Hey, think up a good caption for this pic I took in the freezing fog a couple days ago. The best I hear by December 25th will get a prize - this guy mailed to them (as soon as the snow melts and I can find him again).

Good luck!

OK, time to annouce a winner. Sorry for the delay in getting the annoucement out since the contest officially ended Sunday at midnight.

There were a ton of fantastic entries, so it was very difficult choosing a winner. Several times as I checked in on progress I found myself busting up. But Lisa and I (helped with my inlaws) have come up with a winner, and a few runner-up’s (who get bragging rights at least).

Drum roll please... And the winner is:

Don Heyse



I loved the color thing (I am an old grey guy myself who can store all his bley in a large mushroom bin). It was Lego related, so this community in particular should appreciate it. It was funny with use of puns. The mild language nearly disqualifed it, but Lisa and I could think of no better word to replace it and convey the feelings of this fellow. It was a definate winner. Don, send your address to my email and I’ll post this guy to you. Congratulations!

Runner ups are (in no particular order):

Suzanne Rich:

(Great connection that I didn’t see when I took the pic)

Michael Dallaston

(Bwa ha ha ha ha...)

Janey Cook:

(Definately brought a smile)

Chris Orchard:

(now you know...)

Matt Bohlmann

(The non-AFOL favorite of our Christmas Story loving family)

Adam Silcott

(Sick, but I loved it)

As a post-script, the snow is almost gone, and here is where the fellow has been recovered, as he was found after being kicked off the porch rail by a cat a couple of weeks ago...

(...) Ooh, sorry about the cussing. I'm just a bit inexperienced with the whole captioning thing. Perhaps I shoulda used the standard comic trick and replaced the offensive word with *$%@#!! Would that've done the trick? Anyhow, I'd like to thank (...) (19 years ago, 29-Dec-05, to lugnet.fun, FTX)
