OK, another shot at something that can be captioned...

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. (One reason for the longer period is to give an initial writing stage that transitions into a voting stage towards the end of the week so that latecomers still have a chance to have their entries read.)

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 June 28, 2012.

Have fun and remember to check off some "Likes"!

Bill, once again feeling the oddball outsider, turned right to follow his own path.

Although "The Ugly Duckling" had a happy ending, being "the ugly tern" just made Frank feel like an outsider.

Another few days to submit captions and/or to vote.

I am going to close this contest Friday at 11 pm Eastern Daylight Time (just so you kow).

For anyone who has an appetite for more submissions (you CAN submit more than 1 you know) let me pose some questions to stimulate your thoughts:
What if the lead bird is talking to the photographer, what might (s)he be saying?
What if the lead bird is talking to someone (or multiple somebodies), who might (s)he be talking to and what might (s)he be saying?
What if the lead bird is griping, what might (s)he be griping about?

Best wishes to all,
Bill

Ooooooopppppsssss!

I note the original deadline for this contest was Thursday, NOT Friday.
If you prefer a Thursday cut-off please post here or you can post me by PM.

Whatever the deadline, its coming up fast.

Get in your quotes and votes before its too late.

This round of the Caption Contest is now closed.

Thanks to all of you who submitted captions.
I enjoyed each of your entries.

We had 2 runners-up, MSL and jheu02, worthy entries both.

The winner and next host is daacon.

I'm looking forward to see what challenge he comes up with next!

Thanks again to all!

Bill

[Bill2849]

I haven't heard yet from daacon.

I have PM'ed him again this evening.

I certainly hope he's off doing fun things and hope to hear from him soon.

However, there is the question as to whether to re-assign the next round of the weekly caption contest to one of the runners-up and, if so, how long to wait.

I am proposing to go another day or so, if that seems OK.

Feel free to post here or to PM me to let me know your ideas oon this.

Thanks,
Bill
