Yay! It’s time for this week’s Caption Monkey game at Neatorama! Caption this .. um, picklelicious photo and you can win a Free Monkey (or any other animal) Drawing by Ape Lad of Hobotopia.

Contest rule: one caption per comment, no limits on the comments (you can submit as many as you can think of). You can also vote for your favorite (but not your own). Please keep it civil, folks!

The funniest caption will win a free drawing: you name the monkey (or other animal) and Ape Lad will draw it for you. If you don’t win, you can still get one directly from Ape Lad for a nominal fee (believe me: it’s worth it! Here’s Neatorama Monkey, btw)

Good luck!

Update 9/25/07: congratulations to Ben #19 who submitted the winning caption:

Gumby was an ugly baby …

    When Lorena found Mr Jolly Green sleeping with her sister, her anger knew no limits. Needless to say her plan for revenge involved huge pruning sheers and a trip to the state fair to pass something off as the worlds largest pickle. By the time the cops figured it all out, it would be too late to reattach.

    And heck…she might win a prize.
