Way back in history I ran a Caption Competition with this picture:
Since then I have been promising to post the entries for judging and/or making excuses for the delays.
Are you sitting down? In a secure spot from which you are unlikely to topple, with injurious results, when you faint?
OK?
Are you sure?
Quite sure?
Well, then, I have done it at last!
Now, as with previous contests, all you have to do is to take the ones you think are best, second-best, and third-best, and write down the numbers in a comment here in that order, e.g. 34, 21, 58 (yes, Ermintrude, I know there are only twenty-one entries, but this is just an egg sample …).
Scoring will be done with 3 points for a first, two for a second, and one for a third. Votes are also invited and expected from contestants, so if you think your own caption is a better or best one, feel free to vote for it!
By the way, I took the subject to school today to fetch young R, and the kids all wanted to hold the ‘puppy’ and pet her. She loved every minute!
1 “They asked me: “You wanna sit for Mo’s art.”
“Who the hell is Mo, I said?”
2 “Find another piano; I’m busy with my last movement.”
3 You’re barking up the wrong tree, I said pooch – not pianist
4 I can play ‘one pawtato, two pawtato, three pawtato, paw.’
5 “I’ll play any song you like – as long as it’s Bach.”
6 “No Schmackos, no play.”
7 First the treats, then the sonata.
8 “My first piece will be How much is that doggy in the window, and I will conclude my recital with And they call it Puppy Love. I thenk you.”
9 A really good yappy-toire!
10 Don’t you DARE! This is MY piano!
11 And now, ladies and gentleman… I’ll be performing Col’s latest sonata in F sharp minor.
Do listen up!
12 You can sit down on one condition, you don’t play “Bow, Wow, Wow!” again!
13 Shave AND a haircut . . . Two Bites!!!
14 “Yes, I am talking to you!”
15 I’m telling you, it’s not that difficult! If Liberace could do it, so can I….
16 I am fed up with this yap music, out of the way and let me play.
17 “Okay… Bach’s concerto in d minor, and please don’t make a mess of it this time, my ears are very sensitive..”
18 ‘You can stop calling me a caterpillar now. See, it was me all along under that fluffy stuff!’
19 “No way you’re sitting down! . . . I’ve heard you play before . . . “
20 It is not tuned, I promise you.
21 “One more step and the photographer gets it!”

What if I only liked two?

Then vote for two. And, to confuse the issue thorougly, give second and third places to the same one. Then that caption would tie with your first place!

Trust you to be difficult – now I have to figure out whether it is fair for one entrant to get a first, second and third place vote from the same person!
