CAPTION CONTEST
Drop whatever you are doing and come up with a caption for this photo:
(The photo comes from this site. Yes! The Flowbee lives!)
The person who submits the winning caption, as determined by our panel of distinguished judges, will receive a valuable prize that judi will think of once she realizes what I have done here.
Update: judi has come up with some really lame excellent prize candidates, which she will describe here when she gets around to it. We will announce the winner tomorrow, and he or she can pick the prize.
Prize Update (Winner will be forced to accept choose one of the following):
1) A geniune Fiesta Bowl "yard o' beer" (beer not included) once worn by Bob the Bear
2) Two packs of "24" JOLT gum which has not been chewed by anyone
3) A DVD of Barry Manilow's "Music and Passion" PBS special
4) A small stuffed weinermobile

Snork @ Meanie! This is as close to a Bauer night as we're going to get for awhile.

Dammit Chloe, I need you to download the specs for this Flowbee so we can set up a perimeter...

Dave, are you and Judi seriously going to read more than 500 entries by tomorrow, or are you just going to pick one of the first 10 and to hell with it?
Posted by: Grouchy Woman | February 20, 2008 at 11:10 PM
I vote for Eleanor.

Grouchy - I'm betting they'll be posting the photo and captions in rotation for the whole office this week.
Posted by: DeskDiva | February 20, 2008 at 11:12 PM
You and me both Annie! Perimeter! *just cause*

Grouchy, if my 4:55 happens to win (HA!) the credit goes to Mr. R. As he wandered past my computer, I demanded he come up with a caption STAT. He did, and to his credit, has absolutely no idea what the hell this is all about.
Well, I simply cannot come up with a Wessonality post for Flowbee, so, stick a fork in me, I think I'm done.

Sorry, I meant "Spray on a thick, natural-looking head of hair in just seconds a day!" (not "head of hear") Apparently, I got carried away with the Flowbee earlier today and it sucked out my brain.
Posted by: Grouchy Woman | February 20, 2008 at 11:16 PM

Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | February 20, 2008 at 11:22 PM
Grouchy, I liked "head of hear" it had onomatopoeia going for it. Or is that alliteration? I always get those 2 confused.
Posted by: Morgana | February 20, 2008 at 11:23 PM
My guess is he's listening to this these days.
Posted by: Doc Rick | February 20, 2008 at 11:25 PM

On that note...I'm outta here, folks!
Plenty of snorks all around to all of you!
Posted by: Siouxie | February 20, 2008 at 11:27 PM
I'm pretty sure it's onomatopoeia if it involves hair, and alliteration if it involves a mustache.
Posted by: Grouchy Woman | February 20, 2008 at 11:27 PM
Diva, it works! Simplicity itself.

This may be a little late, but here goes:
"Hey, y'all, watch this!"
This is your brain. This is your brain on "24" Jolt gum and Barry Manilow music. Any questions?
Now we know who drank Bob the Bear's Fiesta Bowl "Yard of Beer."

. . . I suppose it's only fair. We've had to read all of Dave's crap for all these years. Let him see how it feels for a change.
Posted by: Grouchy Woman | February 21, 2008 at 12:34 AM
Hey, DD and ever'body! The moon got a wicked haircut tonight. Seems to have growed back, tho.
Posted by: danceswithvowels | February 21, 2008 at 12:41 AM
Okay Grouchy, I'll play along. Dave's made a small fortune writing humor over the years. What's your claim to fame? Lighten up a bit.
Posted by: Doc Rick | February 21, 2008 at 12:42 AM
In a secret experiment, Rudolph strikes a weird pose and gets his friends Dave and Judi to see how many people will write captions for it.

Grouchy - in Doc's defense (see? I care, Doc! ;-)), your posts don't read like that to me, either.
Posted by: DeskDiva | February 21, 2008 at 01:04 AM
Sigh. I meant "crap" in the sense that Dave and Judi now have 8 million things to read and judge by tomorrow. Obviously I wouldn't be contributing to the thread and reading it at 1 am if I weren't enjoying it, and a major Dave Barry fan.
Posted by: Grouchy Woman | February 21, 2008 at 01:05 AM
Grouchy, if your being honest forgive me for the over reaction. And good job by Dances for trying to keep things going in the right direction.
Posted by: Doc Rick | February 21, 2008 at 01:08 AM
I sincerely apologize Grouchy. I misread your comments as we had someone really nasty start garbage about 2 weeks ago. Judi is the hall monitor, not I, so please forgive me.
Posted by: Doc Rick | February 21, 2008 at 01:11 AM
Cool, Grouchy. :o)
Posted by: DeskDiva | February 21, 2008 at 01:14 AM
Doc Rick -- apology accepted. Oh, I really am a woman by the way. A grouchy one. But not a troll.

as we had someone really nasty start garbage about 2 weeks ago.
Umm...speaking of crap. Damn I need to remember to preview when I get worked up. Oh, and Grouchy you'd have to be my ex-wife to be a troll and your far too nice to be her. Again, apologies. :)

Posted by: Mot The Hoople | February 21, 2008 at 03:39 AM
Mot, spend the early morning catching up. It was reminiscent of the good old days of "24" in which we went nuts and posted all kinds of
crap/garbage/stuffuntil all hours of the morning. Sadly, the writers strike ended that particular tradition this year. You, however, have the unique opportunity to post something pithy sans competition. I now hand the blog keys over to you, the Blog's resident expert on all things rugby. Take it away Mot! *finishes beer, staggers over to blog couch and passes out*Posted by: Doc Rick | February 21, 2008 at 03:47 AM
