Ok, folks. Mrs. Diesel has picked her favorites, and now it's up to you to pick the winner. There were over 115 entries this time, so there was some very stiff competition.I didn't enter this time, but if I had, I might have submitted something like this:
"He's not a spambot, guys! Leia is a real princess, and she needs my bank account number so she can get her money off Alderaan!"
But since I didn't, here are the contenders. The poll should appear at the bottom of the post. If it doesn't, you're probably viewing this from a PC at your workplace that has javascript disabled. Also, you should probably get back to work.
"Tell us the location of Kenny Skywalker NOW!"
- Joel B.
The Storm Troopers cornered what they believed to be an Albino Wookiee.
- Sarah
"Didn't you read the sign on The Death Star? NO SOLICITORS! Take your droid and your book and get out of here!"
- the frogster
What? All I said was these aren't the droids you're looking for.
Troopers: Yeah? Well we're not falling for that one again.
- Charlie
"Et tu, R2D2?"
- david mcmahon
Blissfully unaware of what a "carbon freeze" actually entailed, Diesel considered whether he should ask if there were any other flavors available.
- wyo
"R2D2, point to the place on the doll where he touched you."
- Chris C
Note to Self: "Stormpoopers" isn't funny.
- crazy aunt bea
"We're from the Emperor's Halitosis Brigade. Use the floss, Luke. Use the floss."
- Stushie
Wow, you really CAN see yourself in the bald spot...Mort, come check this out!
- Brad
I will post the results on Friday rather than Saturday, due to popular pressure and my not feeling like writing a post for Friday.

I can't believe I wasn't picked. This thing is so rigged.
nice picks mrs diesel. I voted too. hehehehe
Can I tell you how much nicer it is to choose from 10 than 110. Jeez!
How can I be more funny...I never get picked! Tell your wife i love her and she is beautiful! Will schmoozing her work for next time?
As for your caption, Albino Wookiee is my fave.
Second is "Point to the place on the doll..."
Your wife chose well!

Re; Your comment at my place...Cleansing yourself of bland, tasteless foods eh? Too funny Diesel!
I have cheated twice, a hot dog and a coffee. Oh, and a square of chocolate. Life is still beautiful. I will be totally honest with my results at the end of the week...I'm sure you will find some humour in it!
Can I steal your results for my post on Friday? I don't feel like writing Friday's post, either...
whoa -- i am SO honored to be one of the top 10 this week! not with my personal favorite caption, mind you, but that's beside the point. the point, which looks just like a "vibroblade" out of its sheath, is that it's a thrill to be here. thanks Mrs. Diesel!
i'm thinkin' my "Stormtrooper Review" offering was probably only funny to anyone who's seen/adored Blazing Saddles. (specifically, the end of the film) just sayin'... ; )
Redneck - Yes, but it's rigged with love.
Burfica - She did a good job, huh?
Howard - Oh, it's easy if you have a dartboard. Kidding!
Jenny! - Well, it's anonymous, so it's not that she doesn't like you. Wait, would you rather be unliked or unfunny? Kidding! Again! Actually, with 100+ captions, it's getting pretty tough to break into the top 10.
Gillian - I voted for that one myself. Good luck with the purge.
Jen - Actually, you can if you want. Just gimme a link and I'm happy. :)
C.A.B. - Well, the wife snickered at it, so there you go.
Another great round of fantastic captions...but my vote has to go to...drumroll please (just trying to make it more exciting)....Crazy Aunt Bea!
Do I get bonus points for sucking up the blog's author by using his own source material?
Can't believe I lost my caption comment cherry in front of 110 other people.
Honestly, I don't remember anything after my fourth shot of Jack....
Kudos to Ms. D on her choices.
I'm registered Independent but voted for Chris C. anyway.
I made the finals! These are my weak spot when it comes to humor. Thanks to those who voted for me. :)
If I win, I promise free captions for all regardless of race, color, sexual preference, or gender!
Thanks for voting my Halitosis caption in...it took my breath away.
Wow! That was the hardest one yet! I could have easily gone with three different ones.
Great captions, you all.
LOL ... even comments about the captions are funny! I think Joel should get some bonus points, because his reference led me to read Kenny's cover letters again, and I just KNOW that will help me the next time I'm writing one of my own. Like, tomorrow. ;)
Very funny stuff! I could've gone three ways myself. Wait. That doesn't sound right.
wow, tha's quite a photo :)
Awwwwwwwwwww Yeeeeeeeeeahhhhhhh. I'm honored. I really thought Joel's caption about shaved Ewoks doing the macarena was going to run away with it this week. But it's good to be in the running.
and to think i came thisclose to going with the more salacious "Stormschtooper", instead of the more juvenile "Stormpooper"! wonder how that one would have fared... (glad Mrs. D chuckled at the BS-referenced caption -- i couldn't help but giggle thinking about those cowboys doing the Varsity Drag, and, you know me, i lovelovelove to share a good laugh. or a mediocre one, if that's the best i can get.) ; )
Several really good ones this time! I had a hard time choosing!
Doubtful, though, that I will be disappointed with the outcome.
I voted!
Some day I will be witty enough to leave a caption. (Actually, I did once...was absolutely crushed...didn't make the finals).
(FYI - the comment you left still makes me laugh...such is the healing power of laughter!)
115! that's insane!
well, I don't like not being in the top 10% (I don't know why, when it came to schooling I was never anywhere near the top 10%).
BTW, I featured your blog in my post today--I hope you don't mind that I "lifted" a photo and aren't going to threaten to sue or break one of my legs
Hahaha! Those are great captions! What a difficult decision! I casted my vote! Sheeesh...this is why I've stopped partaking in these contests! These guys are just too funny to ever compete with! ;) Good luck to all! Diesel, I wish we could vote for more than one caption!! LOL!
I refuse to vote cos I think my take on the title was much better than most of the chosen ones here LOL!
Keshi.
Oh man I cant beleive I wasnt picked.... is there some one I can bribe for this...
I surely didn't vote for Aunt Bea since she ripped off MY Storm Pooper comment, and made it to the Top 10.
I can't believe none of mine were picked, oh well I shall try harder next time.
Elasticwaistbandlady:
OH MY GOSH!! i am SOOOOOOOO sorry!! i swear i didn't see your caption! (i tend to be very ADDled on any given day) but you are certainly justified in thinking i ripped you off. yeesh -- considering the fact i had no fewer than 6 or 7 entries this week, it figures one that has "similar" content to someone else's would make it into the finals.
*smacks self in head* i'm such a d'ohpe!
seriously, i'm veryveryveryveryvery sorry -- not to mention embarrassed. believe me when i tell you my ripping-offage was completely unintentional. if you like, i'll ask Diesel to remove my caption or keep it but add your name. OR give you credit, should it land in the top 3. whatever... my bad = your choice! : )
elasticwaistbandlady - Sorry, that was my fault. I try to eliminate duplicates before I give the list to Mrs. Diesel, and somehow yours got left out. If Aunt Bea's makes it into the top 3, I'll make sure to give you an honorable mention.
Absolutely. I've been known to fight to the death over any and all Pooper references that I think belong to me. Maybe I should just change my name to elasticwaistbandPOOPER and have it trademarked.
Forgive my outburst. I was a little pouty POOPER this morning. Especially when I had to concede that Sarah and Chris C. were the funniest.
in that case I think u need to choose the titles next time Mr.Diesel :)
Keshi.
I am torn between two captions...I'll figure it out by tonight!
thumbs up to you and the Missus for being able to sort through all the incoming comments and usually pick teh best ones. We appreciate the effort, although soemtimes we are sad we don't make it...you two are doing a great and fair job. Thought I'd mention!
