Let's Win the New Yorker Caption Contest

btw for anyone who may care, the winners of last week's ILX poll were:

1) Roberto Spiralli (10 votes)
2) Hi Dere (4 votes)
3) EZ Snappin and Dr Superman(tie) (3 votes)

"Sweden? It was MOSTLY uneventful..."

(also where was the poll? I totally missed it)

"I call her Ladybird, because she's my lady."

"Milk, toilet roll, wrapping paper. Got it."

The "Let's Win the New Yorker Caption Contest" Poll: Week 1

D'oh!

Well to sum it up, Roberto Spiralli won, but in typical ILX fashion, there were concerns about bestiality. That made your caption the choice for entry. But then, I'm pretty sure no one ever entered it, because I stupidly assumed that you had seen the poll.

lol after seeing the controversy over emphasized words in a caption I have to rethink

There really wasn't any controversy, it was just me worrying over nothing, as usual. Although I still do think that an entry with no emphasized words, all else equal, will probably do better.

"I'm going to take off now; we will never speak of this weekend again."

"is this some kind of fucking joke, Steve? i could've been killed. you useless fucking cunt."

"your...wife?"

btw, Sweden one already strong candidate imo

hey does anyone know who is talking in this comic: the pilot or the flag guy?

"I just want to feel pretty! Is that so wrong?"

"she was a bitch to land today"

theres gotta be a good dont ask dont tell joke in there

that's where I was going, best I could come up with was "I believe the policy clearly states 'Don't ask'."

"I just want to feel pretty! Is that so wrong?"

"seemed to be something of a problem with drag today"

"Jeez Carl, when you said you enjoyed Transformers I wasn't expecting this"

"How was your trip Mr. Blahnik?"
"It makes the wings look great but it's MURDER on the struts."
"Do you have anything in a size 7?"

"honestly, this is not what I expected when you said it was a transatlantic flight"

"Don't ever ask Koslowski to fix your flats."

ah, somebody already there with the blahnik joke.
She was a bitch to land would be great for playboy, would never get into the new yorker. Good caption tho.

lol e3

several strong candidates already, I smell victory.

"I can't use the cobblestone runway today."

I just hope that people coming back to this thread will realize there's a new caption now.

"I said high WHEELS, goddamnit!"

"Would've been here earlier, but there was a sale at Saks."

^^ dad jokers choice

"I hate French planes."

I'm feeling the "drag" gag as a winner.

I'd almost bet that was the original caption!

feel like the drag pun will occur to other people, so would need to be worded better to stand a chance. if people want to take a crack at smartening it up be my guest.

I'll mash yours up with one of mine (not because it's better but because I'm an egomaniac):

"French planes always have a problem with drag."

"Don't worry, it changes into tennis shoes on the way to the hangar."

"No, I said we needed to ADDRESS the drag!"
