caption contest results

Thanks for all the great entries, as usual better than the original captions.
And apologies to JPX, whose efforts were erased by a mysterious blogger malfunction.
After much soul searching, I had to give the win to Octopunk for his clever captions, my two favorite being Life in Hell and Dilbert. Runner up is DCD with her Doonesbury beaut.

Here are the originals:

Congrats, Octo! I'm always amazed at how lame the actual cartoons are compared to what we come up with. Great contest, AC! I regret that my entries were all erased. I didn't have copies and concluded that I was too lazy to come up with them again (the Popeye one literally took me 40 minutes because his dialogue is so complicated). I look forward to seeing what you come up with, Octo! I might suggest that you delay for a week given that JSP and Whirlygirl are on the East Coast this week and it's possible that we won't be able to give the contest the attention that it deserves. I'm just sayin'

I agree, postpone it until next week. Big congrats Octo, great job!

Sorry for my lack of participation, my Dad was in the hospital so I've been busy running old people around.

Hope all is okay, Cat!

Totally agree with the choice, AC. Thanks for the shout-out, but Octo's brilliant Life In Hell was a shoo-in by my book. Completely hilarious!

JPX, what's up with the secret Horrorthon get together without letting us know! *shaking fist*

There's no conspiracy, I assure you. JSP came into town last weekend and he's here for the week. Whirly will be here later today. They're here for Stan's wedding this weekend. The following weekend Whirly and I have another wedding to go to in VT. We should definitely think about getting together to play pool or something =)

Totally!! Please give Stan our love and good wishes!!

Thanks for the win AC! I have indeed postponed the contest, but included a bonus round for your amusement.

Go Stan and your lovely bride! So sorry I can't be there in person.
