Create A Caption #34: Round 1

by erivera7 on Oct 16, 2009 2:54 PM EDT in Diversions

It's been all smiles, so far, with Vince Carter and Dwight Howard in exhibition play. But what, exactly, are they so happy about?

You decide.

Rules:

I'm sure everyone here is familiar with a "create a caption" competition, but in case someone here doesn't know what this type of contest is ... basically a picture is provided and you, the reader, attempt to come up with a quick sentence describing what's occurring in the photo. The line can be funny, stupid, witty, etc.

I'll be a judge but I like to have another collective voice determining the winner, that way there's a bit of a consensus among the community. What I prefer for everyone here to do is this ... if you like the caption a fellow member has come up with, "recommend" it. That will be 'your vote', in essence. If you don't know how to "recommend" a comment, go to the comment you like, click on 'actions', then click on 'rec'. You can "recommend" multiple captions/comments, if you want.

So for a quick recap.

- Write a quick sentence describing what's occurring in the photo.

- If you like a caption/comment that's been written, "recommend" it.

- After you "recommend" a caption/comment, write something (like +1, for example) to indicate you like the sentence a 3QC member has written.

- The contest will last four days, so whichever caption/comment gets the most recommendations, wins. In case of a tie, I'll determine the winner.

- There will be two rounds in the competition. In the first round (Friday/Saturday), submissions are made and votes are tallied. At the end of the second day, the submissions that garnered four or more "recs/votes" will advance. In the final round (Sunday/Monday), votes are tallied for the eligible submissions.

- Winner will be announced Monday afternoon or evening.

- The contest is subject to change.

Let the contest begin!

The Celtics are so old,

VInce: Look at that gay henna on JJ’s side

"Pietrus and Gortat sing the National Anthem"

It's not a dunk unless your hand makes contact with the rim. Yeah, I'm talkin' to you, "Superman..."

Dwight: Hahaha Vince I told J.Will that Emimen was performing during half time!
Vince: Haha! Is that why he’s so excited?! I thought he always ran around showing everyone his knuckles.
