New Yorker Anti-Caption Contest #190: And (my) Winners Are...

NOTE: I can no longer watch my beloved Anti-Caption contest languish! By now, many regular visitors to the blog Rasdosh.net are lamenting that no winner has been named in the contest for three weeks! As a long time player (and five-time winner), I thought I'd weight in with my picks for last week's cartoon. This is NOT meant as a dis to our intrepid blogmeister, Daniel Radosh. Cleary, he is either too busy or (more likely) too burned out from sifting through all those anti-captions each week (and let's admit it, many are truly terrible). Please leave a comment below and let me know what you think. Like many anti-cappers, I am starved for even meaningless validation. (If there is enough interest, I may make this a regular thing: Kind of like an Anti-Anti-Caption site. Thoughts?)----al in la

Good job. Give some thought to going back to the other un-judged weeks also, especially if I continue to be listed in your results.
I was going to say that the "Jim Cramer's headstone should win, but realized it is too good - probably should win the real contest, not the anti-contest".

I approve! But no need to make a habit of it. I'll get back in gear from now on.
