Well, lets just say that the Caption Contest turned out even better than I hoped
it would - except for two glaring omissions: Keith Goldman and Janey Red
Brick. WTF? Two of the funniest people I know, both dreadfully quiet. Well -
you guys had yer chance to win a Naked Lenny (with epaulettes) fig and turned it
down - your tremendous loss.
Okay.. the contest was judged by three people who have close contact with me,
and no contact with the community at large. I did this so there would be no
un-due bias with the judges have fore-knowledge of those entering the contest.
The judges were:
My sister Meredith (a non-practicing Muslim who loves
playing pool and robbing you),
My Uncle Dave (who goes by ‘papahoff’ in
internet circles, enjoys amateur photography and reminising about the good
ol’days)
and
My Step-Uncle Paul (a Yorkshire dairy farmer who sometimes
steals away to tug on the teet for fun).
And the winner is...
DEREK SCHIN
with honorable mentions:
Dan Jassim
Ryan Wood
Gil Shaw
Nick Kappatos
Now - Derek needs to send me his address so I can send him his fine winnings.
(please send to lenny dot hoffman at gmail dot com) thanky very much.

Dear Mr. Bo Benny,
It is with great pleasure, we (the Minifigs that rule..... umm we mean,
“live” with Janey) commend you for an outstanding contest, the quality of fair
judgement and of course our congratulations to Derek. We are sure he is elated
to be the proud new owner of *that* Fig. That is of course, assuming he does
actually send you his address, not that there would be any reason not to.
It is with great regret, that we send this apology on behalf of Ms. Red Brick.
See, she wanted to respond various times, she even had a few very funny ideas.
Unfortunately every time she tried.... well, in all honesty, we poked her with
the sharp corner of a 2 by 4.
Why? Why you ask?.... Well you see, we may be smiling, but we get very jealous,
very quick. If she would have won the naked Lenny Fig (with or without
epaulettes) all she would have done is gaze at the fig all day.
She is the city planner/builder for our town, Bricton. Dreaming about naked
Lenny would never get us the buildings that we need completed. We don’t want to
complain, but there are buildings here that don’t even have a roof, some with no
back wall, and some not even started yet!! Do you have any idea what winter in
Canada is like??
Recently she has been off building stuff for other Figs and playing with Micro,
Mecha and Motors. We are sorry Lenny, but a naked fig is just something we
couldn’t risk having considering the chaos and desperate times we have here in
Bricton.
We would send you a naked Ms. Red Brick Fig as a most sincere apology token
gift, but we have yet to figure how to get the chick out of the red brick.
Signed,
The BS-PMS
(Bricton’s Society of Protection of Minifig Souls)
c/o Janey “Red Brick”
P.S. No, we don’t have Janey chained to the building table, no, that’s is not
her screaming for release, and no, please DO NOT send the Mounties around to
check! Thank you, have a nice day.

WERD! The yearning deep within my soul for the contents of the People’s Bathtub
will not go unrequited!
The funny thing is, Dan’s entry is what inspired me to enter...and while Dan
more accurately portrayed Mr. Rubin, I realized that this photo simply captured
normal behavior for our man Lenny and wrote the dialogue appropriately. But
obviously, my Paint skills are what took me over the top.
Actually, even more obviously, the judges were incredibly perceptive and could
tell that I lusted for the prize more than anyone else. Uh, did I say lusted?
I mean, it’s, er, for a friend. Yeah. His name? It’s, uh, Keith. Yep. He
said he’d, er, do anything if I got ahold of that minifig for him...
