Winners of the Caption Contest

February 8th, 2008 · 14 Comments

As you all know, earlier this week I had a caption contest for some of my pictures from the non-wrinkly years.  I am very tired, so I am not going to do anything fancy today for the announcements.  Now, don’t be hatin’ on the judges, cuz they’re your friends too.

So, the winners are…. drum roll…

Funniest: $25 Starbucks card

“Although Billy was emotionally scarred from being dressed like a girl…the home decor was much more discussed while in therapy.” –Killer

Nicest: $15 Itunes card

“Just me and my tree…chillin’.” –Epiphany

Meanest: An actual visit from me and I take you to dinner!

“Even at this young age my parents knew I would grow up to be a fag hag.” –Topncal

“San Francisco here I come…” 

Does anyone have Epiphany’s blogsite or anything?  I don’t have a link from the comment. 

Thanks, and thanks to all of those who played.  This was a very tough contest to judge.  Many of your comments were so very close together in ratings!

    I suppose I will get over the defeat and not hold it against you for too long.

    Sanfran is a very cool place to visit. Should we all assume Union square for lunch?

    Shouldn’t there be pictures and a blog entry to chronicle the event/winner?

    Ooh, ooh, ooh!! I gotz an idea! You could take pictures and post another caption contest! :)

    Top: YEA! I’ll get in touch with you

    Robin: Love the new heart thingy! Where do you do that? Sorry girl… Like I said… And I didn’t necessarily agree with the judges, but hell, they didn’t agree with each other! It took me hours to compare, contrast, average and figure it out!

    Wayne: Remember, I spent three months there? We had lunch cuz you have Pleasonton? Short memory! There will definitely be video, pictures, and potentially another caption contest… But maybe not with such lavish prizes as using my points to go somewhere… By then, I hope to have a job, universe willing!

    Oh, and don’t forget… San Fran is my favorite place in the whole wide world so far!

    Abs, You always assume that I’m implying that you don’t know something. Let’s just make this clear right now - you know everything. :) I remember it well - I picked you up at the BART, we went to Stacy’s
    (Dilbert / Scott Adams restaurant in Pleasanton, CA), then we went into SF.

    To me, SF is a great place to visit, but wouldn’t want to live there. And really, I like the surrounding Bay area more than SF itself, so I guess really I’m saying I like SF in that it gets me closer to the stuff around it :)

    That’s a little like saying “I have this one friend I really like, because that friend introduces me to better friends. Oh, I don’t really LIKE that one friend, but that’s ok…”

    Yeah, I’m like that.

    the only reason that I get like I do with you is because you and I are both egomaniacal bastards. And that is the truth. Don’t even try to deny that. You and I always want to best each other, or at least, make sure that each other knows what the other knows. And a lot of itmes, SINCE YOU ARE A MAN, and yes, that’s why, I feel like you think I am inferior to you, cuz you are soooo egomaniacal. But that’s like looking into a mirror, because I am the same way!

    Ahahaha….oh, my God. I just came to check the results thinking maybe, on the off chance, I might have won the meanest comment category, or even the funniest…but NICEST? Heh :)

    I’ll stick the link in here to…well, the closest I have to a blog at this point…

    Also, I’d like to thank all the little people. Wait, I’m 5′1″…the little people is ME!

    SWEET!!!
    I’m Number One!
    San Francisco is a much better place to visit than Mississippi. I lived in San Fran and in Berkeley. I liked Berkeley better, but still loved living in SF.

    If you are a beer fan, as I am, you have to go to Magnolia Pub and Brewery in Haight Ashbury, or the Triple Rock in Berkeley.

    Thansk man. I appreciate it. Yes, you are number one in my book; after top.

    Sorry Wayne. You know how it is. ;-)

    Plus TOP YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO GET BACK TO ME ABOUT SOME OF MY BLOG SHIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Sent you the starbucks card yesterday. You said you were very patient. Not me… God I get pissed off if I have to wait three minutes in line at Starbucks!

    Spent three months in San Fran, but since I was working in the Financial District, I spent most of my time in China Town, blah blah. I did have friends that took me all around, including Haight Ashbury, Nob Hill, down that zig zaggy road, etc. When I travel, I spend most of my time alone, so I have gotten used to sightseeing by myself. It’s going to be nice to spend some time with others in another city. I get so lonely traveling by myself… I hate doing that.
