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 ...


"As I've raised it from a gherkin, the Giant Pickle has played many important roles in my life, from suckling infant, to illuminative teacher, to secret lover..."

Gardening shoes $40; several pounds of growth hormones $135; a few gallons of high-end pesticides $600. Winning the Annual Mutant Vegetable Award... priceless!

The first prize was finally hers, but little did she know it was a grimmer fate that which awaited her precious pickle: the prep table at the nearest McDonald's.

"and slowly, ever so slowly, Chad backed silently away from the fairground tent... for today he knew that he would never be able to satisfy Alexandra again."

Unknown to her loving husband, nine months earlier Joy had an affair with the pickleman. This is a rare appearance of Joy and her bouncing baby gherkin at the county fair.

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.

...moments later Alexandra was disgusted when she learned that it was not a giant pickle, but really a stool sample left from the Jolly Green Giant.

This was really hard to pick - there were so many good ones!

I like this one that came from left field by Ben #19. Completely unexpected, but made me snort my milk! "Gumby was an ugly baby ..."

Congratulations Ben!
