I entered a photo-caption contest at The New Yorker website. I didn’t win. Looking at it objectively, I should have won. My caption was exceptionally funny, topical, and a little hard to understand, which made it perfect for The New Yorker. Below is the cartoon with my caption:
How could that not win? Very clever picture, begging for a caption, and then voila! The perfect caption!
So I decided to start my own contest. Below is the photo I took of some coconuts at a local grocery store:
I decided to do this because I noticed I hadn’t posted a blog in a while. I have been busy with OMITs (Other More Important Things), but I felt sorry for my fan (that would be my Father) who occasionally checks this blog looking for something new.
So go ahead, think of a good caption. Click the “leave a caption” link, and post it there. The winner gets ABSOLUTELY NOTHING! I will approve all entries, unless I decide not to, for reasons both just and arbitrary. The winner will be announced every WIGATI (When I Get Around To It). However, please take care of your OMITs first.

Very good. You may be the winner. Especially if no one else enters.
“SAVE THE BABY SEALS!!!–The Story of Genetically Modified Food Gone Wrong”
I like this better if you leave out the “SAVE THE BABY SEALS!!!” sentence. Or is that some kind of vegan tourettes?
“We got so excited we lost our heads!” or
“The Claw!!”— Toy Story or
“I’ve got a lovely bunch of coconuts… There they are standing in a row, big ones small ones some as big as your head!!”— The Lion King. 🙂
Did I win absulutly nothing!?!
Definitely in the running. My favorite, “The Claw!”
This picture makes me wonder, Can vegans eat coconuts?
Linda McCartney (famous dead vegetarian) once said, “I don’t eat anything with a face.”
So I guess the answer is “No”.
Next question please.
Then I will make a formal submission of a caption:
“Why REAL vegans do not eat coconut”
You have my vote!
A fellow contestant voting for a rival! Maybe if the Olympians showed this attitude we would have been spared the disgusting Badminton scandal! Another Olympics ruined!
It could be worse, we could have been sardines in a tin!
