Recently I ran across a great site that cracks me up to no end. GarfieldMinusGarfield takes the Garfield comics, removes the orange cat and anything he says and just leaves Jon there looking crazy and talking to himself. I find the comics so much funnier without Garfield in them. I can’t explain it, you’ll just have to check them out yourself.
As I was checking out GminusG this morning, I came up with the idea for a caption contest. The idea is simple; start with a photo of me, add a caption, make me laugh, win money.

Rules (yeah, there are always rules):
- Download the photo above and add in your own funny caption
- Upload the file to flickr (or anywhere else you can store a photo)
- Leave a comment on this post and include the photo (if you aren’t sure how to add a photo in the comments, just leave the URL where you uploaded the photo)
- All entries must be received before 11:59 PM, Sunday, September 14, 2008
- The caption that I find the funniest wins $10 via Paypal
- You can enter as many times as you want.
{Please note, I reserve the right to remove any comments with vulgar captions. I have no problem with vulgar captions, just don’t post them on my site. You can send those directly to me at john [at] johnhawkinsunrated.com.
No, the vulgar captions can not win the contest.}

Thanks Dave for getting us kicked off!
@4thPlace using words that I'm forced to lookup before laughing may or may not get you bonus points. I'm not sure.

It's about originality!! That's how I roll!
David stole my idea (swear I had it first). Something about checking for accidents. But think I got another one that is better…posting it soon.
Ok, actually came up with a few. Some ok. Some craptacular:

OK, there seems to be an issue with visitors trying to include HTML in the comment box. If you want to enter the contest, upload your photo and then include the URL to the image in your comment. I'll edit the comment and fix it manually. I'll also try to solve the HTML issue for comments.
Thanks and sorry for the trouble.
@Jason Love 'em!

Everyone's been so awe-inspiring….
