The Target Dog Edition OTB Caption ContestTM is now over.

AP Photo/Jaime Puebla
Excellent captions, I was surprised it took so long for someone to come up with the take off on the Target Dog. I am pandering a bit with the list of honorable mentions, but this contest just seemed to bring out a funny vein in many of the commentors.
The Winners
Ne Plus Ultra: RightWingDuck – Unfortunately, the tryouts for the new Target Dog Mascot turned out quite differently than expected.
Second: Harry – Tank Commander Ralph Watkins winces as he realizes he has unwittingly let loose the dog of war.
Third: LJD – “I think he’s gettin’ ready to leave a road-side bomb!”
Honorable Mention:
Laurence Simon – We meet again, Teddy Salad.
Bithead – Mike Dukakas meets the enemy
OJ – Captain, we got that filthy dog Zarqawi!
Myopist – Swear to God, if it cocks a leg I’m shooting it. I spent four hours washing this tank.
Dougrc – Reminiscent of the 1989 Tianenmen Square incident, Fluffy stood her ground for half an hour before slowly backing out of the way of the advancing tanks.
Rachel Edith – President Bush made that surprise visit to the troops last week. Scheduling glitches resulted in presidential dog, Barney, being left behind in a fox hole. Barney emerged today none the worse for wear. After de-briefing in Germany, the dog will be reunited with the Commander-in-Chief.
Roark – Hold Fire! …It’s not a FRENCH poodle.

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

Second (tied): Bithead – So, YOU’RE the new communications officer, eh?
Second (tied): Crerar – Alright soldier – you can guide my Humvee tonight.
Third: Brandon – Why? Because no one could shoot Rudolph!
Honorable Mention:

Laurence Simon – The hard part was cutting the holes in my helmet to stick them through it.

Dave Schuler – Between the long time away from home and the “no fraternization†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)

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 “warms his hands.â€
Third Place: Duffer — Jane likes sitting on Santa’s left knee; Dick ain’t so sure about sitting on Santa’s 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 “Triple Dutch Oven.â€

The Nice Pants Edition OTB Caption ContestTM is now over.

Yahoo – Reuters Pictures
The Winners
First: David Harris – Tragedy strikes as the letterbox collapses onto the Blue Man Group during a performance.
Second: McGehee – I always figured blue voters were absent from the neck up, but it’s worse than I thought.
Third: Pile On – Coming next season on MTV a new series entitled Pimp My Dungarees.
Rodney’s Bottom of the Barrel
AP BREAKING: While Donald Rumsfeld concurs that Islamo-fascist have been aggressively pursuing the acquisition of Nuclear weapons he is quoted as saying, “It affords me no small pleasure that the terrorist community has neither the knowledge nor the tools required to effectively handle such materials, let alone smuggle them undetected across the U.S. border with Mexico in the dark of night.”
As the Blue Man Group was not previously thought of as environmental activists, they awed the entertainment industry by displaying their stance on nuclear waste.
Somebody’ll have to explain Dodd’s entry to me.
Another Contest will start shortly

The Michael Moore BLT Special Edition OTB Caption ContestTM is now over.

Yahoo! News – World Photos – AP
The Winners
First: Roger – Mr. CarlsonHerb Tarlick: We wanted to give free hams as part of the newest WKRP promotion and we took a bunch of pigs up in the hot air balloon but, God as my witness, I really thought pigs could fly.
Second: Mark Hasty – The US Army unveiled its newest counter-terrorist weapon today, the semi-guided pork bomb. Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld proclaimed that radical Islamists would find it “”both devilishly effective and sinfully delicious.—
Third: Chrees – The X Prize drew a diverse list of applicants hoping to win the $10 million reward…
Thanks to all the participants, but that’s not all this contest had a large number of funny captions, so I have to recognize a few more.
Honorable Mention:
Lasting Magic – “Today in the news, Babe is putting a face on a constitutional amendment to allow natural born and foreign-born pigs to become president.â€
keith taylor – You know why the spectators are carrying umbrellas? Once farm animals learned to fly, rain was the least of our worries.
Kate – James Carville on Meet The Press Nov.18, 2008
Rodney’s bottom of the barrel
In the end only John Madden got the call right that the play was not reviewable.
Another Contest will be coming soon.
UPDATE: McGehee gets an assist on the name change for First Place. and Denise offers this clarification (with one minor edit):
Les was reporting from the scene: “Oh, the humanity! The pigsturkeys are hitting the ground like sacks of wet cement! Not since the Hindenberg tragedy has there been anything like this!â€

The Where’s WaldoJohnson Edition OTB Caption ContestTM is now over.

Yahoo! News – World Photos – AP
The Winners
First: Maniakes – You know why it’s called a kilt? ‘Cuz that’s what we did to the last fella’ that called it a skirt.
Second: Pile ON – And here I thought Waldo was hard to find.
Third: Gary – â€one of these things is not like the others.
one of these things is kind of the same. can you guess which one…â€
Thanks to all the participants. There were many funny captions entered for this picture.
Rodney’s bottom of the barrel
The sitting went well for awhile , but the decorum of the event never recovered
after, Rodnick, (2nd row from the top, roughly centered above the Queen)
insisted on displaying his “John 3:16” sign.
I think I’m already regretting the Pig picture, that started this morning. It appears that judging will be much harder with that picture as there are already many excellent captions.

The One Size Fits All Edition OTB Caption ContestTM is now over.
The ability to be humorous seems to be cyclical, and McGehee’s been on a roll lately, so it’s about time for the worm to turn

Yahoo! News – Photo Reuters
but not today.
The winners:
Best non-partisan: McGehee – “Those early exit polls had an effect on me, I’ll admit.
Best Kerry Slam: Chris Lawrence – “I’m just sayin’ John Kerry may have been overcompensating with that shotgun.â€
Best Bush Slam: Mark – The device was only this small, Tim, so I was shocked like everyone else when people were able to see it protruding out of the President’s jacket during the debate.
Best Suggestion on What to do about Michael Moore: Dodd – Rove: “The phrase ‘rule of thumb’ derives from a Texas law that a man is allowed to beat a rented mule as long as the rod is no thicker than this.â€
Thanks to all the participants. I will be going back to First, Second, and Third places for the most part, but this contest seemed better judged this way. And now from the Bottom of the Barrel.
“Bush’s attention Span?”
“The suppositories are this big but they do a good job of cleaning out the effects of the Kerry Kool-aid.”
“Did we cheat at the elections? How dare you…, Well yea, just a little.”
“Pardon me, Are you finished with those Jelly donuts?”
“Tight race? Was this a tight race? Yeah, right. About as tight as Paris Hilton.”
” ’bout this much Tequila”
“A little compact with a mirror, about yay big. Ever since I lost that sucker I can never keep my hair looking right.”
“The Bush twins are so cute I could just pinch ’em.”
“Rodney Dill? Gherkin, definitely Gherkin”

2nd April: Finally, proof that the soldiers of the North Korean army don’t have their heads up their asses…preferring instead the ass of the guy in front
3rd Matt: In North Korea, this is the only way to get new shoes.
Honorable Mention, John Lemon: North Korean soldiers ready themselves to be active participants in Kim Il-Sung’s annual Bowling the Troops Day. The beloved leader proclaims that being rolled over by a ten foot stone ball helps to strengthen the Communist Spirit.

The winners:
1st AprilGabby: Rumsfeld chuckling, “For God’s sakes man, someone taped a ‘I am hung like a donkey’ sign on your back.”
2nd Nan: Get down with your bad self… Rumsfeld and Franks entertain the troups with an impromptu rap.
3rd Daniel Morris: U.S. Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld and CENTCOM’s boss, General Tommy Franks explain to an live audience what a short, little pip-squeak former Iraqi “strongman“Saddam Hussein turned out to be. “He doesn’t even come up to here,†said Mr. Rumsfeld. Not to be out-done, General Franks replies, “I’ve got more ‘strong man’ in my little pinky than that SOB! He’s the size of an ace of spades. Hoo-ah!â€
Usually, longer entries don’t do well in OTB caption contests, but Daniel’s mini-play was fairly entertaining.

This one got a lot more responses than the infamous rhino photo. . . .
Photo from YahooNews

That’s It, I know I see that ring before…She is the Dark Lord!”

CAPTION CONTEST WINNERS:
Photo from YahooNews
1st Nan with “Hey, wait! No, guys! That’s not Michael Moore.”
2nd Matt with “Rumsfeld finally tied down.” and
3rd April with “Inspired by the race scene in Disney’s “Swiss Family Robinson,” and undaunted by an apparent dearth of zebras and ostriches, natives have lassoed a rhino for use in the village’s version of the Daytona 500. Unfortunately, the rhino is a strung out crack addict who sold his tusk for a fix and is now comatose.”
Thanks to all the entrants. Another photo for your captioning pleasure will be forthcoming. (The next one will be a little easier, I promise….)

The most recent OTB caption contest has ended.

The winners:
1st April with “The Pope, after a three-day bender–“Why in the name of all that is holy did I do those Yeagermeister shots?” ”
2nd McFly with “my new look… I call it “Orange Steel”* and
3rd Dain Brammage with “God-Damn-It Cardinal Lustiger, you made me loose count…now I have to start all over again! 1…2…3…4…”
My thanks to all the entrants for participating. Another contest will come soon, assuming Blog*Spot doesn’t crash again.
*I’m told this is a very hysterical reference to the movie Zoolander, which I have not seen and don’t plan to. In lieu of watching the movie, I’ll give McFly the benefit of the doubt. (I have seen all three installments of Back to the Future.)
Note: I’m rather disappointed that none of the entries measured Ed Asner. The resemblence is striking.

CAPTION CONTEST WINNERS: Monday’s contest has ended.
Courtesy SMH
The winners:
1st John Lemon with “Hah! We Turks don’t need your stinkin’ US cash. I have $1.12 right here in my pocket!”
2nd Comrade with “I’d like to our brother Hussien for all the wonderfull things he has done to help my family at this time of need. This money will go to the education and training of my dear remaining son until he, Inshalla, joins his brother at the side of the most holy martyrs of Islam.”
3rd April with “In the face of an American invasion, the Iraqis prepare to welcome the American soldiers with gifts. Some display amazing creativity, using the nation’s soon to be worth more as toilet paper currency for origami… ‘Come, my children, we have much work to do to fold ten thousand tiny doves.'”
I would note, however, that “caption” usually denotes something short and pithy. They are seldom mini-plays.
Last night’s contest is still open and already has some good entries. The deadline for entries is 8am EST Thursday.
I already have a photo, courtesy of Poliblogger, for tomorrow’s contest.

CAPTION CONTEST WINNERS: More responses than usual to the Colin Powell photo caption contest. The winners:
1st Really. PoliBlogger with, “Two more last chances, and after that, no more. We mean it this time!”
2nd April with, “Little Bunny G.I., hopping through the desert,
Scooping up Iraqis and snappin’ their scrawny necks.”
3rd PoliBlogger with, “I typically need two extra strength Advil after I talk to the French.”
April’s quote and John Lemon’s entry, “OK, France. You want peace. But here is what you are going to get” may be funnier than I think they are but I am not all that up on my children’s lit references.
