And the winner of the caption competition is ..........

Being the cowardly type of person that I am, I decided to wimp out of judging the caption competition and ask someone else to do it instead [hell if any violence erupts, I don't want to be in the vicinity].

So, I decided to approach my good friend, Clare Jones (of the blog Yes, his name is Gary), to do the honours. She lives in Florida, so I figured that if anything did go horribly wrong, she couldn't easily get to me.

Noticing that Clare's Skype status was showing as 'online', I gave her a call.

Me: Alright Moosey, I need a favour.

Clare: Oh, god, what this time? I still haven't fully recovered from that episode with the pancake and the lizard.

Me: Yeh, sorry about that. But I need you to judge a caption competition on my blog. It's a toughy though; there are lots of bloody funny submissions and quite a lot of them are rude.

Clare: Oooh nice one, why did choose me as judge?

Me: Because you were the only person I know who hadn't entered the competition.

Clare: Not because of my judging prowess?

Me: Not really no. It was more that you were convenient.

Clare: Sigh, ok. Leave it with me.

Me: Cheers mate.

Hence I waited with bated breath for the ping of an email arriving in my inbox, heralding the arrival of the results. I didn't have to wait long. Clare had pondered, laughed, and evaluated, and finally arrived at her decision [Note: if anyone is upset they didn't win, I will forward her address, no worries].

And without further ado.... please may I present Clare's decision...... da dahhhhh!

Thanks for letting me judge the caption competition. My line would have been 'Brazilian please' but this had already been taken by FourJedis... and I nearly awarded it to her .. it reminded me of my mate coming here from England and going for a bikini wax, and the little Asian woman (who didn't speak much English) accidentally taking off far more than my friend was used to...'tres amusant'. However the best one for me was Gumpher... 'After a long weekend in Amsterdam studying the window ladies, Paddington hit on a sure fire winner to make more marmalade cash.!'

Yep, the winner is a newcomer to this blog - GUMPHER! with the highly amusing comment: 'After a long weekend in Amsterdam studying the window ladies, Paddington hit on a sure fire winner to make more marmalade cash.!'

Congratulations to you! Some of my other favourites included: Nicki's 'I hate papsmear day!' and Brennig's 'Look! Just look! Look at my bumhole! It's gone! How did that happen?'

So hopefully, my next steps will be publishing an interview with the winner! But first I have to get the mud out of my kettle.
