Caption Contest

Finalists Announced In Dumb Caption Contest: VOTE NOW!

I know what you're thinking*, "I already voted for FDR three times, enough already!"

While that might be true, casting your ballot for Franklin Delano Roosevelt in the Dumb As A Blog Dumb Caption Contest is much more fun. Sure, it might not be more important than electing a President challenged with leading the country out of the Great Depression while simultaneously thwarting Adolph Hitler's plans of world domination, but on the other hand, there is a Dumb As A Blog T-Shirt on the line here.

So go ahead and vote for your favorite caption for the following photo, and vote to see who wins the shirt! Voting closes a week from today, so vote now, and vote often!

*You are likely only thinking this if you are over 90 years old and a Democrat. Apologies to everyone else.

Dumb As A Blog Dumb Caption Contest: 'The New Meal' Edition

We're not sure who the fresh-faced young boy eating Thanksgiving dinner with President and Mrs. Roosevelt is, but he looks to have the best seat in the White House. 

What is he doing there? What is the President saying? What is the only thing he has to fear? This photo offers up a lot of questions, and if you can enter a caption in the comments section that shines some light on this issue, or at least makes us laugh, you could be the winner of a brand new Dumb As A Blog T-Shirt!

Dumb As A Blog Dumb Caption Contest: 'Holy Hoop Hooligans, Batman!' Edition

I realize that not all of you out there are as old as I am or were raised in New England like me. So before you caption this photo, you should probably know that this picture features four of Batman's most famous arch villains from the camp classic 1960's television show, posing with, for reasons unknown, Hall of Fame NBA coach and executive of the Boston Celtics, Red Auerbach.

(Fun fact: the spell checker on our blogging program suggested I spell his name "paperback.")

Why he is posing with these vicious criminals, I have no idea (he did regularly commit the heinous crime of smoking indoors)  but perhaps you can piece together what these nefarious characters are up to.

Write your best caption to the following photo in the comments section below, and if it is chosen by a jury of your peers to be the finest, you will be the proud owner of a Dumb As A Blog T Shirt.

Dumb As A Blog Dumb Caption Contest: 'Frank and Steins Edition'

I don't know if this harried man is actually named Frank, or even if those are actually beer steins. They might just be big mugs. Is there a difference?  As such, if this photo was actually captioned "Frank and Steins" that would be a terrible, terrible caption, even if I published it on Halloween.

Lucky for everyone, it's not my job to caption this photograph, it's yours!

Finalists Announced In Dumb Caption Contest-VOTE NOW!

If there is one thing that I can tell you about working here at truTV.com and writing on Dumb As A Blog, it's that life is a magical tapestry. Over my time here, I've laughed, I've loved, and yes- I've even learned a thing or two.

Perhaps one of the most important things I've discovered this:

America? She loves a farting clown. 

One day, perhaps I will get that embroidered on a decorative throw pillow or use it as the title of my memoirs. Either way, the following image produced an eye-popping 91 comments, many of which were pretty entertaining to read.

In fact, we got so many quality comments, we found it difficult to pick just one winner. Therefore, in a new feature in the Dumb As a Blog Caption Contest, we have decided to let you, the reader, select the winner of the Dumb As A Blog T-Shirt, from the following finalists:

Winner Announced In Dumb Caption Contest!

The time has come, the captions are in, and it is time to announce the winner.

With an honorable mention to John S, who suggested: "There has to be a better way to get a Dumb as a Blog T-Shirt," we decided that it was best to keep caption contest content out of the caption contest.

Does that make any sense? Still, good job, John. 

The winning caption was provided by "Dave" and appears in it's rightful place, under the photo below:

STANDINGONHEAD_W_AP

It upsets me that they keep the best pocket protectors on the top shelf!

Congratulations to Dave on his big win, we'll be in touch with him to get his address. For all those that didn't win, feel free to take a shot at winning your own Dumb As A Blog T-shirt tomorrow, when the next caption contest goes up.
