New Yorker Anti-Caption Contest #351


















WINNERS

FIRST PLACE
"Under Obamacare this is what I get as generic Ambien."--Shelly (JUDGE'S COMMENT: Stupid but it makes its point. There have been countless ill-informed assessments of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act which, of course is never referred to by its actual name. If Romney gets in [science forbid] we can call his plan the Insurance Company Profit Protection Act. Also, generic Ambien is pretty inexpensive. At Costco, 30 pills go for about $8. Take one and wash it down with a glass of wine. You'll sleep.)

SECOND PLACE
"NYU frat party."--Steve_O (JUDGE'S COMMENT: Frat party, sure, but why pick on NYU? Why not _______ [fill in name of school you hate—everyone has one]. Also, so long as there are keg parties attended by freshman co-eds, there will be no need for frat guys to do ewes.)

THIRD PLACE
"Pa and me done reckon a town big enough to have 5 burros is pert nar big enough to have 5 sheep."--Billy-Bob Knob (JUDGE'S COMMENT: Nice word play. You'd be amazed how many Californians can't name all five of NYC's boroughs. I once spoke with a guy who insisted the Statue of Liberty was on Staten Island. When I politely told that I lived on S.I. for over 25 years and that the Ms. Liberty could be found on Liberty Island. He said, “I'm pretty sure you're mistaken.” I let it drop.)

HONORABLE MENTIONS
"They said they haven't had sex acts with sheep in Times Square since Dinkins."--NJ-to-TX (JUDGE'S COMMENT: Once again the target is all wrong. Even in it's hey day, the abundance of sexual decadence available in Times Sq. did not include non-human sex acts—there was never any need.)

If I show them a few sites, some asshole chef can put "locally sourced" on his menu.--boneguy (JUDGE'S COMMENT: No doubt, by “asshole chef” you mean shrewd business man who is not adverse to taking advantage of assholes. Fun Fact: When he was running for VP, Dan Quayle’s bio said he was a “Viet Nam-era veteran.” It was based on his brief stent in the Indiana National Guard at a time when non-rich kids were dying in South East Asia. So technically he was deceiving but not lying.)

"We have to take the subway because of Bah-mageddon."--Damon (JUDGE'S COMMENT: Here in L.A. “carmageddon” is the term used to describe the weekend closing of a highway [they call them “freeways” here for some reason]. Even worst, they won't let bikes or skateboards use the abandoned road because the cops here total control freaks.)

Come and meet those dancing sheep
On the avenue I'm taking you to
Forty-Second Street
Here to seek, Little Bo Peep
It's the flock I love the sheer shock of
Forty-Second Street.--JohnnyB (JUDGE'S COMMENT: Our research department tells me this is the first poem ever submitted by JohnnyB. Once again allow me to damn you with faint phrase: It's not your worse caption, not even close.)

The Taking of Sheepshead Bay 1 2 3!--Dr Sumguy (JUDGE'S COMMENT: There is a section of Brooklyn called Sheepshead Bay. I always found that gross. And, movie-wise, the original was better than the sequel, if you ask me.)

Please do not refer to them as "sheep". They prefer "Fox News viewers"--boneguy (JUDGE'S COMMENT: This is an insult to sheep. Besides, loyal Fox News viewers are more like a cross between rabid dogs and fungus.)

"Don't say I never warned you when your train gets lost, Bo Peep."--NJ-to-TX (JUDGE'S COMMENT: Just remember this: If I don't make it, I know my baby will.)

My name is Sam. I cowrote "Brownsville Girl."--Angus Podgorny (JUDGE'S COMMENT: The author/actor Sam Shepard did in fact help write that epic 11-minute song which is included on Dylan's 1986 album Knocked Out Loaded. In 1978, he also appeared in the classic four-hour film Renaldo andClara. For the last the time people, don't try to out-Dylan me!)

No, Mr. Baaaaahnd, I expect you to dye."--C. Woolery (JUDGE'S COMMENT: Actually, this is not terrible.)

"Don't mind us folks. We're just in from--London."--Kathy H ( The link takes us to a news story with the headline ANIMALS SUSPECTED IN SPREAD OF NEW VIRUS. Remarkably the story does not include quotes from any animals other that humans. That's bias journalism if you ask me—and believe it or not I was once employed as an editor.)
