The New Yorker Cartoon Anti-Caption Contest #314
WINNERSFIRST PLACE"I'm Ordinary Man."--Satireguy (JUDGE'S COMMENT: At first we shrug and ask, "Yeah right! What's his special power, polishing a barstool with his butt?" But maybe this is a statement about how people with no looks, brains or social status can still belly up to the bar called life. Heros come in many forms. Simple, yet profound. )
SECOND PLACE"Whose cover do I have to blow to get a drink around here? ('cover' is code)." --Shelly (JUDGE'S COMMENT: This reminds us once again that sex is often a form of currency. Typically, bartenders would rather have the cash.)
THIRD PLACE"Really? So no one here can help me change a fucking tire?"--Steve_O (JUDGE'S COMMENT: It's not that they can't, maybe they just don't want to. Lose the F-bomb and what we have here you is a contenter for the real contest.)
HONNORABLE MENTIONS "Alo, I ees welcoming your customers to Comic-Con 2012 in Anaheim. Tacos en me El Camino; nerds want?" --Damon (JUDGE'S COMMENT: Funny, ironic or insightful not this is.)
Sorry buddy- "No super powers- no service!!!!" --Blonde (JUDGE'S COMMENT: Rule of thumb: If the bartender calls you "buddy" they have a Pabst on draft.)
None of them saw the Gingrich thing coming. --boneguy (JUDGE'S COMMENT: This tries to make a statement but even the party faithful realize there are no heroes vying for the nomination. )
"Which one is Romney?"--Anonymous (JUDGE'S COMMENT: The shallow one with the perfect hair. I for one suspect Mittis a droid.)
No liquor bond? I expected you to lie. Four sasparillas, you crazy bastard! How are you staying in business?--JIm Cavanaugh (JUDGE'S COMMENT: Which mean the happy hours there are obscene. Jim keeps the classics flowing like Jim Bean at a dive bar. )
I only have two questions. Why did the gentleman behind me stick his finger in my ass just now? And why did he stop?-- Austin (JUDGE'S COMMENT: Maybe he hit pay dirt.)
CLARENCE (appreciatively): That's a good man. I was just thinking of a flaming rum punch. No, it's not cold enough for that. Not nearly cold enough . . . Wait a minute . . . wait a minute . . . I got it. Mulled wine, heavy on the cinnamon and light on the cloves. Off with you, me lad, and be lively!
NICK: Hey, look mister, we serve hard drinks in here for men who want to get drunk fast. And we don't need any characters around to give the joint atmosphere. --Anonymouse (JUDGE'S COMMENT: al in la: Hey look Anonymouse, we post lame caps in here for malcontents who want to get laughs fast. etc. etc . )
"You know what tops this, Henry? Burning Man." --Quinn the Eskimo (JUDGE'S COMMENT: Burning man is nice if you like naked chicks with tatoos. If you enjoy using a working bathroom, not so much. )
"Actually, I'm a copyright attorney." *bar clears out*--Damon (JUDGE'S COMMENT: Actually, it's more of a trademark issue.)
"70 years ago today at Pearl Harbor we had some real heroes." --Shelly. (JUDGE'S COMMENT: Submitted on Dec. 7 so we get the meaning. But this better not be a tribute to Japanese fighter pilots.)
"This is not the end," Alinla sobbed, clutching his heaving buttocks, oscillating to Forest Gump's karaoke version of "Onward Christian Soldiers," and pausing only occasionally to scratch his itching left armpit while his sapphire eye patches, brimming with crocodile tears (ala Contest # 307), turned helplessly toward the gibbous moon that hung in the brooding sky like a tobacco-stained nail paring --Dr. sumguy (JUDGE'S COMMENT: ...As the others in the bar edged away, he downed yet another shot of cheap whiskey, paused momentarily and said "What doesn't kill me makes me stronger.")

"This is not the end," Alinla sobbed, clutching his heaving buttocks, oscillating to Forest Gump's karaoke version of "Onward Christian Soldiers," and pausing only occasionally to scratch his itching left armpit while his sapphire eye patches, brimming with crocodile tears (ala Contest # 307), turned helplessly toward the gibbous moon that hung in the brooding sky like a tobacco-stained nail paring.
