  6. 1. Show very adorable child.
    2. Get slight reprieve in judging backlog.
    3. Get a few days more for sad humiliation by wearing Mets hat.

  7. What an adorable cutie...and your grandchild is precious too.

  8. Little Nova Lee (heiress to the Anti-Cap fortune) will one day appreciate the irony of Grandpa's Mets cap. It would have been easy for Grandpa to be brought up a Yankees fan, since he shared a birthday with slugger Mickey Mantle. But, the family saw a different -- and nobler -- road for alinsi. And we are all the better for it.

    Happy birthday, al. I see your beautiful gift is sitting right next to you.

  10. 1. Just for Men looks very natural
    in photographs.
    2. Next to the adorable child,
    there appears to be a Mac in
    your lap. Perhaps you are
    perusing Craigslist or ordering
    music on iTunes. Whatever the
    case, you certainly
    aren't using it to judge this
    contest.
    3. Don't make us wait until you're
    54, al.
    4. Happy birthday.

  12. Only a jerk would put family ahead of judging a backlog of caption contests.

  17. You know, in the six years that I've submitted captions, I never met anybody who wanted to win as badly as I did. I'd do anything I had to do to increase my advantage. Anybody who tried to block the pursuit of that advantage, I'd just push 'em out of the way. Didn't matter who they were, or what they were doing. But that was then. You have special talent, a gift. Not the contest's, not the entrants, not Myra Fleener's, not mine. It's yours, to do with what you choose. Because that's what I believe, I can tell you this: I don't care if you judge anymore anti-caption contests or not.
