The number of responses we received for our very last Caption Contest was overwhelming, approximately 200% over our initial estimate! What a turnout!
We said we would do something with the entries, and since a prize was promised, it just wouldn’t be right to delete the post entirely. After several minutes of careful analysis and consideration, we decided to select the best of the top four captions as randomly as possible. So here are the candidates, in alphabotanical odor:
1. Dan: “The tread of the slipper was also very odd…”
2. Diesel: “After many setbacks, in 2008 the Boeing Corporation released the first fully functional hovercat.”
3. DUDR_1: “Next stop, CAT LAND!!!”
4. Finicky Penguin: “They knew he was up to something when he glued the cat to the 1-way mirror.”
Through the magic of computer technology, and rather than conduct a poll, we decided to use the random password generator to make the final decision. The first numeral, either 1, 2, 3 or 4, that appears in the first random password is the official winner. The prize is a password to download free cool stuff. So here we go:
e!jh’(}cC13R>Lk4″(H7zGZjF#uwCFVd6k6EH*$tmy3y(H|9uxLdXU70/X/%zUA
As candidate No. 1, Dan is the official winner of the password that allows him to download the coveted Free Cool Stuff and to rock out with bragging rights forevermore! God are we glad this is over with. And, Dan, the TR Grand Prize Van should be arriving at your driveway sometime after midnight tonight to personally deliver your password. Wait at the curb and wear a red carnation. We’ll see you there!

What a great prize! I’m so happy. I enjoyed this so much I’ve posted a caption contest on my blog, too. I’ll probably use an impartial judge, rather than a random number generator.
I think this may be the first time rolling a 1 has been a good thing for me.

And, Dan, after all that stress just remember… you’ll always be a bigger 1 than I am. Cheers!
