The bottom of the barrel was meant to be read as three separate captions. The Vonage commercials always mentions 'people do stupid things,' (like breaking of the nose of the sphinx) so I threw out the "woo hoo's" to make people think of that.
At least somebody is reading down to the bottom of the post ;)

I felt like mine was more of a bottom of the barrel, but I'll take first. BOOYAH!
Sorry Jay Tea, it doesn't hold true. The previous contest only had damn in the second place, and the previous 3-4 contests don't have it at all in the top three. Though I did have to check to make sure I hadn't established some subconscious pattern.
I always thought that Kevin was a sucker for some the Lewinski and Washingtonienne type references, though "pull my finger" was usually good for runner-up as you should know. ;)

Wow, I'm suprised that won. I wasn't sure if enough people would know who David Berkowitz was to get it. ;>
Technically I'm the only one that had to get it. Blogger's seem to have a fairly good age spread, and until you get some clue or statement as to someone's age its pretty easy to misguess someones age.

Barney emerged today none the worse for wear. After de-briefing in Germany, the dog will be reunited with the Commander-in-Chief.

I'm happy with Honorable Mention,
I'm very fond of, "You want me step this way? But why?"

But McGehee would revolt if one of my own captions won.

As if this picture wasn’t funny enough. Maybe I just felt overly generous, but this time I chose to extend the Honorable Mention section as there were just too many excellent captions. If you haven’t had a chance you should read through all the captions for this contest as a majority of them are pretty good. Bithead and Crerar were well on the way to a first place tie until “The Doctor” placed his/her entry.
The Winners
First: The Doctor – Some reporter from Chicago gave âem to me to wear tonight at the Rumsfeld press conference.
Second (tied):Bithead – So, YOUâRE the new communications officer, eh? Second (tied):Crerar – Alright soldier â you can guide my Humvee tonight.
Third:Brandon – Why? Because no one could shoot Rudolph!
Honorable Mention:
Garry and the Samoyeds – âI canât wear these? Whatever happened to âbe all you can be?ââ
Laurence Simon – The hard part was cutting the holes in my helmet to stick them through it.
Zong Ren – Donât worry â it happens to a lot of guys the first time they get perfumed letters.
David Harris – âI have to wear the nose, too?â
McGehee – Corporal, if you say, âCan you hear me now?â one more time, Iâm gonna frag you!
Dave Schuler – Between the long time away from home and the âno fraternizationâ I am really getting horny.
Anna S. – What antlers? (editor: This one made me think of Marty Feldman’s “Hump, What Hump?” in Young Frankenstein)
Rodneys Bottom of the Barrel
“As long as Rumsfeld is in charge this does not violate Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell, so you are required to continue to wear the new GAYDAR 2000 young fella.”
“So where’s your partner, the one they call Rocky”
“Jees, I wish it had never gotten out that my Grandmother did grow up in Lapland, and that she was run over by a reindeer.”
“I know its rutting seasaon, but leave Cpl. Gonzales alone.”
KLINGER!!

First: Hermoine – “Anybody know how a doggone muff works?”
Second:Sgt. Fluffy – They’re ready for inspection Major Barney.
Third:McGehee – A second later, Bush acted instinctivelyâwith the result that he got a Barney-shaped scar on his forehead.
Honorable Mention:
Maniakes – “Look what I got for the twins!”
“Good trade, sir!”
Lij – President Bush comments on the slippery slope ahead, “donât worry Barney, itâs still donât ask, donât tell!”
Leopold Stotch – Airmen OâMalley and Perez now understand what John Kerry meant when he said that “if given a second term, George W. Bush will screw the pooch.”
Still Venting the Ghosts of Elections Past
Laurence Simon – Be glad I won, boys. Otherwise, youâd be picking Teresaâs crap up off of the tarmac.
Leopold Stotch – I know Barneyâs a boy and all but â¦
Under his breath Airman OâMalley whispers to Airman Perez, “Iâd rather salute this bitch than that thing John Kerry married.”
Bithead – Look, Dubya, I donât CARE who cleaned the plane when⦠Iâm tellinâ ya.. I can still smell that idiot, Buddy in there, and I ainât goinâ IN there, OK?
The Bonus Caption contest is still underway until tomorrow PM, and the Thursday contest is already off to a fast start.

I'm not sure if there's anything honorable about that entry ...
Second: Maggie – Why can’t you ask for directionsâ¦.we wonât be able to see the STAR until darkâ¦now the other two Wise men are going to beat us there!
Third:Ferdinand T. Cat – Due to a shipping error, Santa found himself with a camel instead of a reindeer, and the wrong size sleigh.
Zod – A strike by the Reindeer Union forced Santa to improvise.
Cassandra – [voice from rear of camel]
“It never fails⦠every year that twit Rodney dresses up in the red suit and hands out all the toys and we get stuck with this sweaty frigginâ camel suitâ¦whaddaya say we jump him Christmas Eve and swipe his milk and cookies?”
Rodneys Bottom of the Barrel
(explanation of previously posted caption)
Since Santa only comes once a year, by the time Christmas rolls around even the reindeer have concerns about becoming a Dromedary.
(Dromedary = Camel = “Humped” Animal)
Camel: “I beg your pardon but I really think Teddy Kennedy meant to ask for Chocolate Covered Caramels for Christmas”

I'm sure you're just humouring me, Rodney. My comments aren't even funny. Still, I'll take the prix.
The Festivus Edition of the OTB Caption Contest is over.
They were nowhere near as creepy as I’d hoped, but the winners are:
First Place: Boyd — When the Hamilton kids learned that Santa Claus was also a Roman Catholic priest, they displayed mixed reactions.
Second Place: The Ubiquitous Rodney Dill — Little Timmy jumps and drops his sister, as Santa âwarms his hands.â
Third Place: Duffer — Jane likes sitting on Santaâs left knee; Dick ainât so sure about sitting on Santaâs right knee; Young Emily suddenly remembers that Santa has only two knees.
I don’t get it but it sounds disturbing:
Christopher Cross — Only little Tina Baker enjoyed the family tradition of âTriple Dutch Oven.â
For added post-Holiday cheer, check out this tribute to my best friend on her birthday.

Just how creepy did you want?
Having scored a triple 20 with his first throw in this round of Elf Cricket. Timmy hoisted his next elf for a throw at the bullseye, and a win.

First:McGehee – Rumsfeld: “These are not the condolence letters youâre looking for.” Reporter: “These are not the condolence letters weâre looking for.” Rumsfeld: “Move along.” Reporter: “Letâs move along.”
Second:Sortapundit – You wanna know why I didnât sign those letters? I got The Claw in â82 during a Pacman tourney. Havenât been able to hold a pen since.
Third(tied):Kate – “As you know, you go decorate the Christmas tree with the ornaments you have ⦠not the ornaments you might want or wish to have at a later time.” Third(tied):Jason – Well, thatâs no ordinary rabbit. Thatâs the most foul, cruel, and bad-tempered rodent you ever set eyes on! Heâs got huge, sharp â eh â he can leap about â look at the bones!
Honorable Mention:
bryan – Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld shows proper knuckleball form during a press conference announcing his tryout for the (possible) Washington Nationals. “Iâve been throwing knuckleballs past the national media for three years now,” Rumsfeld said. “I think I can put a few past Sammy Sosa and that juiced-up Barry â whatâs his name? â Bonds.”
KJ – Tired of waiting for nude pyramids and sleep deprivation to work, Rumsfeld decides to personally administer his Vulcan mild meld technique to get the Al Kae Duh prisoners talking.
Cassandra – “Let me state for the record, that smiley thing-a-majigger is not official US Army-issue”
“Itâs some crazy thing Joyner rigged up. I canât be held responsible” (editor: seemed like they belonged together)
Leopold Stotch already has a Festivus Edition contest started. The abnormal Monday/Thursday schedule of caption contests will be a little erratic over the holiday week between Christmas and New years.
Rodneys Bottom of the Barrel (below)
“…but I’m not a monster, I have the heart of the child, I keep it in my desk drawer.”
AP BREAKING – At a press conference Secretary of Defense Rumsfeld blames Dr. James Joyner for the smiley face icons that keeps showing up on the condolence e-mails.
DRUDGE REPORTING – Even though Donald Rumsfeld has previously blamed Dr.James Joyner for the condolence letter email smiley face fiasco he later confirmed his belief that Cassandra was behind the mishap.
Rumsfeld is quoted as saying, “It gives me no pleasure to admit that the recherche blog princess is behind this debacle.”
“Then close your eyes and tap your heels together three times …”
