Oh dear did I accidenty kill the previous Caption This #94 thread by winning the most kudos?
It looks stalled anyway, so I thought I might give it a kick-start, if that's ok?
C&P'd from the previous thread, closing date altered;
"Winner is chosen by highest number of Kudos.
In case of a draw, OP chooses the winner.
The Winner posts a new photo.
Closing time is Saturday 21st April about 5pm.....ish...maybe......
Good luck and have fun"
Solved! Go to Solution.

Jimmy's MO is to always post a pic after his comments to show his mood.
So the winner is still Enigmabear IMO
"Jimmy's MO is to always post a pic after his comments to show his mood."
Do not.
"Jimmy doesn't seem to visit often,"
Do to.

I guess it's because I don't come here often have never won, so didn't know the procedure.
To further complicate things I've now ticked Jimmy as the winner (as advised by DaveC), seeing Enigma has not come forward.
After all the hemming and hawing, I hope Jimmy takes up the new Caption This #96.
I for one, would be sad to see the Caption This thread discontinued.
Thanks for the tick anyway! : )

(BTW, I have 2 other ideas for future comps)
Sorry, I was busy working, and sleeping. Not necessarily in that order.
Glad you all are continuing.

Personally, I would be disappointed if Caption This ended because of the goings on in #95. This is not typical. Icy's list includes 10 people who voted. That's more than the number of people who post in a week in some other places. While current affairs, politics and religion are interesting, Caption This and tommy.irene bring us fun and pleasure - they help balance the board. I hope we continue for now and eventually call it quits one day for the right reasons.
I hope it doesn't stop either. I love looking at the funny photos even if I don't always contribute.
Occasionally (and this is a confession) I copy a photo and post it elsewhere and ask for captions.
I don't know where people get all the photos they put up here, that's why I have pinched a couple. I hope they are not copyright.
But it is one of the best threads on this board. IMO.
i find the easiest way to find pictures/cartoons is to use google.
type in 'funny pictures of ....' puting a subject in at the end, like 'people' then do your search, then select images at the top of the page. usually gives you lots of choices. if you dont get what you want fiddle with the search titles.

Thanks David.
I like the caption this competition but if anyone is after ideas for another competition to run at same time, on another smaller board I am on we have one that seems to be working. Each week someone posts a subject. It can be anything eg What's the best thing that you have done that you didn't think you would enjoy? or What's the scariest moment you have experienced? or What's the worst hotel/motel you have ever stayed in? or What's the best bargain property in your area for under $250, 000? (I strugged with that as I am in melb)
Stuff like that.
We just call it the 7 day challenge.
