I recently received noticed that I has won again. No prize money, just the honor of being the best for the week. The award was given by Kate from Can I Get Another Bottle of Whine ...with my morning quiet time. I had won two weeks ago but missed last weeks. (I will explain why later)
So I added it to my trophy case on the side. Please visit her site, it is so very good. (so jealous) Anyway her "Caption This" photos are very funny and we do our best to make funny captions. I actually started doing these first on Brett Minor's blog The Transformed Non-Conformist. Brett, however, does not award winners, which I am fine with. To name a winner or not is a tough call. If you do name winner, there is some pride and promotion that come with it. But, if a winner is not named, then no feelings are hurt and everyone has fun. I'm good with either. By the way Brett's blog is very good as well. You can see all the past photos and their captions on both sites.
Kate even made the following from her picture and my caption and posted it to Pinterst:
I really enjoy these. It plays to my specialty. Quick Wit. I have always entertained family, friends and co-workers with it. I believe it's my one true talent given by God. Oh, I'm good at other things but being quick and making people laugh...that's what I do. Thanks to Kate and Brett for allowing me to use my talents. I look forward to next week's photos.
PS: The reason I missed a week in Kate's competition was that I looked at the wrong picture. When you visit her page you will see that she has a "Team Oasis" photo. Somehow, I pulled that picture up as the "Caption This" photo. I don't know how. I'm an idiot sometimes. Anyway, I couldn't find anything funny about it so I didn't participate. Had I saw the correct picture, maybe I'd be sitting here as a three-peat champ.
LOL! That's a link to Oasis for Orphans. I'm glad to know that somebody clicked on it, if even by accident. :-) This caption is absolutely hilarious! Love it! Thanks for the compliments to my blog, I really appreciate it!
ReplyDeleteThis week, when I realized what the picture was, i was so glad I drew a blank. One of those "WHEW!!!" moments.
DeleteCongrats! I admire people with quick wit, because I sure don't have it. I can not look at a picture and think of a funny caption to save my life. But I can sure read other people's funny captions and appreciate them :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Kianwi. I'm just happy making people laugh.
ReplyDeleteIt's a pleasure to have you at my site. I love the captions people come up with. So far, I still have no plans to even pick a winner or even say which ones I like. I want everyone to keep playing.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Brett. I really love your site and enjoy your take on life.
