Making smart people smile since 1985
This doesn’t happen very often. Mary Hanney is both winner and a runner-up this month! Her winning caption is: And her runner-up caption is: Yay, Mary!!! Our other runner-up (I love both the succinctness and the alliteration in her caption!) is Sarah Jadeke. Sweet, Sarah! Congratulations to both!

Did I or did I not call it??? I SO called it! Congratulations, Linda Poindexter. Your caption won by a landslide! Hooray! How many of you are old enough to remember Clairol’s “does she or doesn’t she” ad campaign? Yes kids, there was a time – long, long ago – when dying one’s hair was slightly naughty. Thanks for … Read More

How many of you remember this wonderful image? Ivy Magner won our contest with her “prison tats” caption way back in 2011! (oh gee… has this contest been going on that long?) I know I’ve seen her name among the finalists since then, but I believe this is her first win since 2011. Congratulations, Ivy! I love this not only … Read More
