they were the best of captions, they were the worst of captions.
Remember this photo?

I asked you to caption it in this post, last week. Well, okay. So it was more like 11 days ago, but we’re not sticklers for time here. And by “we’re”, I mean “me”.
Here are the captions that were ALMOST my favorite captions… but not quite:
Best caption by my dad (iSore in the comments): Ah, ears to you my love!
Best caption by my brother (iTex in the comments): “WHAT’S THE FREQUENCY, MEG?” (who doesn’t love a good REM reference?)
Best Duracell reference (by Nicole in the comments): Moms, they keep going, and going, and going…
Best Alice in Wonderland reference (by Sam in the comments): “I’m late, I’m late, I’m late, for a very important date!”
Best Playboy reference (from Dan in the comments): “I’m telling you, Hugh, we PASSED the exit to the mansion!”
Best Haiku (from Tamsen in the comments): “Thank goodness for roofs // That let my bunny ears breathe // And get some sun, too!”
Best Car Geek comment from my boyfriend (Gradon in the comments): “Hondas are multiplying like, well, me!”
AND OUR WINNER (because it struck me completely funny when I read it):
“No way that tortoise is winning this time… ” — commenter Nicole
Woohoo, Nicole! Classic reference, and unique in the bunch.
Nicely done, everyone!
And WAY to be completely mortified, Mom.
I’d say $5 on bunny ears was well spent.

REM? I was thinking of insane people and Dan Rather (not mutually exclusive).

Well, it turned into a song. :) I’m sure you heard of the song before the event (since you were only 16 when it happened, and probably not watching the news a lot. :)

Congrats to all the winners. It was nice to play along… maybe next time.
