Rules of the game: 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.  The mind is a weird and mysterious place

Ok, playing by the rules, there weren't at least 10 entries in the first 24 hours, but we have enough now, and it's within 48 hours, so.... I have to say, I really did laugh at Chris's caption. It's simple, and it fits my sense of humor. 1st place, to Chris, and PM sent. You're next! Chris S ~ Sorry Sir, nowhere to attach your new satellite TV dish, so we put it over there. OK? I liked Holy Hand Grenade's caption a lot, too. 2nd place goes to: KWSN THE Holy Hand Grenade! ~ a Saturn V rocket, as designed by Michelangelo... And Steven had a very clever entry, especially considering I named this picture "juxtaposition" in my photo file. ;~} 3rd place goes to: Steven Meyer ~ In the OED, at "juxtaposition" we find . . . Very fun, carry on, Chris S. ~Gordon The mind is a weird and mysterious place
