Create A Caption #27: Round 1

by erivera7 on Aug 28, 2009 5:47 PM EDT in Diversions

It's Friday, and that only means one thing at Third Quarter Collapse.

Create a caption competition.

What is Mickael Pietrus, also eloquently known as Air France, pumping his fist for?

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. [NEW]

- 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. [NEW]

- Winner will be announced Monday afternoon or evening. [NEW]

- The contest is subject to change.

Let the contest begin!

Should have got a Palm Pre :)

It wasn't mine. One of my buddies has an iPhone and I had yet to try mobile commenting.

But if I were to get a smartphone (?), it’d be the Pre.

It's a very good phone.

Lacking in apps, battery life isn’t perfect, but it’s got a damn good user experience and operating system. The apps will come and having a physical keyboard is nice.

After narrowly avoiding contact with that blob growing on Delonte's mouth, Pietrus celebrates with a victorious roar.

French-national Mickael Pietrus continues to struggle with the moves for American square-dancing and screams in frustration when his confusion between “docie-doe” and “swing your partner” results in a hip-check from Cleveland guard DeLonte West.
