Cartoon Caption Contests

Monster Chat Cartoon Caption Contest

This isn't normal. What the hell is going on here?

This isn't normal. What the hell is going on here?

Let me start by saying: Microsoft sucks Eric Cartman’s bulbous ass. I had a clever opening paragraph all ready to go in order to make my Monday cartoon caption contest announcement sizzle and pop, and Word crashed on me before I had a chance to save it. Sigh. My words of wit are no more; they are lost forever in the digital ether. (Now I’m hitting “save” after each anger-induced sentence.) Well let me try this again. Happy Monday! No, that totally sucks. I’ll get on with the Splendid Marbles Cartoon Caption Contest’s simple rules instead. Just type a clever caption (you are allowed two submissions) and place it in the comment section, along with a valid email address, and you could win a $10 cash prize. I will accept entries until midnight, Friday, May 15th, 2009. I’ll select five finalists over the weekend, which will be voted on starting noon Monday, May 18th, 2009.

I hope you have extra fun with this cartoon. My wish is that it proves to be an amusing challenge for you. I used to watch “Monster Week” on ABC when I was a kid (I think it was part of the “4:30 Movie” series, designed to keep kids from setting fires in the woods in the hours that fall between the end of school and the start of dinner). My apologies, I digress, as usual. (Just clicked “Save” again.) Now, as a semi-mature adult who no longer fights the urge to start fires in the woods, I have started to ponder not only the fate of these giant, misunderstood beasts, but also how they might have interacted with one another.

There were many crazy Japanese monster movies that featured not only battles between creatures, but the formation of alliances among them. They were social creatures, damn it! That being ranted, I call upon you to fill in the blanks. What could they possibly be talking about? Or, how would you describe this scene? I don’t care how you choose to approach this one. Just have some fun. Oh, if you see Bill Gates, give him a high and mighty bitch slap for me.

Time to vote for your favorite caption.

I apologize for the delay in posting the final selections, but my fianacee and I had obligations to attend to in the Big Apple today. I’d like everyone to know that we take the selection of final five captions VERY seriously. We’ve gotten into heated debates over the comedic merits of one type of caption versus another. We will be coming out with a video soon to show you how this mysterious process works. Please stay tuned to Splendid Marbles.

And, here is last week’s winner:

Congratulations, Ted. Nicely done.
