Shadow Caption Contest for 1-21-08
Once again I have come face to face with the New Yorker’s winning entries for their Caption Contest, and once again they are beneath my dignity. I’m beginning to get the feeling they aren’t reading this site. Boo, New Yorker. Boo. Anyway, let’s keep our artisinal captioning going. This week’s is a doozy. Mine:
#1. “I thought, ‘There’s no way she can make this my fault.’ It was the happiest I’ve ever been.”
#2. “The weather man said each safe contains whatever you desire most, and then he was crushed to death.”
#3. “I loved that car more than anything. I should be out there with her, instead of in this house with you.”
P.S. I just want to point out that this week’s New Yorker has a drawing of Zeus shooting heroin. I really don’t think it would piss off their readers if they chose captions that weren’t written by eleven-year-olds.
