ones that I didn't understand made me laugh.
Al - Yes, but it blows less than the alternatives.
Candace - Hey, that was my strategy on Sar's old contests. Every one of your captions made me laugh. You almost made it in TWICE. (The snakes on the plane line was hilarious.) Other people don't seem to appreciate them as much as I do though. :(
Chrissy - Thanks for voting! Maybe you'll make it into the top 10 again next week. :)
n'yuck...n'yuck...n'yuck
knucklehead
I'm pleased to say that I've added you to the newest edition of A Hitchhiker's Guide To The Blogosphere.
Great Stuff!!
NOTHIN BUT BITTER HERE!!!!!!!!!!
:0) Not really! (just a little).
>:0P
The voting thingy worked much better this time. Have to say I voted fot G, her's was my favorite from the start.
That was super cool, and fun. Thanks for that. (By the way, as a reply to your comment earlier...My son has the same thing, AS)
OK, I voted although it wasn't for the best one BECAUSE NONE OF MINE MADE THE CUT! (breathing deeply, breathing calmly, happy place, happy place) So, I'll try again next time. If I'm recovered from the emotional and psychic trauma of being utterly rejected.
Ok, i voted. Isn´t it wonderful that I can vote in America now?
I understand your predicament though...these were really good ones. I had a tough time picking and access to yet another computer. It will be a long night.
*chews nails*
Nice selection once again!
Hi Diesel! And thanks - I'm honored to be in your top ten :) These caption contests are fun! (although in general I think I pretty much stink at them).
Why do I love contests? G, I voted for you. Good one!
