Thread: Caption Competiton #4 Poll

  1. #1

    Default Caption Competiton #4 Poll



    I have put the captions below (no names, so there is no bias). Just vote for whichever one you like. No voting for yourself. Good luck, everyone!

    1. From the Secret Dossier:

    Iran perfects Donkey Launcher. Range is thought to be 3,000 miles and accurate to one football pitch. Clearly we should invade. Oil has nothing to do with it. Oh no!

    2. The latest in Arab anti-Donkey theft technology.

    3. Donkey in identity crisis shock, "Donkey the red nosed ...donkey"

    4. al-Qaeda test new roadside bomb

    5.India's Space Program wasn't very well thought out

    6. Hey Bob, this sure is a lot of work just to figure out if this donkey is male or female ...

    7. Iraqi archaeologists regretted using an illiterate carpenter to reconstruct a medieval siege tower.

    8. Omar the donkey-salesman spots a business opportunity.

    9. Why two tons of ammunition should not be transported via mule.

    10. Donkey: "I feel like such an ass..."
    Handler: "You should. The boxes are empty."

    11. DAMN! That's some strong herb!

    The reason why I stopped. Thought I could do it, turns out I can't.

    Several of those actually made me chuckle, one of em even made me LAUGH OUT LOUD! Shyam, after the poll is closed do you reveal who submitted each caption? Or is only the winner revealed? I'm curious because it's rare for me to smile much less laugh, whoever did make me laugh deserves some +rep for that.

    Well, I voted like before. Have you asked Giga for a front page announcement?

    Apparently, if its not a mod or a poll directly linked to the site (e.g. Why do you come to TWC?) then it can't go up. No harm in trying though.

    BTW, could someone edit the poll for another few weeks? Thanks.

    I think for community competitions, it should be allowed, let me talk to other people about this. We are a Community. Self advertising is no bad thing, surely? Ther are probably very good reasons for not allowing them. I am not aware of them, however.

    Good thinking guys. Obviously, we can't force people to vote, but to me its just odd to have some 170 thread viewers, but only a fraction of them have voted. Oh well...

    Bah its all a fix! Grimsta is sleeping with the judges! I demand a recount! Infamy infamy!

    Well done Grimsta I think I voted for that one myself. The caption competition is a great idea which I heartily endorse so its a pity there weren't more votes...
