Caption contest!

Posted in:

* Yesterday’s winner was “OneMan” for his series of comments about that photo of Pat Quinn’s empty refrigerator…

He may not have any money for food but he is going to be getting a new Stainless Sub-Zero fridge since that money comes out of a different budget.

Only I have the mustard to get us out of this jam.

Well I was going to go to Jewel, but then I heard Dominick’s was better, however Whole Foods would appeal to part of my base, but then again shouldn’t I help the small local grocer.

It turns out Governor Quinn did not know someone was providing ‘early release’ to his food. Once he found out about it he stopped it immediately. Pat Quinn, concerned about his fridge, just not aware of it.

My fridge has jam in it now, it isn’t empty, it’s getting more full all the time, that’s progress, that’s Pat Quinn.

And my favorite…

When asked what was in the box on the middle shelf, Quinn answered, “Not Jason Plummer’s tax returns to be leaked in two weeks, that’s for sure.”

E-mail me, Henry, and we’ll drink heavily.

* Today’s contest features a photo of Congressman Mark Kirk…

As always, the winner gets at least an hour of cocktails with yours truly, and maybe OneMan as well. Let’s make it a twofer!

Also, keep it extra clean, please. Thanks.

  1. Look–up there in the sky. It was exactly that type of jet fighter that I bailed out of on a sortie over Iraq while we were under extremely heavy enemy fire. After I bailed the parachute didn’t open and I was forced to rely on the backup to break my fall. The landing on the ground was pretty rough, and I suffered a compound fracture in my femur at 4 different locations. All in a day’s work for Capn Kirk.

  2. If you’ll trace through the zigs and zags of my explanations of my military service and childhood accident on Graph A, you see that they correlate exactly with the explanations of Alexi’s mob banker service on Graph B.

  7. “…and see that seal on the wall? I designed it during my first Campaign. Sitting there bored, listening to my opponent drone on and on during a debate, I picked up a pencil, and began doodling. In less than an hour, I came up with sketches that were adopted by every City, Village, and Town across this great State of ours.

    Back then, the series used to be known as the Kirk Series.

    Wait! Did I say ‘across the State’? I misstated that. To be precise, I should have said ‘across this Great Country of ours’”.”

  13. And when you look at this clip from the Sopranos, you can clearly see the people who influenced Alexi Giannoulis. Now, the undercover FBI agent is modeled on me, as I fought the mob New Jersey in between my sorties over Iraq.

  41. Rich, I’m not going to even try to match these comments. But you should send them over to the editors of the Daily Herald with the note, “Here are some comments about YOUR choice for US Senator.” (Forget about sending them to the bozos at the Tribune, as that would be a waste time.)

  60. These graphs compare my exaggerations of my record with Alexi’s obfuscations of his. The data has been normalized using the John Lovitz that’s-the-ticket method. In addition, a pandering-to-the-base factor has been included as have red-running-in-blue-state and blue-running-in-red-year factors to each candidate as appropriate.

    You can clearly see that while, overall, the results of both candidates are rather high, my opponent’s results are depicted in a menacing way that should cause you to fear him and vote for me.

  70. People often ask about my youth, and so I like to start with a a photo of myself in the manger in Bethlehem. You will notice that several wise men had come to seek my counsel…even at that young age I was reading at a 6th grade level according to the standardized testing of the day. However what this photo does not show is the band of Hittites that I fended off by throwing Frankincense and Mur in their eyes and then using a nearby Bo Staff to finish the job…..

  107. Gunner, I believe that particular act of violence was in “Casino,” a very under-appreciated Scorsese flick about the era when the Chicago Outfit ran Vegas, with Pesci as Tony Spilotro and and DeNiro as Lefty Rosenthal (under different names).

    Pileggi’s book, to which the movie is very faithful, is outstanding.

    Comment by wordslinger Wednesday, Oct 13, 10 @ 1:03 pm
