Tiger Tom Announces Winners of the Great Caption-Writing Contest

March 14, 2002

 

 

 

First. We had lots of good entries. 

Second.  We asked several people to help choose the winners.  We selected what we thought were the twenty or so best entries and asked them to choose the three best from the list.  When we totaled the results, here are the top three.

 

First Prize


What do you mean, "spoiled son of a rich oil family?"

 

Second Prize

You laugh at me . . . wait 'til you see Cheney in a borka.

 

Third Prize

You really think Osama will believe that I am one of his brothers?

 

Third: Since we know only the email addresses of the winners at this time, I obviously can't tell you who the winners are.  You'll be interested to know, however, that the two top entries both came from the same guy--Jim--and the third prize was won by Gina.  Both Jim and Gina sent in several very good entries. There was no rule against that. 

Some close runner-up entries were:

Are you going to pass that doobie or not, Osama?

Are you absolutely sure it was a good idea to dress this way for my meeting with the foreign diplomats?

You will pass my tax cuts or I declare Islamic jihad on you!

Guys, seriously. There's a $27 million bounty on my head.  Is the surgery convincing?

 

One that I, Tiger Tom, liked a lot, but no one else did, was:

Enshallah, shemel alatul emshi shokran buscemi!!!

 

Fourth:  Thanks to everyone who entered.  It was a good contest and we enjoyed reading the entries.  Winners will get their prizes, including the "big bag of money" I promised, right away.
