Caption Contests

Hurry and Vote for the Best Cartoon Caption!

In the spirit of Christmas, I’ve decided to go with five finalists as opposed to three for the Splendid Marbles Holiday Cartoon Caption Contest. And I must say that it was still extremely difficult to narrow the captions submitted to five, as opposed to only three. (The Finalists are listed after the jump.) I would like to apologize for posting this so late in the day; both my mind and body are in holiday mode, and my poor ibook is very old and very tired – it is literally gasping for air as its ancient processor gags on today’s data flows.

I am now finished listing lame excuses for functioning so slowly today. Let’s move on to the final five captions; they are listed below:

1. “It looks like I will make it home in time for “Murder She Wrote.” by Jason Nickolay
2. “Ho Ho Ho, there’s no snow, and I’ve got no place to go.” by Brett
3. “I guess it’s time to downsize my staff of elves.” by Don Schraier
4. “Tread lightly boys, these guys aren’t maintaining their roofs.” by Jay French
5. “I’m guessing there’ll be no cookies for me this year.” by Sarina

Please vote in the “What’s Your Opinion” section, located in the center column, below “Recent Marbles” and a box of cheesy ads. (Voting ends Sunday, Dec. 28 at midnight.) I’ll post the cartoon with the winning caption inserted on Monday, Dec. 29 at noon, along with a brand new caption contest. I would like to thank everyone who contributed – have a great weekend.
