New Yorker Anti-Caption Contest #387












WINNERS

FIRST PLACE
Once again, Mary berates herself for brown-bagging it.--Satireguy (JUDGE'S COMMENT: It seems, sex-wise, Mary is unable to harvest what the earth brings forth. She throws a bag over some creep's head and screws him silly. Now she feels like shit. This is not unprecedented. Why she parades him around in public is a mystery. If you have to, give him cab fare, but send him on his way.)
SECOND PLACE
Opposite day in Saudi Arabia.--smuck (JUDGE'S COMMENT: Which means he is one of several husbands she is permitted to have and she, of course, is driving home because he's not allowed to drive. And yes they both drink whiskey and love baseball.)
THIRD PLACE
"For once I'd like to meet a guy who doesn't come with baggage or isn't a total douche bag." -- LR (JUDGE'S COMMENT: And if you did, you would chase him away with your constant whining. And what makes you think a baggage-free, non-douche-bag would be interested in you?)
HONORABLE MENTIONS
"So this is the future ... Bring your Own Bag ... (Ordinance #28877)!"--Dr Sumguy (JUDGE'S COMMENT: Would work better if it was a plastic bag, but then you'd have issues with possible asphyxiation. Like many people, I bring my own bags and leave them in the car.)
"Hello, Kathy H. My name is Anonymouse."--Anonymouse (JUDGE'S COMMENT: Maybe Kathy will give him a link—if you know what I mean.)
"Why don't you let me take a look at your bank account and I'll decide if you're ugly."--cta (JUDGE'S COMMENT: And if he checks out he can make a deposit—right? [Remember: substansial penalties for early withdrawal]. A statement on how everything is negotiable. Noted.)
"So 'McAfee' ... Tell me about your quote ... 'If you have the winning cards, why cheat'!"--Dr Sumguy (JUDGE'S COMMENT: Because no one really wins until someone admits they lost.)
"You're kinda cute, but I prefer plastic."
--Jim Cavanaugh (JUDGE'S COMMENT: Translation: She prefers a man who is shallow, superficial and produces toxic fumes when burned.)
"Jeff Bagwell, you crazy bastard! How are you?"--Kathy H (JUDGE'S COMMENT: Evoking a veteran ball player who was nicknamed “Bags,” Kathy reaches way back, deep to left field and comes up with a classic. “A” for effort.)
"Murray Langston, you crazy bastard, how are you?"--Unknown Comic (JUDGE'S COMMENT: Would have been slightly better if the signature didn't give it away.)
"NSA, huh? What color are my panties?"--Anonymous (JUDGE'S COMMENT: To this Hannibel Lecter takes a few sniffs and says: You use Evian skin cream, and sometimes you wear a black lacy thong from Victoria's Secret, but not today.)
The only decent thing I did when I worked as a postal clerk was to haul your picture down off the wall near the cage where I used to work.--Angus Podgorny (JUDGE'S COMMENT: Lyrics from the Dylan song, “Up To Me” which was bumped from “Blood on the Tracks” and later released my Roger McGuinn. Includes the lines “I've only got me one good shirt left, and it smells of stale perfume.” Angus continues his quixotic quest to out-Dylan me. Never gonna happen, buddy.)

"I picked up my bag, I was lookin' for a place to hide."--Obligatory Dylanu (JUDGE'S COMMENT: No sale. This is from The Band's classic song “The Weight.” They toured with Dylan, of course, but there is no evidence Bob ever sang this song. Also, the line is “I WENT lookin' for a place to hide” and there's no “u” in Dylan. Tisk, tisk.)
"Oh, I know. Those winning entries last week were great, but I thought this was the Anti-Caption Contest."--Girl at Bar (JUDGE'S COMMENT: Well obviously it's not the “Anti-Crap” contest or we wouldn't get this kind of stuff.)
This isn't part of the caption, but has anyone else found it absolutely impossible to enter one into the New Yorker's contest? EVERY time I enter one it somehow gets lost in their system and never shows up in the list of my submitted entries. Very frustrating.--John (JUDGE'S COMMENT: Okay. Calm down. They don't want you. We do. You're always welcome here, John.)
Try entering a funny one.--Anonymous (JUDGE'S COMMENT: Wow. Entered right after John's cry-baby cap. Ignore this John, keep doing what you're doing.)
"I don't know if can take one more week of this."--Anonymous (JUDGE'S COMMENT: You can and you will.)
Three contests unjudged. Three orphaned months ago. It's no wonder you don't show your face, al.--boneguy (JUDGE'S COMMENT: I've said it before: Don't judge me for not judging you.)
