Finally, I just got an email from blogger and novelist David McMahon, asking me to mention a new daily feature that he's doing on his blog called 'Telling Write From Wrong'. David says, "I would like this to become a central point for writers of any description, any nationality, any age and any interest, to get honest advice from an experienced writer. They can leave their questions as comments - and I will answer them." So any of you who are aspiring writers, head over to David's blog and hit him up with your question. I have a few myself....
Thanks to everybody for playing, voting, or just staring blankly at the computer screen. I'll be back with a splendiforous new post on Monday.

I have nothing of interest to say, I just wanted to be first.
8-p
Clint Eastwood wishes that he looked like that much of a man in pink....
As much as I like being 2nd place, the third place caption should have won.
When I grow up and develop a wicked sense of humour, I'm gonna play too.
Meanwhile, I've been voting for winners! That's progress.
I'm heading over to David's blog - I want to know why editors can't come up with more creative rejection letters.
a hearty congrats to ALL the finalists -- and tho' the one i voted for didn't win, at least he managed to finish up in the top 3!
and speaking of CrummyJoel -- ooooh, he's so pretty. have to say the color suits him. not sure why, but it does. ; )
(ps - you KNOW i was just busting your chops regarding that "other" matter, right? right?? RIGHT???)
What? I won?
*puts on fake surprised look*
This is just soooo unexpected. I ... I didn't bother preparing a speech or anything. I just had a couple of notes here. Just in case, you know.
*pulls out six pages of "notes"*
*clears throat*
Well, this is quite a surprise! First I want to thank my defeated and obviously not as clever as me fellow nominees. I couldn't have done it without your lesser contributions. Please don't be feel bad. It's no embarrassment to lose. And it's certainly no embarrassment to lose to me. Heck, lots of people have lost to me many times.
I would like to thank our generous host, Diesel. And of course, Mrs. Diesel for having the courage to believe in me and give a no-name kid from Arkansas a chance at the big time.
A few other people I'd like to thank. In no particular order.
God (in this situation God and Jesus are interchangeable, but if you have a problem with the J-Man, just assume I'm thanking the God of your choice so you won't be offended)
My mother for being my only .. uh .. biggest fan
All of the great Bloggers out there for you never ending support and inspiration.
My therapist for giving me the self-confidence to put myself out there like this.
George W. Bush for making me laugh and feel better about myself.
Britney Spears for the same reasons.
and
Giada de Laurentiis for having great cleavage.
I'm sure there are others but they just aren't important enough to be easily remembered.
Again, thank you everyone for recognizing my brilliance and how much I deserved this.
jay rocks!!
Crazy Aunt Bea....it suits me because every color suits somebody who looks that good.
Jay- nice speech. Congrats on your victory. Please thank me next time. I voted for you.
Joel- you should have won. I really voted for you. And you are lookin' good! I think installing a webcam so that people can watch you blog is the obvious next step.
Actually, I voted for Theresa.
well a belated congrats on your sorta blogiversary. and that is a funny caption,. i had a hard time choosing this round. congrats to the winner.
I went with "y not i" because he was right on. I did think "Bill and Ted" was an excellent adventure.
Thank y... Uh, HEY!... Uh, wait, so you're saying Joel makes me look old, tough and wrinkly with tons of talent and Hollywood friends out the yin-yang?
SCORE!
Oh, wait. I get it Joel looks so pansy that even I look tough?
Hey, that wasn't very nice to Joel who JUST commented on my blog and is my most favoritest person in the whole world for the day. Naaaa. :-P
(Of course, I now know why Joel used the name he did for his comment.)
As for the captions. I voted for the wiiiiner! I voted for the wiiiiner! Nanny-nanny-boo-boo! Stick your head in doo-doo!
Great caption contest...can't wait to see where your face ends up next!
Joel B: i think you look especially fetching in this shot, because that ray of light under your ear (on the left side) looks just like a long, dangling earring.
also, pink brings out the blush of your cheeks. ; )
Third place?!? YES!!! My existence has validated by the blogosphere! I shall step back in off the ledge now :)
Joel B. & Jeff - Thanks!
Great captions! But I have to admit, I liked the one that took third place the best - too funny!
Drats, I forgot to vote in the poll. I was too busy convincing other people to vote that I completely forgot. This is embarrassing...
Joel B is a Hot-T! I mean, he looks rather fetching outfitted in his charming ensemble.
I couldn't think of who Joel B. reminds me of......is he secretly Billy Corgan?
The world is a vampire.....
Congrats! :)
Now if Joel sang songs like he's doing the jingle for Meow Mix, then he'd be Billy Corrigan.
Diesel you should have had Billy in the box of mewing kittens. Would have fit right in hehe.
G'day Diesel,
Bravo to Jay. Next week I won't be late for the caption contest!
And, Diesel, thank you most sincerely (and very humbly) for the mention and link.
I look forward to your questions. Have a wonderful weekend with Mrs Diesel and the little Diesels.
Keep smiling
David
Dude! Jay so rocks the casbah.
Are you considered a novelist now? That sounds so shi-shi professional!
Mayhap you can start up a sub-blog that answers readers' questions about how to be funny.
Make them pay for the information, too.
Don't ever tell them that it can't be learned.
'Cause, see, then you wouldn't earn any money. And then why should you even start such a sub-blog?
Come to think of it, maybe just go have a Dilly Bar at the DQ.
Congrats to all the witty winners! Well done.
Well done. Well done indeed.
I have Brain Blah. Read your post. Congrats to the winners. Hi to you.
Looks like Joel got paid a visit by the WTF Truck ;)
oh shoot, what did I miss now. I missed a quiz. Oh, man. Okay, without looking I'm gonna try
adacacccccdddddeeeedacabbbbb
Waiting patiently for Monday's post. Congrats to the caption winners! Yay!!!
David's blog sounds interesting, thanks!
Signed,
Blue!
xo
That comment was hilarious! By far one of my favorites!
Glacial...
That truck visits me so often, I know the truck driver by name.
Oddly enough, he just goes by his initials OMG.....
Way to go Jay! That was a terrific caption.
Joel: Good for you. You have shown the world that real men do wear pink.
And Frogster, thanks for your vote, I hope someday, maybe someday, I'll be up there on the winner's platform.
Hah, I knew marking C for every answer on the quiz would allow me to pass. 4 out of 10 there buddy!!! That's passing (barely). And they thought laziness wouldn't lead to anything!
woohoo! :)
Keshi.
LOL that is funny!
*Check out my big blog announcement.
*keeps starring*
I love my sleeveless white "What happens on Jupiter..." shirts best. I have been asked by several gym members, where I got it from.
It's fun belonging to an in-crowd for a change :) This too, shall pass!
I totally missed this contest, but wanted to say the winners were excellent. Jeez, what if the hokey pokey is what it's all about? I think I'd better go practice it!
Congrats!
