Alien Bar Fight Cartoon Caption Contest

What is a bartender to do?

This cartoon will probably keep me out of the children’s literature industry for good – not that I had high hopes of striking gold by spinning morally uplifting stories for tykes. (Image after jump.) But hey, this is the Splendid Marbles Cartoon Caption Contest, and the subject matter, although neither laced with profanity nor oozing blood and guts, is geared toward adults with a twisted sense of humor.

So please dive into the darker recesses of your mind and submit one smashing caption in the comment section, along with a valid email address, and you could win a $10 cash prize. I will be accepting entries until midnight on Thursday, January 8th, 2009. I will then select five finalists, which will be voted on starting Friday morning, and ending at midnight on Sunday, January 11th, 2009. I will announce the winner at noon on Monday, January 12th, and I’ll post a brand new caption contest. (Please submit only one caption.)

As for the cartoon, I don’t know what to say. I’ve seen bartenders contend with nasty behavior from intoxicated humans – counting myself in the ugly ranks – over the two-plus decades I’ve spent in New York and New Jersey watering holes. How would these booze-dispensing referees deal with drunken aliens and dragons? This is your task. Put yourself behind the bar in this oddball establishment that attracts beings that are not even supposed to exist (maybe this is why they drink so heavily). Have fun!

As for last week’s contest, it was a tie. Only two people voted. Is my money of no value? Surely ten bucks is not a princely sum, but it can buy two drinks in the burbs and one (with a tip) in the City. Please give it another go – I’ll keep the polls open until midnight, Thursday. (The cartoon is posted again below, so cast your vote in the “What’s Your Opinion” section, located in the center column, below “Recent Marbles” and a box of ads.)

Here are the five final captions for last week’s contest:

1. “Yeah, I used to work on Wall Street, too.” From Dan.
2. “What kind of an A-Hole Club requires PANTS?” From Qwerty.
3. “Yo Aaanald, Can we hurry this up? I don’t wanna miss the Red Bull-infused champagne at midnight!” From Dane.
4. “Hey, A-Hole, let us in!” From Christina G.
5. “I don’t mind paying and showing my ID, but I ain’t giving Mr. Marine my pants.” From Jenifer Mancini.

Please note: I will send out an email on Mondays to remind you about the contest. I will NOT pester you at any other time during the week, and I will NOT share your email with another living soul – or organization run by the living. AND, I will take you off of the list as soon as you request to be removed – just send a reply email with “UNSUBSCRIBE” in the subject line. Thank you, and have fun with this week’s cartoon. (Please be advised: I reserve the right to remove comments that contain foul language.)
