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.

I know how you feel, King, we’ve been fighting that Beauty and the Beast thing since they first found us.
Tough battle! Wanna go grab a beer?
Tag! Now you count and I go hide.
You know you’re absolutely right! I just CANNOT get into it with these short buildings.
We need to call a truce and team up…
If not that screaming giant butterfly is goiing to kick both our asses…
Godzilla and King Kong take a break from terrorizing the city
It’s hell being homeless. Have you been able to find a soup kitchen?
Hey there lizard boy, have you seen a cute blond running around here.
#1 Oh man, I’m sorry, I didn’t know I was on your turf.
#2. So I go straight two blocks, make a left and then the Empire State Building will be right there?
Semi-retired and working office temp jobs:
Godzilla explains his flared up carpal tunnel syndrome while Kong discribes proper ergonomics.
Excuse me sir, I think I may have taken a wrong turn. Could you point me to the Congo?
Ok, you vote to lower the taxes and I will veto it….they don’t like me much anyway!
“Yeah I’m so weak and shake so much, I can hardly walk without leaning on buildings anymore.”
“Not me, I’m steady as an oak…check it out”
Hey Man, Do you know what Mothra is up to these days?
Sorry I didn’t called. I’ve been…busy.
Check out my blog, I keep it up to date with all the cities I wreck.
Mothra just Twittered, he’ll be here in about 10 minutes.
This ‘Wall Street’ entree tastes like your mother’s cooking… where’s the bail-out?!?
“Wow, it’s been forever!!! Look at you!!! You must have grown four…five stories since I last saw you last.”
“I can do your Wednesday and Thursday if you can pick up my Saturday”
“Oh please…how can you possibly say the writers strike really affected us!”
Dude…DO NOT go back there! Someone forgot to flush.
Hi, yea…uh, this is MY corner.
I just spoke with the real estate agent. There’s nothing here in our price range
Dude! I told you, NY is mine! Jersey is all ready for ya!
This economic slump takes all the fun out of our brand of suffering.
Gorila-”How come on blind dates I always end up with the ugly one.”
Hey, watch out for those pesky airplanes that are always shooting BB’s at us.
Can’t keep up like we used to….where is that Starbucks we passed up?
Take my hand kong, what happend?
Think I broke a toe, stepped on another plastic jeep!!!
I’d wait 5 minutes if i were you. I had Chile last night.
1) “Ever since Pixar started doing movies, I’ve been cleaning office buildings to make a living!” 2) “Yeah, that little blonde I was seeing left me-said she couldn’t handle any more monkey business-but that’s all I know!”
Kong: “I guess they will give anyone a green card”
Listen, Zilla, things have changed over the years, I don’t go rampaging around town like I used to, but thanks for stopping by.
Kong: Yeah, things are really tough now…
Godzilla: So ya think Macy’s will hire us both..
Hold it, I think my ex lives in this building… Allow me…
Kong, old friend, the years have not been good to you.
“In this economy it gets more and more difficult to destroy livelihoods each day. I mean, is it just me? Am I being overly sensitive here?”
So uhh.. here’s my number. Call me sometime, ok?
The Unempolment office is two blocks down on the right….
“Yep, we’re thinking about going union.”
or
Kong to Godzilla: “The wife won’t get off my back if I’m not home by dinner!”
I here Mothra got work in Tokyo.
I’m hungry lets go grab something to eat…….
We are not negotiating again over territory!
Can we just settle this with words?
You’re early, I am on the clock until 6.
“Hmm, yeah, I think we’ve outgrown this also.”
Oh, sorry, ‘Zilla, I already ate all the people here. You might give Jersey a try but just remember that the people there can be a little tough!
“I uh. I got laid off.”
“You know sometimes I really miss the 90’s. We had a videogame. Do you remember that?”
“I’m not touching you, I’m not touching you, I’m still not touching you. Look how close I am, I’m still not touching you.”
“I need you to be a little more aggressive Mr. Kong.” “I know, I just hate being typecast.”
I got conned into a long-term lease, but I am making up for it with free sacrificial virgins.
So I says, “Dude in a monkey suit? I’ll show you dude in a monkey suit!”
#1 – Whoa … hold on lizard boy. Without subtitles I don’t understand a word you’re saying!
#2 – Eh, just another day at the office.
I’m posing for monkee faces on t shirts.
I guess you could dye yourself purple, develop an irritating laugh and sing and dance with preschoolers.
Yeah, it’s all kinda blurry but I think I figured it out. I was at this “Monster Bash” last night, someone slips me a mickey, next thing I know I wake up and, well, let’s just say I can’t walk too good today. Then I remembered Madonna was there and she’d been checking me out all night!
No, I have North of Broadway on even days, you’re in the wrong part of town.
So Mothra and I incorporated as Urban Destruction and Rubble to get some juicy government stimulus contracts, and we’re looking for the right partners.
Look, I’m recycling and walking to work, but i’ll never be as green as you.
“It’s OK, you can look. I’m telling you…manscaping totally makes it look it bigger.”
“You really need to moisterize my friend.”

Kong playing it cool after last week’s awkward one night stand.
“No look, Mothra and I we’re just friends. I wouldn’t terrorize downtown with anyone but you, I swear”
I was gonna try to climb the 2 towers that used to be over there.But nooooooooo.
By the way,”whats are terrorist’s”?
I waited on Empire State Building for you and you never showed…I guess it wasn’t an affair to remember.
so, piercing it was a mistake was it? I think you’re just jealous!
Do you think we have time to sneak in 9 yet today?
This is where the pool is going the tennis court over there!!!
…..Then there was that time in Tokyo when I got upstaged by that asshole what’s his name….oh yeah.Godzilla.
I can’t get a birds eye view from here, do you know where the empire state building is?
This is a one way street, your’e going to have to turn around.
Trust me……you’re going to love Mexico.
Man you’ve changed since you went on that all vegetable diet.And not for the better I might add!
Kong saying-”I wish i`d never taken this window cleaning job-it only pays peanuts.”
Listen Godzy if you’re really looking for those high-tension wires, theyr’re underground now.
You working this block? I thought I had west from 72nd Street and on and you were terrozing anything east of that…

Ape Saying-”For goodness sake, stop jaywalking,you`re attracting peoples attention.”

I’ll tell you what it was like working with Jack Black. The son-of-a-gun stole my bowl of weed.
(above is a duplicate with a typo correction)
They’ve got me scheduled to sit on top of Monkey Burgers on Main St. Where’s your gig this weekend?
Thanks for the contest. I would love to win a prize $10.
Your suppose to knock the buildings over….not scratch your butt on them.
Your not very good at hide and seek are you?
Of course, what I really want to do is direct.
If Cap and Trade doesn’t scare ‘em, what am I supposed to do with a metaphor?
“Yup, they definitely moved the water cooler.”
Look, if your brain were larger, you’d understand why I have to eat all the fat ones.
You didn’t hear this from me, but I heard that Gigantor heard Gamera talking Union!
I still do an occasional children’s party or bar mitzvah.
“I shoulda’ listened to my mother and become a dentist.”
“So did you fall in some radioactive goo or are you an escaped government weapon gone wrong?”
“This traffic is really making me bananas!”
(slight revision hehheh)
What’s so hard to understand? If you had the larger brain, you’d get to eat all the fat ones.
“Oh I get it. This is where I put my hand out, but you pull yours away and say ‘Too slow.’ Right?”
“Pull your finger?”
“I don’t like it, and I will not put a ring on it!”
It’s just a name based on my overall size. I made no other distinctions.
“This time I get to climb the pointy building with the pretty girl and you breathe fire at the Japanese”
“It takes one to know one.”
Godzilla!
I’ve just met a girl named Godzilla,
and suddenly that name…
I’m done climbing that damn building! This is the third time I threw my freaking back out! (Inside joke~dedicated to Rob, hehehe!)
Godzilla, I wish I’d gotten into the Asian market when you told me to. I can’t find any work here in this economic downturn.
“According to SAG, when the economy tanks, we provide escapism to their puny lives. They call it suspension of disbelief!”
