The New Yorker cartoon caption contest is a fun little diversion that I would recommend to you all. I happen to be a finalist this week. (About f****** time!) I would appreciate your vote. I'm the fellow from Petaluma. (No need to mention my name in any responses.)

The first entry is also fairly strong; however, I submit that mine is the truly surreal response. If anyone is on the fence about whom they should vote for, I would be happy to explain in laborious critical detail why most of my entries in prior weeks should have won.
I also Googled the author of the first caption. He has a blog about his two-year-old. What a putz.
