The New Yorker Anti-Caption Contest #336






WINNERS

FIRST PLACE

"So in conclusion I'd like to say, I'm out now, Linda. Deal with it, bitch."--Steve_O (JUDGE'S COMMENT: Far from being a bitch, Linda is the victim of a vindictive self loathing little prick. He hid his crossdressing from her until they divorced for reasons unrelated to his sexuality. What doomed their marriage was the petty jealousy of a chronic underachiever. She ran the department and he was a low  level manager. He used a sales meeting to drop this little bomb. This falls in the category of  "NOW he Tells Me!" Linda fired him the next day. That's my take on this AND further evidence of how much thought I put into this shit. Nice work Steve_O.)

SECOND PLACE

"And this is me when I was overweight, indiscreet and transexual."--LR (JUDGE'S COMMENT: Hate to get all technical but "transsexual" usually refers to a guy who has had the snip and tuck operation [or lopitoffofmy as the doctors call it]. This guy is more of a crossdresser--he'd need hair and make up to be a transvestite. Why he is showing these people this photo is the real question.  Also, notice how I'm the one with the correct spelling.)

THIRD PLACE
After a 15-year stint, Ted (last name withheld) toured high schools and juvenile detention centers with an array of prison photos, hoping to convince youngsters to steer clear of a life of crime.--Scarred Straight (JUDGE'S COMMENT: Let me get the straight, Straight. He shows photos of himself lounging in lingerie as as means of discouraging  crime? Are you saying "do something bad and we'll put you in panties and bra?" This can backfire if the kid has, you know, certain needs. )

HONORABLES MENTIONS
Since I brought the wrong thumb drive, my lecture will be "What I did on my vacation".--boneguy (JUDGE'S COMMENT:  The NY Post headline may say "Sleazy Slideshow: X-Dressing Perv Flashs Sick-O PiXXX," but the NYer's Cap Contest will harbor no cap that judges this guy's choice of undergarment.  His only foible is bad luck. He is only annoyed because it was supposed to be a slide on economic trends. That's why this cap could win the real contest. His willingness to discuss it suggests it was no accident and he doesn't care who knows it.)

".....while in San Francisco, the original intent of casual Fridays had taken a turn for the worse."--boneguy (JUDGE'S COMMENT:  A bit more heavy handed but lets face it even the most progressive gay-friend people don't want to work along side a middle aged guy in bra, panties and fishnets.)

At the Future Porn Stars of America seminar, Ted D. Rosenfeld aka "Long John Silverman" or, simply, "Tootsie", demonstrated to flesh-trade hopefuls how lighting, costuming, and proper coaching helped make "Torah, Torah, Torah!" into a classic.--It's Okay, I'm Jewish (JUDGE'S COMMENT: This is deeply flawed but the name dropping gives it an edge while the ethnic slant has merit. Even so: The preferred industry term is "Adult Entertainment" not "Porn."  The biggest problem is this is not an image anyone would use to promote anything--a real jew would know that.)


"This is my night gig. Come see me this weekend at the Perry Combover Follies."--NJ-to-TX  (JUDGE'S COMMENT:  Once again a pun too good to ignore weasels into the winner circle.)

"And this is our emperor, Ted."--jimM (JUDGE'S COMMENT:  I too conjured the image of some mythical kingdom where an unprincipled narcissistic crossdresser named TED seized control and is now showcasing the new flag. I also immediately thought of Karl Rowe for some reason.)

"I love to use this final slide to demonstrate the ability of our imaging software to operate on systems as old as the 1989 Macintosh. Please note that I have done a damn good job of maintaining my overall shape and hairline."--Suzanna L.  (JUDGE'S COMMENT: A little confusing but the intent is clear and there is a certain highbrow quality to this.  The guy could also be like stand-up comic/crossdresser Eddie Izzard. He dresses and he don't care who knows it. Maybe he goes by the name Suzanna.)

"TED, what an asshole!"--Dex (JUDGE'S COMMENT:  TED is all full of himself. We get it.)
Fishnetties, you crazy bastards! How are you?--Jim Cavanaugh (JUDGE'S COMMENT:  Jim throws classics  to the wind in the hope that a sudden gust will send his words aloft to the comic heavens. What I guess I'm trying to say, J.C., is that your entries blow.)
The hooters here are obscenely small.--Jim Cavanaugh (JUDGE'S COMMENT: See previous comment.)
"The hose here are obscene."--Anonymouse (JUDGE'S COMMENT: Although much better than Jim's that is low standard. Does anyone really call them hose?)

"I brought a couple of... oh crap, this is supposed to be the midgets slide."--smuck (JUDGE'S COMMENT: Midgets in lingerie would have been more Anti-Cap worthy. )

I brought a couple of fishnets. Do you mind?--
JohnnyB 
 
(JUDGE'S COMMENT: We don't mind Johnny. Why don't you slip a pair on?)



"The first time I dressed like this for JohnnyB all he could manage to say was "wheeeeeee"."--Anonymous  (JUDGE'S COMMENT:  At least you got that. When I did it, he said "Ick!" Then I reminded him it was his idea. Long story short: we're cool now. )

"I'm beggin' you, please! No standing ovation!"--Kathy H LINK TO NYT STORY (JUDGE'S COMMENT:  This linked to a story in the NY Times that discussed the epidemic of standing ovations for even the lamest plays. As I read it I remember going to a horrable play that went on forever. When it was finally over I could not wait to stand-up because it made it easier to walk away. No one mentioned that in the story.)


"...and lastly, TED is Esperanto for men in lingerie."--Kathy H (JUDGE'S COMMENT: Why no link Kathy? Surely you know where such images can be seen. )

"I think this is a good time to point out that the 88th running of the Wood Memorial was not an arbitrary number, but, in fact, was, last month, the 88th running of the Wood Memorial. But, I digress..."--Kathy H (JUDGE'S COMMENT: So the guy is giving a presentation and a photo of him in women's lingerie flashes on the screen and he wants to nit pick about the previous week's comment. How exactly is that a "good time" to do this? A cap from boneguy about his FAO Schwartz cap had a similar gripe. Even exact numbers have arbitrary consequences. Precision is the enemy of passion. That's what I say.)

And with this shot I venture into sensitive terrine.--Paul Arnold (JUDGE'S COMMENT: One in an occasional series of  cheap shots aimed at shaming me into spelling every word exactly as it should be spelled. [Notice how I didn't say "spelt."] Type-os and misspelling keep it real. Jay Z will tell you that.)
"And I call this one 'alinla' because I can't spell at all, especially hard words like 'lingerie'."--Grandma (JUDGE'S COMMENT: You're the one who used "hard" and "lingerie" in the same sentence.)

"Here's the goddamned 100th comment. Now, what do I win?!"--Ish Kabibble (JUDGE'S COMMENT: My people will be in touch. )

I think this is a good time to point out that 150 centimeters of wood is not an arbitrary number and can be contained in women's lace panties without bursting the seams or 'peeking'. In fact, lace panties are quite efficient at keeping the nuts cool and, thereby, preventing sterility.

In addition to discussing video surveillance tape replacement, Scratch-Off deciphering, and hot dog cookery, Abhijeet "Ted" Utpal went over the Yoga Sutras at the 7-11 new employees orientation. Such practices (and a well-fitting bra) helped him cope with a minimum wage income and the routine risk of death at the hands of gun-wielding gang members high on PCP, and helped him forget having earned a Ph.D before emigrating to the land of milk and honey, which, could be found with a past due expiration date in the refrigerator section, and on aisle four, respectively.
