Caption Contest: Oh, Those Gumdrop Buttons
3 November 2008 | 4:06 PM
All right, this is my first caption contest under the auspices of this blog, but those of you who know anything about me know that I’m an old hand at this sort of stuff. My favorite part about these things is that they involve lots of input from you and very little from me (read, I don’t have to do any work). I think we’ll all agree that the less I say, the better.
Anyhoo, I figured with the whole country election-obsessed at the moment, we could all use a bit of a distraction. And who better to distract us than NBC’s plucky faux morning weatherman, the always dignified Al Roker. To wit:
OK, folks, you know the drill: submit your entry as a comment on this post; profanity remains acceptable, if not downright encouraged; submit as many captions as you wish; those submissions which play upon thinly-veiled sexual and/or otherwise juvenile material will receive higher consideration than others; all entries must be submitted before the contest is over; the winner will be selected by a blue-ribbon panel of experts comprised solely of me.
For this contest, the winner will get their choice of one of two prizes: either a still shrink-wrapped Art of Belly Dancing Mini Kit (don’t ask) or a gently-used Spice Girls ball-point pen/lanyard combination. All entries must be submitted by 5:30p CDT on Tuesday, November 4th, 2008.
What are you waiting for? Let’s get crackin’, people! Make me proud.
Ladies and germs, we have a winner. After careful deliberation – and this was tough, given some of the puerile and profane entries that were put in place this time around – I’ve decided to award the prize for this contest to Tammy, who went all current-events on us by dropping a little Shep Smith with her entry:
“The rest of it — man…some things — it just gets frightening sometimes. We’ll be right back.” – Shepard Smith
For a little context on that one, check out this clip:
Good work, everyone. Now save up some curse words and dick jokes for the next one.

It was then that Al realized that he had picked the worst possible place to hide his weed.
Careful Rover! You keep that up, and your gonna get a mouthful of my creamy filling!
“Ha ha Al – I forgot to tell you my attack pitbull hates the color blue. Ha ha!”

Not my gumdrop buttons!
Who knew that blue balls had a particular smell to them….
