Comments are now closed on yesterday’s caption contest. An astonishing 100 of them made it past my censorious actions.
My personal favorite was from “Scoop,” who wrote:
(AP) — Upon exiting her campaign bus during a stop on her statewide tour, State Treasurer Judy Baar Topinka was told she was under arrest for impersonating a Republican.
Which was your favorite? The commenter with the most votes will win lunch on me at a cheap restaurant of my choosing.
UPDATE: I didn’t see this one:
Wait! A garage sale! Hold the bus!!
UPDATE: OK, based on the votes so far I’m declaring “Garage sale” the winner.
Here’s how this’ll work. The winner should send me an e-mail first with a “secret message” that they’ve made up all by themselves. And then after waiting a few minutes that person should post the same “secret message” here in comments. If the messages and IP addresses match, I’ll send details about the lunch.

Tom’s was the best, “Great bowl cut, just $14 with tip, WOO HOO! How’s that for frugality, Illinois?”

If I had known that lunch with Rich Miller was involved, I would have tried harder!

Ditto. If I only knew lunch with Rich was involved….
My vote goes to the garage sale. Frugal and sweet!

Thanks, Lovie’s Leather, but I have to go with B Hicks: “How many times have I told you, Orville; I don’t want Clyde drinking beer except on Saturday night.”
Working “Every Which Way But Loose” into a post deserves bonus points.

I about fell out of my chair when I read the impersonating a Republican quip.

For this I expect you to mail me a roll and a baked potato from your lunch.
Comment by Tom Friday, Aug 25, 06 @ 4:40 pm
Actually, the winner asked that I donate the price of the lunch to The Little Sisters of the Poor. Her will be done.

Thanks for the vote Tom! I almost went with the Cholla quote: “Well it appears to me that there can’t be too many guys driving around this valley with an ape.†You know, change “valley†to Illinois, add a bus to the comment. But, it just didn’t feel right.

The Howard Dean Quote was hands down the best
