Let's Win the New Yorker Caption Contest

So, uh, if that's ever the contest drawing, there's my entry.

let's win the imaginary new yorker caption contest

weird, I kinda miss these threads

Anyone is welcome to keep them going if you want! I've been ultra unreliable the past two weeks because I've been relocating to a different city, visiting friends out of town, and starting a new job. Hopefully next week I'll be able to set it up (which just means saving a copy of the new caption on tinypic.com so the link won't disappear in the future, and starting a new poll thread later in the week), but if not anyone can do it too of course.

It's been a while, so...

Entries for this drawing, by Zachary Kanin, will be accepted through Sunday, October 25th.

yay, it's back!

"Alright, _I've_ got one for you."

"'...but thy father-in-law and mother-in-law can go fuck themselves'!? Efface that, now!'"

"covet... thy... neighbor's... wife... now read it back to me."

I don't care what the bottle said, this is not what "Take two tablets to sleep" means.

"i'm your wife, and even i don't care about your Top Ten list"

"give it up, moshe. they're never going to fall for it."

"how did I let you talk me into bible reenactment camp! the franklins are in aruba!"

"i just dreamed this killer riff and i had to carve it down before i forgot it"

"if you think i'm going to help test your hand-carved breast implants, you're crazy"

"covet... thy... neighbor's... wife... now read it back to me."

hahaha this one is great

My wife did one for this one:

"Ok...I'll put down "Claws". And what you describe as your greatest weakness?"

still loling at this one

man i once had the BEST caption ever but never submitted the entry

it was a screwdriver laying on a couch in a shrinks office

my caption was "i've been dreaming i'm screwing my mother"

Grr... Don't use "arial"!

i was working on a comic sans gag...

your first one was really good, forks

thenk yew; i was weirdly happy with the tablets one

So I married a chiseler!

your first one was really good, forks

Yeah, this one seems most New Yorker-y to me!

"covet... thy... neighbor's... wife... now read it back to me."

This is hilarious!

I don't care what the bottle said, this is not what "Take two tablets to sleep" means.

Is this one of those "Groany Pun" ones?

it's really quite nicely "formed".

"I don't care, if He was that bothered about his commandments, he'd have carved them Himself!"

the 'claws' one is seriously funnier than any new yorker cartoon I have seen in my life

yes.

'i dn't care how many followers you have, put that thing away already'

maybe 'followers' in quotes

"I'm guessing 'thou shalt not procrastinate' isn't on your little list."

Tracer, I'd go for a "Twitter for Luddites"" joke.

"people who yelp are scumbags"

"I've got a hot chick waiting in bed for me so I'll just chisel this last one:"

"moses i'm real happy for you and i'm gonna let you finish but aaron had one of the best idols of all time"

j/k

i want my first one included in the damn poll though

with the quote marks

"but if i fucked you marjorie i'd still be chiseling a cold, hard piece of stone and i'd still have the commandments to do in the morning"

"when i said you should get a laptop to write on instead, that isn't exactly what i had in mind."

"You could have just tweeted - they're all under 140 characters."

"if I knew you'd become this obsessed with your iSlab I never would have bought it"

"George's luddite tendencies were not improved by going mobile"

"Please, Hammer, don't hurt them"

"a little less chiseling and a little more bangin', God. I want my own Jesus."

Shonda! Shonda for the goyim!

what about "shall not" instead of "should refrain from".

(like that one)

(although it should be 'shalt' innit?)

"shalt" is the informal second-person conjugation of "shall"
