| | Caption Contest: Project Runway | | 2008-07-25 17:03:11 | | As a paragon of manliness, I cannot admit to ever willingly having watched Project Runway. Even the presence of megababe Heidi Klum cannot balance out the unprecedented gayosity of that show. Still, here I am with a couple of the early contestants, expressing something about something.You know the rules. Submit your caption in the comments. I'll post the ten best ones in a poll on Tuesday. The winner will get to display the In Your Face award, and MIGHT get a copy of my book, IF there are any copies left.

| Two Time Caption Contest Winner | | 2008-07-06 10:55:00 | | The staff and patrons of McCafferty's Pub are proud to announce that once again we are the recipients of a first place award in a prestigious humor competition. The boys in blue over at Mattress Police recently awarded McCafferty's Pub the highly coveted "In Your Face" award for our first place finish in the competitive Mattress Police Caption Contest.
We are especially proud recipients of this renowned trophy because it is the second time that the folks at Mick's Pub have won first place in the eminent humor tournament. Because the competition for the top three places in the event is so stiff, we not so humbly pat our own selves on the back for a job well done.
The object of the contest is to take a normal (or absurd) photograph and insert a humorous caption. The caption judged to be the funniest is the winner. Sounds simple enough, we know, but it looks a lot easier than it is.
Below is our winning entry:
The second place caption, "The girls were shocked to meet a man that e... | | By: McCafferty's Pub | | |

Mrs. Diesel and I will pick our ten favorites and post them in a poll on Tuesday. The winner gets a copy of my book, Antisocial Commentary: From the Secret Files of the Mattress Police.

| | Caption Contest: The Hulk | | 2008-05-02 12:59:19 | | You have to feel a little bad for Ang Lee. He's a respected director who did his best to make a decent superhero movie. Sadly, no one told him that when you're making a movie called The Hulk, you shouldn't make the audience wait 40 minutes before they see the Hulk. Mrs. Diesel and I made the mistake of seeing The Hulk at a matinee; by the time the Hulk started doing interesting stuff like bounding through the desert and biting the heads off missiles and spitting them at helicopters, the theater had been overrun by middle-schoolers who were bored out of their minds after the seventeenth lingering shot of moss on a rock.So now they're pulling a Batman Begins and making another Hulk movie, pretending that the last one never happened. How do you think that makes Ang Lee feel? (And don't say, "anglee," because you wouldn't like him when he's anglee.) Even I Know What You Did Last Summer evidently warrants two sequels (the last one being called -- no joke -- I'll Always Know What You D... | | By: Mattress Police - Antisocial Commentary | | |
| | Caption Contest: Battlefield Earth | | 2008-04-18 16:21:23 | | Ok, I think I've gotten a handle on my recent technical difficulties. Apparently the Humor-Blogs.com site and this one were both hacked. The hacker put a bit of code in a hidden frame on the site that would make a call to another website, prompting you to download some sort of executable file, which was probably a virus.I have removed the malicious code on both sites and alerted my hosting company who, 5+ hours after my initial email this morning, still have not responded. Good show, guys!I will be posting a more detailed message on Humor-Blogs.com later today.So, with that out of the way, we can get on to the caption contest for this week. Since I've already done Iron Man and Batman Begins, I was a little short on material this week. Once again, I had to go back to one of the classics. This time I picked Battlefield Earth, the 2000 sci-fi epic starring John Travolta and Forrest Whitaker. That's me with them in the pic.You know how this works.

Submit your captions in the comments. Mrs. Diesel and I will pick our favorites, and I'll post the top ten in a poll on Tuesday.

| | Caption Contest: The Other Boleyn Girl | | 2008-03-21 17:16:06 | | I finally settled on The Other Boleyn Girl for this week's caption contest. Sorry for taking so long; my car continues to make my life interesting.I haven't seen the movie, but I thought this made a pretty good picture.A little twist this week, to keep things interesting: I'm going to give the winner a copy of my book, Antisocial Commentary: From the Secret Files of the Mattress Police. If the person who wins already has a copy, I'll come up with something else. Maybe a plastic bag of dryer lint.Submit your captions in the comments.

| | | Caption Contest: The Oscars! | | 2008-03-02 23:17:36 | | Yes, it's that time of year again, I guess. I can't stand the Academy Awards. What a load of pretentious crap. But hey, that's no reason for me not to capitalize on the popularity of the Oscars for my own purposes.In case you're new here, that's me rubbing shoulders with Frank Coppola, Marty Scorsese and a couple other blokes. Submit your captions in the comments. I'll post the top 10 on Tuesday. And I'll be back on Monday with a brand new post -- not to mention the second brilliant issue of the Clay Pigeon.

| | Oscar Caption Contest Winners | | 2008-02-29 13:36:23 | | Brad won handily this week, with a caption that was about neither farting nor something being in someone's pocket. Let that be a lesson to the rest of you.Brad, you may proudly display the coveted In Your Face award:VE came in second with:Spielberg: "I don't know who he is either. I thought he was one of those Coen Brothers..."And in third was y not i, whose contribution was:A near perfect hand: Four kings and a joker.Congratulations to the winners. Be sure to come back Monday, when we'll have a special visit from Clay Pigeon publisher and jet-setting bigwig Rusty Gibbons.Thanks to everybody who's been clicking on the Humor-Blogs.com links.

| | | Caption Contest: Rambo 4 | | 2008-01-25 10:33:06 | | Yes, believe it or not, having put the cap on the Rocky series, old Sly is now resurrecting the Rambo franchise. When last we left Rambo, he was assisting the Mujahideen in their struggle to throw rocks at the Soviet army fleeing Afghanistan. Now, still tormented by events that occurred about six wars ago, he becomes a reluctant one man army fighting against something or other that is interfering with his busy Matlock-watching schedule. And I was there when it all went down.Submit your captions in the comments. I'll post the best ones in a poll on Tuesday.

I'm actually on vacation with the family, but I snuck off to an Internet cafe in the shadow of the Sphinx long enough to come up with a caption contest pic.

| | Caption Contest: The Dark Knight | | 2007-12-14 10:19:03 | | How excited am I about The Dark Knight, the sequel to Batman Begins, coming to a theater near me this July? Well, considering that Batman Begins is the Greatest Movie of All Time, pretty excited. For about three hours after seeing Batman Begins, the only words I was capable of speaking were, "That was AWESOME." More importantly, it made me completely forget about Tim Burton's Beetleman, and nearly erased my memory of George Clooney's bionic nipples.So I'm jumping the gun a bit with this one, but hey, did you really want to see me insert myself into the Alvin and the Chipmunks movie? Nobody even wants to see Jason Lee in that movie.You know the rules. Submit your caption(s) in the comments. Mrs. Diesel and I will pick our favorites and I'll post them in a poll on Tuesday. Have fun!Oh, and in case you somehow missed my shameless hawking in every post over the past two weeks, today is the LAST DAY to get my book, Antisocial Commentary, for $9.95 with free shipping. Tomorrow it goes back up to $11.95 with $3.00 shipping. You're saving $5, which means that Huey and I are making virtually nothing on this book. Get it today for someone you love.This post brought to you by humor-blogs.com.... | | By: Mattress Police - Antisocial Commentary | | |
| | Caption Contest: Pulp Fiction | | 2007-11-30 13:36:00 | | So I decided to go with a Pulp Fiction theme this week. At first I thought I'd use a pic of Samuel L. Jackson interrogating that kid, but I didn't have a picture of myself that really worked with it. I did, however, have a nice profile of Climber that worked fairly well. Look at how cute he is.Stop yelling at Climber, you chia-pet gangster!Anyway, I didn't want to subject Climber to your captions, so I did another one with me. You know the drill. Submit your captions in the comments. Mrs. Diesel and I will pick our favorites and I'll post a poll on Tuesday.And remember, you're captioning the second picture with the ugly guy, not the first one with the adorable blond kid.Oh, and in case you missed my pathetic and semi-delirious book-hawking yesterday, here's a recap: Until December 14 you can order my book, Antisocial Commentary, for $9.95 with free shipping. I'll even sign it if you want. After that, the price goes back up to $11.95 + $3 shipping. Go here to order it. ... | | By: Mattress Police - Antisocial Commentary | | |

| | Caption Contest: National Treasure | | 2007-11-16 09:15:00 | | Lately I feel like I should have the phrase "Sorry, I've been really busy" automatically prepended to the body of all my emails. I forgot how time-consuming this whole employment thing is. How the heck do you people get anything important done when you're working all day?Anyway, sorry about not replying to comments and not making my blog visiting rounds. I'm hoping things will normalize a bit in the next week or so.In any case, at least I haven't been too busy to do the really important things, like photoshop myself into a scene with Nicholas Cage in National Treasure.

| | Caption Contest: Planet of the Apes | | 2007-11-02 11:36:00 | | Have you ever had the experience where you can see yourself doing something, and you know you're going to regret it later, but you just can't make yourself stop? Like maybe when you're inserting yourself into the scene in Planet of the Apes where Charleton Heston is kissing Zira the chimp-woman and then posting it to the interwebs for the whole world to see?Sigh. I'm just glad I have my eyes closed. Here goes nothing....You know the drill. Post your caption in the comments. Mrs. Diesel and I will pick our faves and I'll post them on Tuesday. Have fun.

I'll post the results on Friday. And since I did a shout-out yesterday, I guess I'll have to do an actual post tomorrow. Sigh.Joel B.: Ol' Four Eyes. al: Diesel was ejected from the rat pack after suggesting that, instead of "groovy cats," they should refer to themselves as "valleculated felines."Theresa: Diesel: Oh my god, I'm back in the early 60's! What if I run into my parents and I'm never born? Brad: Who's the guy next to me with the terrible lighting? Jocelyn: That evening's game of "Guess Who's Sucking on Sammy's Glass Eye?" ended abruptly when Diesel-- daydreaming about the olive in his "martooni"--absentmindedly swallowed.

| | Caption Contest: The Rat Pack | | 2007-10-19 09:44:00 | | If you're like me, you remember exactly where you were when Joey Bishop died. Otherwise you have a really bad memory, because, dude, it happened like five minutes ago. Maybe you should have that looked at.Actually, I'm writing this at 7:55pm Thursday night, but I'm reading a story on The New York Times website about his death that is inexplicably dated 10/19. So I says to my wife, I says, "Hey, did you hear that Joey Bishop is going to die tomorrow?"And she's like, "No way! Who's Joey Bishop?""You know, the last surviving member of the Rat Pack. Should we try to warn him?""Let me check the handbook."So she hauls out the Handbook for Celebrity-Related Space-Time Continuum Manipulation."How old is he?""89.""Hmmmm. Doesn't look good. Was he ever in a movie with Judy Garland?""I doubt it.""Nope. Can't warn him.""Screw the Handbook!" I said, grabbing the phone book. "Why would the Lords of Time and Space have given us this chance if they didn't want us to save him?" I look... | | By: Mattress Police - Antisocial Commentary | | |

| | Caption Contest: Heroes | | 2007-10-05 17:35:00 | | Hi everybody! Sorry I haven't been around much lately; it's been a crazy week. At times like these I'm glad to have a faithful minion like Grundir to fill in for me. He handily eliminated several memes and made a good showing of doing an almost civil shout-out yesterday. He probably should have mentioned Theresa's review of Antisocial Commentary as well, but don't be too hard on him; it was his first time. And don't take his threats about "tasting his steel" too seriously, by the way. I think he's mostly just trying out a catch phrase. If you're over 4' 2", he is unlikely to slay you.Anyway, on to the caption contest! It's hard to believe I haven't done this one yet, but this is actually the first time I've inserted myself into Heroes. You know the rules: Post your caption in the comments. Mrs. Diesel and I will pick our favorites and I'll post the top ten in a poll on Tuesday. Oh, and be sure to come back on Monday for a special "behind-the-scenes" look at the making of the caption contest photo.Have fun!Listed on humor-blogs.com.... | | By: Mattress Police - Antisocial Commentary | | |

Generally they are very small circles, drawn with chalk. Still, occasionally I get the opportunity to hobnob with the beautiful people. Witness the photo below.Submit your caption in the comments. Mrs. Diesel will pick her favorites and I'll post a poll on Tuesday.And remember, if you would like Grundir the Implacable to guest post at your blog, email him at Grundir@mattresspolice.com.

| | Caption Contest: Star Wars | | 2007-08-24 16:33:00 | | Usually I pick a current movie to insert myself into, but pretty much all the movies out right now suck. So I'm going back to an old classic... sort of.This isn't actually a scene from Star Wars, but I found this photo online and thought it was too good to waste. So what are you waiting for? Gimme a caption already. You know the rules: Submit your caption in the comments by Monday night.

| | Caption Contest: The Simpsons | | 2007-08-10 16:53:00 | | I've been seeing these Simpsonized pictures of bloggers everywhere, which gave me the idea for this week's caption contest. I Simpsonized myself, made a few Dieselifications, and then inserted myself into a scene with Homer. Neat, huh?You know the drill: Post your caption in the comments by Monday night. Mrs. Diesel will pick her 10 favorites (if she's not "busy" like last time), and I'll post them in a poll for your voting pleasure on Tuesday.And remember, today is the last day to pre-order your signed copy of my book, Antisocial Commentary at a big discount. Today it's $9.95 with FREE shipping. Tomorrow it's $11.95 + shipping. Do the math. Order it now!UPDATE 8/11: I'm going to be gone all day today, so it looks like I won't be ordering the pre-ordered books until Monday. That means you have one more chance to get your orders in.

| | Caption Contest: Ocean's 13 | | 2007-07-28 17:20:00 | | First things first: If you're here looking for information on my book, scroll down to the Antisocial Commentary Release Party post. Or, if the sight of my surly face is enough to convince you to buy it, just go directly to the order page. Note: to order the book, you will need to know the name of at least one of the Marx brothers. This prevents spam-bots from filling out the form, unless they have an above average knowledge of classic comedy. In case you don't know the names of any of the Marx brothers (I know, I can't believe it either), just put in "Groucho." And yes, for you fellow smartasses, "Karl" will also work.On to the caption contest! If you're new here, here's how this works: I insert myself into a scene from a movie or TV show, because I'm a raving narcissist. You supply a caption in the comments. Normally the deadline is Monday night, but I'm going to give you until Tuesday at noon this week, since I'm a little late posting this.

| | Photo Caption Contest | | 2007-07-20 22:37:59 | | One of our readers, M. Taylor, sent us a link to an article in Radar Magazine Online titled the Wrong Exit: 100 Worst Places To Die. It is a pretty fun list but this little gem of a photo was the funniest part of the whole thing. If you don’t recognize that bad ass in the hot tub it is John Stossel of 20/20 fame.
This photo could have easily taken Douche Bag of the Week honors, the guy has a #1 necklace on in a grotto like hot tub for Christ’s sake, but I thought a caption contest would be a little more fun. Leave a comment with your best caption for the photo. Sometime next week, Tuesday or Wednesday, we will choose a winner and I will send the winner a $25 iTunes gift card. I’d like to make it more but this is coming out of my own pocket. My caption is below the photo.
What!? I’m John Stossel son!

| | Caption Contest: The Thinker | | 2007-06-29 07:44:00 | | I thought I'd mix things up a bit with this week's caption contest. Normally I post a photo of myself with some iconic figure, and this week's photo is no exception. The difference is that this time it's an actual, unaltered photo. One of the unexpected bonuses of our trip to Michigan a few weeks ago was a chance to see a cast of Rodin's The Thinker, which was visiting Grand Rapids.I couldn't resist posing next to the big lug. So here we are:Submit your captions in the comments by Monday evening. Then I'll see what captions I can come up with, and Mrs. Diesel will pick her favorites.

| | Caption Contest: Spider-Man! | | 2007-05-18 16:48:00 | | I almost scrapped this pic, because I'm afraid of what y'all are going to do with it. But laziness won out over caution and respectability, so here we are. Just keep in mind that originality is a factor, so if you notice a lot of people submitting captions with the same [ahem] theme, you might want to go the other way, so to speak. And again, let's try to keep this in the PG-13 range; my mom reads this blog.A couple other changes this week, in addition to the oddly suggestive photo. First, some of you who submit multiple captions have accused me of not selecting your best caption for the finalists. So this week I'm going to have Mrs. Diesel do the selecting. And she's going to do it blind: I'll read her the captions and she will select her favorites. If there are duplicates from the same submitter, I'll make her pick one of them.Second, others have accused me of doing these caption contests because I'm too lazy to come up with my own content. So how's this for lazy: ... | | By: Mattress Police - Antisocial Commentary | | |

| | Caption Contest: North By Northwest | | 2007-05-04 15:54:00 | | Alfred Hitchcock died on April 29, 1980 -- my tenth birthday. Coincidence? Yes.In honor of the famed director and, um, myself, I present a revised version of the famous biplane scene from North By Northwest. If you haven't seen it, then you may think that Cary Grant and I are running from a biplane that is swooping down on us in an empty field for no apparent reason. Come to think of it, that is what is happening. Cary Grant's character's name is Roger Thornhill, by the way.Submit your caption in the comments. You have until Monday night. I'll pick my favorites and post a poll on Tuesday for you to vote on the best one. The winner, as usual, will take home an autographed digital copy of the picture and the adoration of dozens.Good luck!Humor-blogs.com will meet you at the bus stop.... | | By: Mattress Police - Antisocial Commentary | | |
| | Lost Caption Contest Winners | | 2007-04-28 18:10:00 | | Yes, it's the moment you've been waiting for. No, I'm not going to shave. It's time to announce last week's caption contest winners!We had a lot of new contenders in the finalists, but the clear favorites were two lovely Snarksters. Coming in third was the mysterious and slightly unhinged Drive-By-Blogger.First Place: Crazy Aunt Neva from PuppyToes.The note says "you guys suck" and it's signed "MacGyver".Second Place: Minka the Ice Queen. Jack: "Diesel, this one says your character in this show ranks on spot 59, right after the imaginary horse and before the palm tree to the West entrance! Give me the gun, I am supposed to kill you off!"Third Place: The Drive-by Blogger, proprietor of the eponymous blog.Convinced that the island is the perfect location for his new fertility clinic, Diesel stands guard over his own, rather ample "contribution" to future generations.Congratulations, everyone. Sorry about the trouble with the stupid voting mechanism. I'll get it working bette... | | By: Mattress Police - Antisocial Commentary | | |
| | Caption Contest: Lost | | 2007-04-19 22:48:00 | | Yes, it's that time again. Apparently a few of you were confused last time about how this works, so let me 'splain it to you, good and slow. Every two weeks I post a scene from a popular TV show or movie. I digitally insert myself into the picture (and no, "digitally insert" does not mean I stick my finger in it, Gawpo). So one of those sorry-ass lost souls below is me. I'm the one whose skin tone suggests I actually might have spent some time on a tropical island.Your job is to come up with a suitable caption. Submit your caption(s) in the comments before midnight Monday, April 23. I'll pick my favorite ten and post them in a poll for you to vote on them. The winner takes home an autographed digital copy of the picture and possibly some leftover Dharma Potato Chips.Good luck!If you don't click on the humor-blogs.com link once every 108 minutes, my teeth will start to hurt.... | | By: Mattress Police - Antisocial Commentary | | |
