Oh, my. Mrs. Z (the artist formerly known as Beyonce) has a lot to answer for with this:

And now, to announce our winner of the Disney Week caption contest. In a packed field of creative competitors, one stood out.

For lo, I am very dirty-minded.

Once you go black, you can never go back…

Congratulations and imaginary accessories to PaperPusher, to whom we hypothetically present the virtual, yet very lovely Dabby Reid necklace in “dog collar” length:

We’re a little bit late today. If I’d had the assistance of Eiko the assistance dog, however, I’m sure I would have been on time. From Eikootje’s Flickr stream. So THAT’s what Eurodisney looks like.

Either people are not so into the My Little Pony as we have been led to believe, or bubblegum pink is just not Elisabeth Hasselbeck’s colour.

And I think we all know which of the two it is.

In any case, it is time to announce the winner of our highly prestigious Friday caption contest. Given our voyeuristic interest in scandals, there was only one choice.

The MLB steroid scandal investigation took a new turn when baseball officials learned of the new My Little Pony/Roger Clemens connection.

Congratulations and lucky horseshoes to Liz! And also, hypothetical trophy accessories:

It’s the Juicy Couture Equestrian Princess Fluffy Hobo Bag, which is way more name than you’d think a hobo could carry, but a snazzy handbag to say the least.

And at 16″W x 9″H x 9″D, it can fit an entire (small) MLP stable at once.

You know what to do. Just think “Whoopi-level” rather than “Sherri-level” in terms of wit and you’ll be fine.

Some of you persevered and managed to post, technical difficulties notwithstanding, and we appreciate that. While the Manoloelves tinker behind the scenes and restore our blog to readability, life as we know it goes on, and that includes announcing the winners of our Friday Caption Contest.

The president finally had to admit it: we have a problem with overpopulation.

Congratulations and imaginary shoes to bobbie-sue! We’re a soft touch for a social issue around these parts. And which imaginary shoes will we hypothetically present? These: the slightly insane, yet superfantastic Veronica from Vince Camuto:

You know how it works, so work it in the comments. And yes, technically this deserves the tag “Baby Clothes.”

It is time to crown our champion (”tiara” our champion? I was always partial to WonderWoman) for last week’s Friday Caption Contest. It was a heated bout which brought out the best in our contestants, as you can see from the entries.

But there can be only one.

An unexpected complication developed when
the Justice League discovered the Fountain of Youth.

Congratulations and blue Kryptonite to gamma, to whom we hypothetically present the honorary imaginary supershoes, the astro-fabulously creative Winnie mystery wedge boots:

Shape of: a superhero! Form of: a contest!

Okay, I hated the Wonder Twins as much as anybody, but how often can you write “captions in the comments, please” without going completely nutzoid?

These delightful beach capes come from Bo Bo Brooklyn.

I take the blame for one of our least lively rounds. Alas, bananas appear to be devoid of talent as a muse and nobody appears to have seen that Twilight Zone episode.  That said, we do have a winner in our most challenging challenge ever, and it is time to announce her:

In what can only be described as a ghastly lapse in judgement the chef for the state dinner honoring the King of the Bananna people mistook the protocol book for a cookbook, effectively severing all diplomatic ties with Bananna Land before they had begun.

Congratulations and whipped topping to gemdiva, who walks away with the trophy once again. Cheeta, what do we have for our winner today? What else could we chose but the Glory leopard thong from Donald J Pliner?
