    i'll enter "oh F**k" for the next contest right now. did i win

    S**t

    I would have to agree, pretty lame and un-original.

    Toilet humour misplaced.

    You are eroding your well-earned recognition by awarding ‘swear words’
    as winning captions, no matter how funny you feel they may be.

    It wasn't until he attempted a suicide mount that Fred realised he'd
    forgotten his unicycle.

    or

    Fred was still trying to perfect his 15' giraffe dismount.

    BTW - sorry about the "Fred" - I don't know who these people are.

    It is not whining as you put it, and I am not in contact with the
    judges, this is an open forum.

    It is an opinion; if you do not like others opinion’s then ignore them.
    Perchance the same steps you suggested?

    I never said I did not find it funny, just not what I believe to be in
    the best interests of this sport or any other using swear words to
    describe actions or mis-actions of those involved.

  11. apologies all round
    i didn't intend my comments to be interpreted as an attack on your right
    to express your opinions on an open forum

    Roger: may i suggest a seperate (new) thread for every competition?

  12. I'm outraged! How could this happen. It's clear that Dylan's entry was
    the best. It was extremely funny, and creative. It wasn't just two
    simple words which you would say if you were there. "Oh [censored]" isn't a
    real caption. I'm disgusted!

  13. It's alright, who understands those crazy brits anyway. I mean, I could
    understand if it was a swear/normal word combination, like [censored], or
    tentacleshit, but this.....

    Robbie, I am sorry you are outraged. The competition was/is only a bit
    of fun and judging it is very hard. It is well known that humor is
    cultural and all the judges were British. Dylan's entry was discussed
    and liked by one of the judges but it was also pointed out by one of the
    others that they actively disliked it and though it smutty and she was
    offended by it.

    Humor is never funny if explained, so I wont, but it was one of the few
    captions that made me laugh out load.

    The next caption competition will be open officially on the first of
    December, I will transfer all the new captions already posted over to a
    new post so it separates the two competitions. Please take the
    competition in the spirit that it was meant to be, just a bit of fun.

    Thanks again for everyone who posted me pictures for future
    competitions.

  18. Don't worry Roger, I was just having a bit of fun with my post. Although
    I think Dylan's entry should have won, I'm not actually outraged. 🙂
