Due to popular demand, one Hero of Caption thread. The first pic is from the BDM.

Go for it browncoats!

Anybody who disagrees with any of this violently can do so. But no matter what you do, "You can't take the sky from me".

You could do that yourself (if I don't get there first) - edit your post, and up above the post, you can change the way the title appears on the main board (at least 'till someone changes it back). I don't think anyone will mind.

Edit: It would get old if we had to edit them all that way, though...

My congratulations to all who entered their captions, especially CAPTAINCOUPI, with a number of good ones.
I will not be looking at any more captions, so sorry if you missed out.
The vote will begin later today, and the link will be http://whiting.no-ip.info/betatest/hoc

I will post again when the vote is up, as I still need to get the website uploaded.

The website is still in development, but should work enough for voting. Once again well down browncoats, Round #2 starts on friday!

Anybody who disagrees with any of this violently can do so. But no matter what you do, "You can't take the sky from me".

Monday, March 5, 2007 4:01 PM

I have uploaded the website, let the voting commence. url is currently http://whiting.no-ip.info/betatest/hoc

When Round #2 starts, It should have changed to http://whiting.no-ip.info/andman/hoc

That's assuming that I can get my FTP accounted sorted.

VOTE AWAY!

Well I don't think we've had the official tally yet so it's not "the winner" winner but thanks for the kind word nonetheless.

Edit: It looks like the official vote board is running again. Looks like I'm out of the running but there are still some worthy captions to vote for.

I'm not feeling that way. Gettin' plenty of ego boo right here. Besides it's not like the point of caption games is to win. The point is the captions. Plus I hear it's an honor just to be snubbed.

Pshaw. If you are over the age of twelve you are not too young for 'Blazing Saddles'. It's still America's most profound work on racism (and bigotry in general) as well as being a darn tootin' good parody of the old style Hollywood westerns. Rent, I say, rent.

I'm only 21 and I know 'Blazing Saddles' like I was nursed to it. It doesn't have anything to do with age, it has more to do with whether people seek out classic movies or just what's currently on the idiot box (that's a TV if anyone is unsure).

I think someone with the necessary computer expertise, and the inclination, should do a 'Blazing Saddles' montage. Not me though, cos I am technologically deficient. Whoever did would be guaranteed of a great many people's appreciation and laughter.

Just to check your opinion:

The vote started on the 5th, and is scheduled to stop allowing votes on the 9th (so you will be able to vote on the 8th, but not on the 9th).

During this time, there has been a total of 12 votes.

Do you want the vote to end early? I can end it today if you wish and start round #2 either today or tomorrow.

PS. Sorry Davshayne, I just didn't understand your caption.

Not being in the USA, it is impossible for me to see "Blazing Saddles".

Pretty sure it was on the Beeb, (the BBC to y'all over the other side of the pond), just before Christmas. Not withstanding that, it's something you should have no trouble finding over here.

No need to apologize. As I said captioning is the point not the contest that surrounds it. You should however make the effort to track down 'Blazing Saddles'.

'He road a blazing saddle
He wore a shining star
His job to offer battle
To bad men near and far

'He conquered fear and he conquered hate
He turned dark night into day
He made his blazing saddle
A torch to light the way'

Just a portion of the theme song. I think it says it all really.

I live in Australia, so seeing 'Blazing Saddles' overseas isn't impossible, just probably a little difficult. I would fully recomment that you watch this movie though, because it is pretty much one of the all-time greatest comedies.
