"I'm Pregnant"

They seem to have put two pics up as the new one in 2 different pages: http://www.newyorker.com/images/2012/10/01/p290/121001_contest_p290.jpg

"Excuse me, do you know if sheep are allowed on this train?"

xpost "Shouldn't you be out there campaigning instead of relaxing in a lawn chair? We spent a lot of money on this campaign bus with your picture on it!"

the finalists for the coffee comic are terrible

But the one for the hedz ones..

The PI/bed one, the only half-way decent caption came second. Popular vote, I guess.

Anyway, it's this one this week, after all...

"I remember when this was all fields!"

that's great!

Yeah that's perfect

what's going on with the guy's head?

I would submit that one, with the slight edit of swapping out "fields" for "pastures"

Oh, I submitted "fields" already; too english?

idk, it still works. I just think of sheep grazing in a pasture vs. farmers plowing a field. But it's a subtle distinction and it doesn't ruin the joke.

Plus I guess it really was all fields once so maybe fields works better.

It's a well known phrase innit.

ah, I see. yeah, I think "fields" is the one.

thanks.

11 million results for "when it was all fields", 2 for "... pastures".

OIC

Well it works extra well because you always meet people in NYC who tell you how they "remember when this was a Puerto Rican neighborhood. No $4 coffee or farm-to-table restaurants."

I think "I remember when it was all fields round here" might be more of a UK thing?

probably. it's sad you americans never had fields.

until you 'traded' with the red indians...

"Excuse me - can this train fit all my fucking sheep?"

"I'm a sheeple person"

"Is this the A or the C?"

"So, I've decided to take my flock back underground... to stop it falling into the wrong hands."

"You won't find a fresher gyro anywhere"

"The common behavior of mankind is the system of reference by means of which we interpret an unknown language."

"No, I'm not 'the guy from that reality show'"

"Fuckin' Ikea sweaters"

"sheep ! sheep ! aaiaaigrgh!!"

^lollll

guttural effects in general are good

"Whoa, Nellie! Let the people off first!"

"These sheep all use Twitter- fuck me I'm old!"

"Ladies and gentlemen, I am but a poor shepard. I do not rob or steal."

Or, "Wait til you hear their version of Guantanamera"

"I'm not racist, but this place is starting to look like a zoo."

"Sorry, but sheep are bah-ed from this train"

"No, I do not fuck them."

"None of these sheep have a valid ticket - they're all turnstile jumpers!"

"Come and meet
those dancing sheep!
On the avenue
I'm taking you to...
42nd Street"

The official entries:

"Come on! Do you have any idea how long it took to get through the turnstiles?"
"Sheep Meadow? No, we wanna see the 'Seinfeld' diner."
"For your information, I have a client who has a lot of trouble sleeping."

I think we're done, here...

Although..

Ugh! At least a few of the ilx ideas were way better than those.

"it's a fuck-us group."

"Why is your divorce taking so long?"

"There are an awful lot of people working where we're trying to have sex."

"i said cock-us, not caucus!!!!!"
