It was ’80s heaven on Tuesday as 340+ people tried to explain what was happening in a backyard with some very primitive Walkie Talkies. There were so many hilarious captions it was difficult to choose a winner.
So I started with the honorable mentions:
Munk!
“We represent the Walkie-Talk Guild…”
Tucker!
“The range of early walkie-talkies was somewhat limited.”
LizzieFriend!
“The ’80s: It was the best of times, it was the worst of fashion crimes.”
Tana Adams!
“The backseat boys.”
M.R.!
“But Mom, we just saved the planet.”
But in the end, there could be only one winner….
CONGRATULATIONS to Curt!!
Bonus points for thinking Little Nathan (that’s me in the blue track suit) needed some gold chains to complete his incredible ensemble (and his Wii remote FROM THE FUTURE).
Thanks so much to everyone for entering, and Curt, please contact me for your prize!!
Barbara Kloss says
OH that's hilarious! Great pick on the caption. I laughed out loud.
Ted Fox says
Gotta give it up for Curt–"little Johnny here needs some gold chains for his track suit" sealed it for me.
And way to rock the Sue Sylvester, Nathan.
Jenny says
Now we just need to photoshop in some bling and a Wii remote. =)
Congrats to Curt!

Nathan, what are those holes on the photo?
LizzieFriend says
Congrats, Curt! Loved yours–that outfit really is screaming for some gold chains. And maybe a gut, a hairy chest and a receding (but heavily gelled, of course) hairline.
Nathan Bransford says
anon-
Thumbtack holes.
janet says
and he was able to squeeze in a meme from "the future"…boom goes the dynamite.
Is there a letter that comes before A-team?
Shari says
Those are hilarious!!
Mr. D says
Can't wait for the next contest.
Krista V. says
Congratulations, Curt! The honorable mentions were great, too. I especially liked Munk's and Tucker's.
Munk says
Wunderbar.
D.G. Hudson says
Congrats to Curt and the Honorable mentions!
I see Curt has experience in negotiations. Ask for as much as you can get and see what falls out. . .
BTW – wondered if there was any conscensus on the Wednesday question?(about discussing your story idea?)
Ted Cross says
Not bad! I think I'd have gone simpler with something like, "No more asparagus or the blondies get it!"
Kristi Helvig says
Hilarious caption! Thanks for a fun contest.
Mira says
Lol – great choice! Nice work, Curt, very funny.
So many of the captions were laugh out loud funny, and there was one that was scary and gave me chills – by Nettie? – anyway, extremely impressive caption talent on this here blog.
Totally fun contest. And you know, Nathan, it's never too late for some gold chains.
Corinne O'Flynn says

I was going to ask which one was you, thanks for clearing that up Nathan. I can't believe I missed the original post!
Matthew Rush says
Also, is that a storm trooper action figure in your hand, or what?
Tana Adams says
Awesome! Thanks for the honorable mention. And Curt, a well deserved win.
L.G.Smith says
Congrats! A most deserving win. Very funny.
Allen B. Ogey says
I don't visit the blog in a while and I miss a contest….
Doubtless to be filed under too-little-too-late, here is my belated entry:
"Mom, the 80's just called and they want their track suit back. What, we're living in the 80's? Damn!"
Allen B. Ogey says
Congrats to the winner, by the way.
The Red Angel says

Great job! Love the captions.
And Nathan: What a cute little boy you were! =) Hope to see more caption contests.
Sommer Leigh says
These were awesome! I loved reading through them and laughed until I had tears in my eyes.
Also Nathan, it looks like you're holding a pez dispenser to me. Maybe a Storm Trooper pez dispenser?
wry wryter says
Congrats to Curt but still, you guys are shoeless and I swear those are the whitest socks I've ever seen.

Thumbtack holes, Nathan? Not small caliber bullet holes? I mean, the blond hairdo wasn't THAT bad.
Congratulations to Curt and all honorable mentions!
