Last Week’s Weekend Caption Contest™ Winners

Last week’s Weekend Caption Contest™ was substantially affected by our server crash, and the inability of some to reach our backup site. We still did manage to get a pretty good turnout – all things considered – and some excellent captions. The assignment last week was to caption the following picture:

1) (914) – “A pew to a thrill“

2) (fustian) – “I could use a new intern…“

3) (IowaRight) – “It depends on what the definition of “sick” is…“

4) (sarahconnor2) – “I see choirs singing, full of hot dames.
Hillary’s in the Mid-East, ain’t that a shame.
And I think to myself,
What a wonderful world!
“

5) (Al Pennam) – “Dear God,
I’m just sitting here thinking about judgment day, and judicial activism, and how laws are sometimes open to different interpretations.
Now, Lord, about those ten commandments…
“

6) (Rachel Edith) – “Speech … Check.
Clean sheets … Check.
Viagra … Check.
“

As voting didn’t work on the backup site, there’s no The Readers Choice Award last week. Winners for the current contest will be announced shortly.
