One day in Trafalgar Square, a wolf noticed a goat walking by dragging a cabbage on a piece of string. "Excuse me, Sir, why are you dragging that cabbage around on a piece of string?" "Well, Officer, it doesn't come when it's called!" |

You know that dream where suddenly you're in a car doing 100mph and you can't drive because you've turned into a cat. |

Not entirely sure of the rules, but I believe we have enough entries? I'll wait till midnight Pacific to give the colonists one more chance. |

My apologies for leaving this open so long. I just now finished rebuilding my computer after a major glitch. So now I'm faced with an impressive variety of entries proving quite difficult to rank. Start with honorable mention to KWSN-HHG for the only entry that actually hit both pics with a single caption. "Cubic Feline drivers - even worse than Female Oriental drivers". (We'll gloss over the profiling.) Looking first at the cube captions... 3rd was Stephen Meyer with "Wolf, Goat, Cabbage. The next-gen of Rock, Paper, Scissors." 2nd was rob smith with "Goat eats cabbage - happy goat; Wolf eats goat - happy wolf; Wolf eats cabbage -wolf gets bad wind; Cabbage wins!" 1st Most interesting lateral interpretation of the cube was Chris S with "Jason's design for a secure framework to store produce from predators wasn't coming on too well ...." Now on to the uberkat... 4th Best of the "Beep Beep/Out of my Way" cluster was Steven Meyer with "OUTTA MY WAY! I HAZ 30 SECONDS TO GET THIS PIZZA DELIVERED OR ITZ OUTTA MY PAYCHECK!" 3rd John Mcleod VII got close with "Watch the Birdie!" which I assume referred to a speed camera though he didn't actually say that. 2nd For originality Monday with "You know that dream where suddenly you're in a car doing 100mph and you can't drive because you've turned into a cat." 1st But for lateral thinking combined with succintness Julie wins with "O SOLE MIOOOO...!" So spinning a coin between Chris S and Julie....it's Chris S. PM on it's way. P.S. If you think your entry was better than these, it's probably that I didn't understand it :) |

I think the framework one was really just a teaser, the real one was the cat picture, as you intimated. And as I have won quite a few of these now, as a gentleman, I would like to let Julie take the win. If she declines then I will do it :-) According to the rules (1st post in this thread) "Winner posts the next picture; if the winner doesn't respond in 24 hours, the second place is up, etc." So as judge I will declare Julie to be the 2nd place and Chris can just lean back. Go Julie, go... |
