Title: CAPTION COMPETITION Post by: snoopy1239 on May 21, 2006, 03:50:40 PM Howdy ho peeps. :hello:
Okay gang, I think you're gonna like this one. I (well, with the aid of the techies) have set up a brand spanking new caption competition. All you need to do is trondle on over to the blonde homepage, click on 'essentials' on the menu bar, and select 'caption competition'. For now though, just click the link below. Caption Competition - Week#1 (http://www.blondepoker.com/index.php?q=node/2306) The Caption Competition will be a weekly affair, so expect lots of amusing piccies. This week's is no different, as we witness Sir McCready at Blackpool with his David Seaman mug. A classic photo and I'm sure all the wit that lies on the surface of the blonde forum will have no problems in finding something funny to say. So, fire away...

Title: Re: CAPTION COMPETITION Post by: Josh on May 21, 2006, 05:55:28 PM Although I don't even know Red Dog, or anything about previous marriages for the purpose of the caption...mine was:
"My ex wife always said I was a mug" Title: Re: CAPTION COMPETITION Post by: RED-DOG on May 21, 2006, 07:38:41 PM no way Why not? if you don't get to see them, we will miss a lot of good efforts Title: Re: CAPTION COMPETITION Post by: Claw75 on May 21, 2006, 08:58:48 PM Mine might not be publishable
Title: Re: CAPTION COMPETITION Post by: Robert HM on May 21, 2006, 08:59:28 PM no way Why not? if you don't get to see them, we will miss a lot of good efforts After the comp is closed, then publish the lot Title: Re: CAPTION COMPETITION Post by: snoopy1239 on May 21, 2006, 09:57:39 PM no way Why not? if you don't get to see them, we will miss a lot of good efforts After the comp is closed, then publish the lot That's the plan.

Title: Re: CAPTION COMPETITION Post by: Claw75 on May 23, 2006, 05:41:32 PM I started with the 'Seaman' angle, and have now actually sent a fourth entry to incorporate my first two. My other entry is along the 'mug' line. Looking forward to reading everyone elses!

Title: Re: CAPTION COMPETITION Post by: Colchester Kev on May 24, 2006, 02:16:26 PM Originalit ?? is that like Duraglit ??
Title: Re: CAPTION COMPETITION Post by: RED-DOG on May 24, 2006, 02:20:32 PM Originalit ?? is that like Duraglit ?? Duraglit, is that for polishing condoms? Title: Re: CAPTION COMPETITION Post by: bolt pp on May 24, 2006, 02:20:59 PM i'm on my forth. what direction you taking? the "mug" aspect was all to easy. moved on to the "seaman" aspect for the next couple. originalit could be the key to winning this week's caption comp so your saying i didnt win? come on man i entered 28 times!!!

Title: Re: CAPTION COMPETITION Post by: Colchester Kev on May 26, 2006, 06:44:15 PM When do we get to see the entries ?? and who is judging them ??
Title: Re: CAPTION COMPETITION Post by: snoopy1239 on May 26, 2006, 06:47:44 PM When do we get to see the entries ?? and who is judging them ?? The plan is to make it a weekly competition, with the forum as a whole deciding on the winner, who shall remain anonymous until they are actually declared the victor. Sound fun? Title: Re: CAPTION COMPETITION Post by: Colchester Kev on May 26, 2006, 07:10:35 PM yep, i like the anonymous idea. so when is the closing date ??
Title: Re: CAPTION COMPETITION Post by: Claw75 on May 26, 2006, 07:26:05 PM When do we get to see the entries ?? and who is judging them ?? The plan is to make it a weekly competition, with the forum as a whole deciding on the winner, who shall remain anonymous until they are actually declared the victor. Sound fun? Does that mean we can vote for ourselves?! Title: Re: CAPTION COMPETITION Post by: snoopy1239 on May 26, 2006, 07:35:46 PM yep, i like the anonymous idea. so when is the closing date ?? Tonight at midnight, a poll til Sunday, then a new caption comp. Waddya reckon. Title: Re: CAPTION COMPETITION Post by: thetank on May 26, 2006, 07:57:28 PM 43 way tie.
All captions recieve one vote each. Snoopy's fingers fall off from creating the poll. Maybe Snoop Doggy Doug could select three "finalists," with his keen eye for wit, and we could vote on them? Title: Re: CAPTION COMPETITION Post by: Trace on May 26, 2006, 08:31:14 PM It's gonna get messy!
Title: Re: CAPTION COMPETITION Post by: Claw75 on May 26, 2006, 09:12:19 PM 43 way tie. All captions recieve one vote each. Snoopy's fingers fall off from creating the poll. Maybe Snoop Doggy Doug could select three "finalists," with his keen eye for wit, and we could vote on them? Good idea, but I'd say five or six. I think all the entries should be published as well though. Title: Re: CAPTION COMPETITION Post by: bolt pp on May 26, 2006, 09:23:28 PM you should have all the entries out in the open but not say who they were by.
then let everyone vote. if you say who they were done by everyone will just vote for there favorite person, and if the results are displayed in running the people that vote late on will just vote for the one that everyone else has been voting for. Title: Re: CAPTION COMPETITION Post by: thetank on May 26, 2006, 09:27:05 PM It's a caption competition, not a referendum on the single currenecy.
You're well within your rights just to pick a winner yourself. (Polls are always good for a cracking argument though.) Rigged Title: Re: CAPTION COMPETITION Post by: ifm on May 26, 2006, 09:29:35 PM you should have all the entries out in the open but not say who they were by. then let everyone vote. if you say who they were done by everyone will just vote for there favorite person, and if the results are displayed in running the people that vote late on will just vote for the one that everyone else has been voting for. Erm, good idea, PM sonopy with it :D Title: Re: CAPTION COMPETITION Post by: bolt pp on May 26, 2006, 09:31:25 PM I didnt think their should have been a pole in the first place, thats why i entered 17 times.
pick em yourself, of course. If there is to be a poll i think the fairest way is to conduct it how i suggested. Title: Re: CAPTION COMPETITION Post by: ifm on May 26, 2006, 09:32:52 PM I didnt think their should have been a pole in the first place, thats why i entered 17 times. pick em yourself, of course. If there is to be a poll i think the fairest way is to conduct it how i suggested. whoosh!!!!!!!! Title: Re: CAPTION COMPETITION Post by: Colchester Kev on May 26, 2006, 09:33:22 PM yours is a brilliant suggestion bolt, i bet snoppy is kicking himself that he never thought of that .
Title: Re: CAPTION COMPETITION Post by: bolt pp on May 26, 2006, 09:35:36 PM I was mirroring his sentiments in an earlier post.
I dont get it? Title: Re: CAPTION COMPETITION Post by: ifm on May 26, 2006, 09:36:55 PM Bolt, i love you!!!!! :D :D :D :D
Title: Re: CAPTION COMPETITION Post by: bolt pp on May 26, 2006, 09:39:04 PM Bolt, i love you!!!!! :D :D :D :D Can you lend me some money then , my electrics about to go off and i have a court injunction that precludes me from "messing about" with the meter Title: Re: CAPTION COMPETITION Post by: ifm on May 26, 2006, 09:42:41 PM If it's a new meter it won't go off till morning.
Title: Re: CAPTION COMPETITION Post by: bolt pp on May 26, 2006, 09:52:04 PM my meter dos'nt understand the concept of time, just law and order.
Its legally allowed to electricute me or any of my mates if we come within 5 yards of it with a pair of pliers. so where are we on that £7 then? Title: Re: CAPTION COMPETITION Post by: snoopy1239 on May 26, 2006, 10:57:24 PM Forget all that, guys, I think have a more cunning plan.
How about we hold some sort of poll on the forum? Initially, I could publish the captions without crediting the author. Then, once a winner has been selected, I could reveal who wrote which caption. Good idea? Title: Re: CAPTION COMPETITION Post by: ifm on May 26, 2006, 11:29:04 PM LOL, genius, how come nobody thought of that?
Title: Re: CAPTION COMPETITION Post by: Claw75 on May 26, 2006, 11:44:33 PM rotflmfao
Presumably there are going to a *lot* of entries to choose from and everyone will just pick their own. Is there anyway to monitor people just voting for their own entries? Alternatively, could people choose, say, three entries they like? |
