Time gentlemen please.
Well done nearly everybody. We've had some goodies as always. Four 5s, (two of them Richie's,) and a bunch of 4s.
Windxtasy got us off to a good start with a non-traditional allusion to sailors as heterosexual. Ha ha we all know better don't we.
Then Elmo jumped in with my personal fave. I dont know why. It just makes me laugh.
Followed by a somewhat under-rated entry from Mark who's comment about stoned sailors has the ring of authority.
Then Sausage leapt in with the first gratuitous insult to kiters and I think the first allusion to kiting in long pants in the glorious annals of the caption comp. He garnered the first high score :) It will all end in tears though. It always starts innocently enough, just a few harmless jokes and the next thing you know Harry Connick Jr is saying "You dress up in red and yellow shorts where I come from and its goodbye Red Faces"
Waterloo scored a well deserved 5 for his topical comment on the "space" thread.
Then we were treated to another excellent bit of topical kiter bigotry from Richie with a fine allusion to the dork who flew his kite into the rigging of a tall yacht :)
It occurs to me that its pointless and time consuming telling you what you just looked at so I will cut it short.
My second fave was a tie between Kiwibro's first comment about keeping the cabin boy up, and Windxtasy's playful and well written jibe at yours truly

Of course I can't let Greenleader's welcome reminder of that great old song "Friggin in the Riggin" pass without comment. Thanks for that Greenie. Nor can I ignore Benders pointing out the amazingly apposite similarity with the Mandura Mob. Maybe they need a faster boat :)
I'm torn but
I have decided to give the awld mug to Elmo
Take it away Elmo. (I'm looking forward to this

)
