Shadow Caption Contest for 9-8-2008
You know the drill, no prizes, no winner, just the pride of a job done evil. Instead of the lame captions that always seem to win the New Yorker’s contest, we try to capture the horror and misanthropy of each week’s cartoon, while still being vaguely funny. We know this is a lost cause, but we will not give in. You can check out previous contests by clicking on the SCC tag at the bottom of this post.
Here are my starter entries:
#1. “If I had your credit rating I’d just shut my poor-ass mouth and take whatever I could get.”
#2. “The sad thing is, he can’t bring them to his new place. White carpets.”
#3. “Look, I can show you other houses, but don’t pretend like you didn’t expect economic collapse, Armageddon, and eternal hellfire when you kept voting for George Bush.”
See you in the comments.
