April 24-May 1, Caption this!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Thanks to MSL for hosting the last contest. It was a great image that produced a lot of funny captions. I Having to find an image from my many thousands of images is tough, but decided I like the one posted here We will keep the "new" rules" brought in by MSL, but the experiment is still ongoing.

NOTE: After discussion with a couple of members we are going to try to change the contest a little. This is a bit of an experiment, so any feedback is appreciated.

The contest will run for 1 week (instead of 72 hours). The idea is that for the first few days (say 4 or so) the emphasis will be on the addition of new captions without any Likes being added, while in the last few days the emphasis will be on noting which posts you like. The reason for this change is to give later entries a better chance of picking up some attention.

Here comes the next round.
Please be sure to : Register Your Likes among the entries.

--- Rules ---

The object of this game is to come up with the most humorous, impactful, thoughtful, original caption for the displayed photo that will collect the highest number of 'likes.'

Submissions can be of any type - caption, limerick, de-movitational, poem, speech - whatever inspires you to write something for the photo.
Contestants may submit more than one entry but it must be in a separate post .

Important: whether you submit an entry or not, please 'like' any posts you feel deserve it!

Thread starter is the moderator and they must post their own original photo at the start of the thread.
In an effort to keep the pictures fresh, respondents have 1 week (see above) to submit their entries, after which time the number of 'likes' will be totaled to determine a winner. In case of a tie the thread starter must choose their favorite to break the tie. (It is somewhat ambiguous whether it is the total likes a person gets, or the single entry with the most likes that should be the winner, and we are leaving it up to each host to interpret as desired.)

The winner of that contest will be notified by PM by the current contest host and will become responsible for posting the next original work to be captioned.
In the event the winner does not feel they have content they can use for the contest or for any reason they can decline via PM to the host and the second most liked entrant will be designated to host the contest

This installment of the contest will close on May 1, 2012.

My personal title is: Arthritis

I've not played this game for a few weeks. The new rules seem a good idea. Here's my caption...

The fingers are a bit overcooked, don't you think?
