Jalopnik's Bad-Taste Photo Caption Contest, Day 5: The Wi(e)nner!
Alas, all good things must come to an end. And thankfully for some readers, they no longer have to look forward to a daily photo of a man doing the tube snake boogie with a Range Rover's tailpipe while gussied up like a Polk Street hooker. You know what we're talkin' bout, SF kids. In the end, there can be only one. And that one comes to us from Elliot: "Sure, the US was nice, but what Sigmar really missed about his semester at the Rhode Island School of Design was the parties."
It's got a certain je ne sais quois to it that was just that much of a cut above some other superb entries. Plus, we just like Rhode Island refs in general. We're not sure what Elliot won yet, but we promise it'll be something we picked out ourselves, it won't be pre-worn socks, and it'll have something to do with cars.
Anyway, here're a few more entries we found amusing:
Unofficial Second Place:
"The rest of the rugby team had thought that Gavin s oft-professed love of all things British was a mere bit of bluster, until after the fourteenth pint he produced the photographic evidence from his wallet." -Spencer
Other Worthies:
"Although Range Rovers do have a reputation for being temperamental, most owners find some flowers or a box of chocolates to be sufficient to keep the car running reliably. However, if you give the car an inch, she will take a mile, as this poor fellow found out." -Dylan
"Anxious to investigate the very Earthlike class M planet, the Enterprise away team beams to the surface. Almost immediately, it occurs to them that the Prime Directive says nothing about laughing one's ass off." -Tom
And, one more time, if you really need to see the uncensored version, click here. Thanks for playing everyone, and remember: keep one foot in the gutter, and one fist in the gold.
