The winner of Caption Contest 158 (Zachary Kanin's boy amidst heads in sand) is"You got that? Three bottled waters, two sodas, one coffee, and six straws."Thus Virginia continues its relatively recent ascent in the standings.
Robin McCauley (Newport News, VA)
In Caption Contest 160 (Tom Cheney's hell house for sale), the nominees are
"The heating system is pretty old but very reliable."My loser:
Shawna Bryan (Andover, OH)
"I strongly recommend that you read the fine print on this one."
Phil Schatz (New York, NY)
"The seller is extremely motivated."
Mariam Erenburg (New York, NY)
"This one has been on the market for an eternity."
