And speaking of winners. The newly anointed February caption champ is …
Pastorflash!


And this is his caption:
“Yeah, but the overhead is really manageable.”


Special props go out to New York Times editor extraordinaire, Kathleen McElroy, who jumped in to judge in place of Mr. Newman.

And speaking of winners: Congrats to Born Last Century, who Andy said nabbed the top spot “by a nose,” with this entry:

Yea, yea I get it: First black president takes office, massive financial bailouts, health-care overhaul. But Tiger Woods did what?

Congratulations, Born Last Century. And everyone else — keep those captions coming.

And speaking of winners: We have a couple of them for our last contest — as judged, once again, by our soon-to-be-departing-but-nevertheless-loyal Local colleague in Brooklyn, Andy Newman. Thanks, Andy. 


And here was the submission by our winner, “HaHaHa” (appropriate, no?):

Don’t worry if you get hurt from the landing, our government is going to set-up a sweet universal health-care system.

In second place was this caption from “easi-lee”:

Hey buddy, the cops made a mistake. You don’t have to move to Staten Island. You can move to Brooklyn!

(Good one, even though we can’t vow that Andy Newman was completely unbiased in his judgment.)


Thanks to all who participated. Now try again!
