Caption competition #26 winners
This week's caption competition seems to have tickled your funny bones, with a record 99 entries. There were so many good ones that choosing the winners was almost impossible.
The winners were:
First: Combat Banker - Confused, Vader spent his early years hunting down the Rebel Appliance.Second: Rodney Dill - Vader had never seen a more wretched hive of soap scum and villainy.
Third: Longtime Lurker - The initial concept for R2D2 was less than impressive.
Honourable mentions:
Kev - Your lack of a rinse cycle is disturbing.Full Fullish - "Oh how I miss Padme!"
Yet Another Limey - Lord Vader regretted taking CURE’s advice on not separating his whites from darks.
Two Cents - Damn...I hate when Chewbacca uses the washing machine before me, there's fur everywhere.
SmokingGun - BusinessWeek: Continuing with it's expansion Wal-Mart has opened it's first store in space on the Death Star.
Special award for most prolific entrant goes to Rodney Dill, with no less than 19 entries. After his winning entry above (which left me giggling helplessly for some time), I also loved:
Just as he was leaving Al's Used Droid lot, Darth realized he'd been taken by the Jawas once again."The Door, you should close. Too cold in here, it is getting."
"Do you speak Bocce?"

I can't argue. Of the competition, the "Rebel Appliance" pun was that one that had me worried most that I'd have trouble beating. Congrats Combat Bunker.

Join me Rodney, together we will RULE the... oh never mind it's a bit overdone.
Thanks man! And yes the only satisfaction I get out of life is beating Adjustah at something. Rare that it is. That's one copy of the Star Wars Xmas Special that you owe me, Nerf Herder!

Rebel Appliance sounds like it should be a brand! A lot of funny posts all around.

Rebel Appliance sounds like it should be a local "fly by night", cash upfront, type of company, a subsidary of Seymour & DoLess Ltd.

Combat,
Did you think that up yourself?

As far as I know. Although I must admit, it does sound like it could have come out of "Hardware Wars". Have not seen that in years.

"You'll laugh, you'll cry
You'll kiss three bucks goodbye."
$3.00 movie? Hardware Wars was a long time ago.

"No Matter how hard he tried Vader just couldn't get rid of those rings around Uranus."
