New Yorker Anti-Caption Contest #396












































WINNERS

FIRST PLACE
"Well, this explains the asshole living in our basement."--Rich Lather (JUDGE'S COMMENT: If the head is in the front lawn, how can the butt be in the basement. This is illogical but still good enough to win.)
SECOND PLACE
"Shit, it's time to moai the lawn again."--NJ-to-TX (JUDGE'S COMMENT: Don't forget to bring your sledge trimmers. [Because you use a sledge hammer to break up rocks—see I still got it.])
THIRD PLACE
I forget, dear. Is it the Macy's Easter Day Parade?--boneguy (JUDGE'S COMMENT: Our first caption to ever mention Macy's. Was there just today. They start Christmas displays on Nov. 1. That kind of thing no longer bothers me.)
HONORABLE MENTIONS
"All I can say is that the priest wore black on the seventh day and sat stone-faced while the building burned."--Tim H (JUDGE'S COMMENT: From the amzing Dylan song “Idiot Wind.” The first line say “Someone's got it in for me, they're planting stories in the press.” I love that song.)

"Life is a bust"--O. D. (JUDGE'S COMMENT: More Dylan. All you can do is do what you must, he says.)
"But I would not feel so all alone...everybody must get stoned."--pg13 (JUDGE'S COMMENT: Get stoned is often a solution if you don't want to recall the problem. Yes, it's Dylan )
"Al in L.A., lay across my big grass bed."--Anonymous (JUDGE'S COMMENT: Okay, let's say I do. Then what happens?)
"If Al doesn't judge us soon, we're going to fall off the first page!"--Satireguy (JUDGE'S COMMENT: Deal with it. There are worst thing in life than not being judged. )
"Mussolini, you crazy bastard! How are you?!"--Anonymouse (JUDGE'S COMMENT: Couldn't let this one go unnoticed. Consideer it noticed.)
