I think that it is envelope time. A number of cross-posting entries get a "Nice try". The best of which is N9JFE's "Kid: Yes! That drawing is exactly the nightmare I just had". And we wonder sometimes why kids just wake up screaming . . . But there were two stand-out entries between which I had a hard time choosing. Carlos, with "Nicola[ Tesla]'s great grandson", earns second place. And rob smith, with "I need MORE Espresso :-)" get the nod for the next poster. PM on the way. |

Thanks Steve. Now which way to go - obscure, hilarious, or off the wall? Bob Smith Member of Seti PIPPS (Pluto is a Planet Protest Society) Somewhere in the (un)known Universe? |

I don't think Steven was saying Rob was the winner, but so be it. And rob smith, with "I need MORE Espresso :-)" get the nod for the next poster. Sure sounds to me like he was. BTW, is your avatar Johnny Carson? Entry to make this a legit post: Kids these days...

OK, at least ten entries. So what have we got. A few that just don't come up to scratch. A couple that nearly make the mark So that leaves me with these four unwilling victims, sorry, potential winners... KWSN - Timbuktu, please! ...And step on it !!! Blurf - "I'm off to find the shrubbery....I'll just catch a ride here." Skildude - You know you're poor when you can't afford a monkey on your back. Monday - 6th house on the left please, just past that white car. (Nobody got the gratuitous prize for guessing my caption which was "I get $10 a trip to get them onto the two occupant lane"...) Now which one to win? Blurf, by a short hair and a bit of grass, from KWSN, then by by less than a goat's toe nail, we have Skildude and Monday. PM on its way.

I got the personal message, so I assume I'm the winner... (although reading Rob's message just below, it's hard to tell...) I was going under the assumption that some of you may have heard the phrase: "Timbuktu under an assumed name may not be far enough..." Will try to search my Flick® account for a funny shot: I'm currently re-building my main computer from a boot (and a few other partitions!) hard drive failure... well, it wasn't as long as I thought... .

Caption THIS! Sarah Palin (who "studied" Journalism) and her constant attacks on the "lamestream media" have reduced the NBC peacock to strutting in people's backyards. (Who cares if I'm a turkey? Just paint my wings, I'll be a peacock!) |
