Vote in last week's caption contest

Thanks, Nash! I LOVE your final caption entry from last week, Steve is officially my own personal butt puppet! (Tho I still think he's nothing more than a pod person)

Mohave’s Coyote Killer was the funniest submitter of the week! Almost as humorous as my many submissions. Coyote’s best: “Well, it’s not brain surgery, you know,” gives the nurse her proper due, reassuring the patient about the masked doctor. And CK also had the only “hemorrhoid” take! Quite funny! Shaving, Arm and a Leg, and of course the Movie Reference lines were abundant. Donald Hirt had a variation of the Ear Plug Theme, but didn’t get a sniff from the Selection Board. Speaking of the final three selections, again (and my main beef) is that they chose early, without finding much funnier entries deeper. I mean, Becca’s first entry was the winner (she’s got a fan club!) but it wasn’t funny. His/her selection still stokes my The-Selection-Committee-Knows-Who-Submits-the-Captions Theory. Maybe he/she works at the Trib. I totally appreciate the two Nash entries that show who’s on his mind. My broken sense of humor! What a beautiful thing!! Finally, I loved (I mean LOVED) Atascadero’s Betty DeSimone’s “When all else fails…” I shudder to think what else was tried! Steve Schumann – Arroyo Grande – theschu2@aol.com

As to this week’s three… what a sad set we have. I threw one in at the last minute (my only entry), and it had an Uncle in the punchline, also. Number two makes sense in the same way a cow would not want to wear leather. Three sees the alligator as an ugly she. I wasn’t inspired either, I guess, only entering once. And I sure didn’t think the groupthink that selects the final three would even read mine. But I’m going into the process, to see how it really works. I’ll report my findings next week.

This week, it’s too hare-raisingly simple with this (finally) time-sensitive effort from Mike Peters. I’m surprised that Peters wrote Kim’s name on the pocket. Does he think his audience is stupid? At least this turkey wasn’t five months after Easter, like his dead turkey on the street effort in March. Come on, Mike! You can do better! Steve Schumann – Arroyo Grande – theschu2@aol.com

So Steve, what are you going to do, go in to the trib and force them to pick your captions? Nothing like journalistic integrity. I love that a few weeks ago you wrote that you were inspired by Becca, and now you accuse her of being an insider on the Tribune and not being funny at all. Why the change of heart? Did you forget what you posted earlier?

He can just never be happy and needs to be the center of the universe....don't worry, some day his second testicle will drop and he'll grow a few little hairs and he might be able to attract a magpie or squirrel who will help him reach manhood and he might stop being such a whiney *&^$#!

I agree, he is such a douche!

I seriously think...may the best caption win. I champion the ones selected. I'll keep plugging away because I have FUN! Sans politics, there are no worries about the guy/gal that calls himself/herself Steve. The judges hopefully have better things to do with their time. Like keeping their jobs! Becca! You go girl/boy!

boy/girl! Hermaphrodite! :D Still more than we can say for Steve! I think its becoming as much fun Calling Steve new things as it is to submit entries for the Tribune...don't worry Steve, I may come up with something new to call you every time I hop on (such as so pathetic that corpses turn down your necrophiliac advances), but you will always be my special pod person...

Like, yeah, people who win are like totally winners and junk, totally. Like, what's a pod person?

"Valley Gal" ask your alter ego Steve what a pod person is, sooner or later he'll gestate to full term and devour you before ATF rushes in and sets him on fire before he infects anyone else...

I guess I should say thanks to Steve for his support, but it looks like the group might frown on that. I'm new here but I've been doing this for a while now. Try Myuglybrother.com or Thefunnypages.com. You don't win anything with ugly brother and the photos are funny and not cartoons, but with The funny pages, you win an autographed drawing with your winning caption. No limit to captions with ugly brother but there is a five caption limit with The funny pages. Good luck and just have fun.

We won't frown at you, but will point out that Steve is not actually supporting you, he's saying that yours is not of his caliber, but if his lofty entries aren't selected, he supposes he must grudgingly say that you are the best out of us lowly humorists who submit nothing but dribble and obviously either work at the Tribune or have an inside track, since Steve's miraculous wonders of literary art never get selected.....But yes, kudos on the fun entries, keep 'em coming :)

You could say that Steve has some distinctly Steveocentric views.

by way of his colon maybe...

Okay, thanks for the information. I don't want to get caught in the middle of this dispute. Just want to have fun at another captioning site is all. I am having a problem figuring out how to read all the captions while the voting is going on. I'm able to read the week prior but not the one with the voting. Can someone help me out. I'm a little computer challenged so laymans terms would be appreciated. What am I missing? Thanks much for your responses.

You won't be able to see any but the 3 finalists for the current week. Once the voting ends and the new caption comes up you can then see all entries

Okay, thanks much.

Just wanted to correct the record: Steve's captions have been selected by The Trib twice since he started submitting captions in February 2009.

Then quit your bitching

Like, whatever and junk!
