Just a reminder of the rules, and the way things work, as I understand them... Winner posts a new picture, waits 24 hours... After the 24 hours, he/she counts the number of captions, if the sum is less than ten, he/she waits another 24... After ten captions or NO LATER THAN 48 hours, the winner of the last round declares the winner of the current round - whatever caption strikes him/her as funniest: he/she also picks a second and third place (more on that below) The winner of the round has 24 hours to post another picture to be captioned; if no picture within the 24 hours, (or notice posted by the winner that he/she is looking...) then second place is up, who also has 24 hours... During breaks in the action, (between a winner being declared and the next picture posted) general discussion may take place... Moderators should be aware that a picture posting may cross with a "general discussion" type posting. That said, I'm looking! . Hello, from Albany, CA!... |

A fine summer day in Canada. David Sitting on my butt while others boldly go, Waiting for a message from a small furry creature from Alpha Centauri. |

Venezuelan authorities deny evidence of climate change. Life on earth is the global equivalent of not storing things in the fridge. |

The day Hell (Michigan) froze over. (Or Arizona or California.) David Sitting on my butt while others boldly go, Waiting for a message from a small furry creature from Alpha Centauri. |

Judgement day Ahem, Judging time! Honorable mention goes to N9JFE, the only one who got the location correct: this is a shot of Lebec, CA, which is on the Grapevine, (the pass between California's Central Valley and the ¿glories? of ¿sunny? Southern California, for the non-Californians out there…) taken January 2013. THIRD PLACE goes to Michael Belanger for: "The Geocache is right.....about.....*there* (points to the top of the hill); let's go get the First-to-Find!" for, at least, thinking outside the box... SECOND PLACE goes to Celt Tooth for: "Ah the mountains of Saskatchewan Canada." I thought Saskattchewan was flat... but the location given is far from the actual location... FIRST PLACE and next pic goes to Rob Smith for: "Doctor, are you sure we've arrived on Hawaii in June?" which tickled my funny bone - Hawaii is just as unlikely to have snow as the Grapevine... (unless you're talking Mauna Loa, which does get snow...) PM on the way... . Hello, from Albany, CA!... |

I don't mind second place at all. I think a good contest this time around. Well done Rob. |
