Your Vote Needed

Strangler Lewis · 10-29-2006, 11:03 PM

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.

Congratulations! I submitted a caption once, but didn't make it to the finals. You've got my vote.

You've got my vote! Good luck, I hope you are the winner!

DreadPirateRoberts · 10-30-2006, 08:33 AM

You've got my vote.

I voted for you, too. But seriously because yours was the best choice (and I found it hard to believe that one of the three even made it to the finals).

Ghoulish Delight · 10-30-2006, 09:05 AM

Yup, definitely would have voted for yours either way...makes me want to start entering.

Excellent caption! I would also have voted for you even if I didn't know you

Motorboat Cruiser · 10-30-2006, 09:58 AM

You have my vote as well.

Well, I wouldn't have voted for you if I didn't know you, primarily because I wouldn't have known about this contest. (Yours is the best entry, btw).

But, now I do, so I did!
