New Yorker Anti-Caption Contest #451












WINNERS

FIRST PLACE
"Other than I wish I were taller, my place is a sty and my wife has a slot, no complaints."--Shelly (JUDGE'S COMMENT: A skillful blend of Seinfeld humor with a ridiculously tacky, yet irrefutably logical pun. The episode in question centered on a cartoon that had a pig complaining to a retail clerk. It has enduring appeal to anti-cappers. Shelly, I was just thinking, would be a good name a cartoon crustacean. )
SECOND PLACE
"It's the only Jewproof way I can think of to protect my coin."--Anonymous (JUDGE'S COMMENT: Nothing like a good old fashion jew joke to get everyone laughing. You see, they have an insatiable appetite for money, but they are repulsed by pork. This stuff writes itself!  We are also reminded that that pigs are antisemitic AND security conscious. Noted.)
THIRD PLACE
Some animals are more equal than others.--boneguy (JUDGE'S COMMENT: This seems to fit. Can't even really say why.)
HONORABLE MENTIONS
"What he need's a damn good whacking."--NJ-to-TX (JUDGE'S COMMENT: Such is the enduring power of the Fab Four. Best line: “Everywhere there's lots of piggies Living piggy lives.)
"The oinkers here are extreme."

--Jim Cavanaugh (JUDGE'S COMMENT: A reach...but like a pig trying to roller skate or republicans trying get black and Latinos to vote for them, the effort is entertaining even if the result is predictable.)
You know what our tails look like? Fusili, you crazy bastard!--LR (JUDGE'S COMMENT: Much better. Here we see the successful extension of a classic cap...a new twist, one might even say.)
"I would call us Click and Clack, but that would just set Al off again."--Dex (JUDGE'S COMMENT: Nothing much sets me off these days but captions I don't get gnaw at me.)

Right, Dex. al doesn't know tappet from topiary...Anonymous (JUDGE'S COMMENT: Entered exactly 47 minutes AFTER the previous cap. My reply remains a blank stare and eagerness to push on.)
