Feel free to have this thread deleted if you want to, mods, but I really had my heart set on running this competition. ***RULES*** Please Read: 1. I will post 1 picture per week. I will do my best to keep to this deadline. 2. The best (funniest!) caption for the picture will win that week's competition. I will be the sole judge of this competition. I will post the top three captions for each week at the end of each week's competition. 3. Users must post captions to me in a PM with the subject as "Caption Competition" . Any captions posted in this thread will not be accepted. 4. Users may have up to 3 captions per week. If a user has already sent me 3 captions and then thinks of a better one, they may replace one of their entries with the new caption. The user must state which caption to replace in a PM. 5. Users may discuss anything to do with the competition in this thread, except captions (until results have been posted). Season 2 of the Caption Competition will start next year.

Well I have to say I like it and will hope to give everyone a good run for their money with my witty yet thoughtful captions.

Awesome. I'm glad your dream of bringing wierd and wonderful competitions to people has finally been realised, Simmo. *wipes tears from eyes* Your constant pestering to get this started has really touched my heart, you know? Anyway, awesome picture. Can't wait to see the captions. I think I'll be passing on thinking of any myself- I'd hate to be out-shone by all you wierd and wonderful thinkers around here. Hehe, actually, I just thought of one as I was writing this comment. PM will follow.

Man on the right's thoughts: "Note to self... Feed the donkey better." Somebody didn't read the rules (you have to PM me your captions).

Yeah, but presumably that's not his caption. I just sent you three. And here's just something to feed your imaginations (not one I decided to use, but is good enough I want someone to see it. ) "Enslaved donkey just wants to spread his wings..." Don't hate me, Simmo. EDIT: Oh yeah, and gave you a custom title, since I don't want to give you modhood over this when pat is the General Mod. Just to give your word around here some weight.

Finally some recognition! Oh, if that isn't his caption then I now feel very stupid. I even sent him a PM lol EDIT: I am LAMOC (I am lamo, see?) This is great, loads of people have entered and there are some hilarious captions. It's gonna be a tough one to judge!

Week 1 Results That's right! Here are the results for the Caption Competition week 1! I have to say, this was really tough to judge and there were some captions that JUST missed out on a spot in the top three. Anyway, drum roll please! *dudududududududududududududu* 1st Place: "And so, Sayihd learned that using commodities to transport donkeys was not nearly as effective. " - Vrek Vileclaw 2nd Place: "Helium donkies a failure." - NotApplicable 3rd Place: "Hopes of Arabian economy crushed as rubber-horseshoes make a flop" - Illusionary Nothing Congratulations to our top three! Hopefully IN will sort out some kind of title/signature (or if you want I could make a thin little sig. for each week's winner, seeing as that seems to be my current hobby). Please continue to take part in the caption competition!
