The holiday weekend is over, and the time is night for you to vote for the winners of this week's Caption This contest. Sorry for the one-day delay -- the comments weren't showing up on some computers, including my home comp. As compensation, I upped the number of finalists from ten to an even dozen -- more chances to win! And now you get to decide who goes home with a 60-day game card, a choice of one of seven World of Warcraft action figures as detailed in the original post, or nothing but wistful memories. Just pick the best caption for the above picture. Voting closes tomorrow, Thursday, July 10, at 11:59 PM EST, and winners will be informed shortly afterward by e-mail.
Remember, entrants must be U.S. or non-Quebec Canadians at least 13 years old. If you'd like to peruse the contest's official rules, they can be found here. Thanks for voting!
NOTE: Holyground and Nectarofgods had great entries that unfortunately did not fit into the poll. So I'm putting them here instead, and you can vote for them below:
Holyground:
Six little maids from school are we,
Pert as a school-girl well can be,
Filled to the brim with girlish glee,
Six little maids from school!
Six little maids who, all unwary,
Come from a ladies' seminary,
Freed from its genius tutelary -
Six little maids from school!
Nectarofgods:
Warlock: You know, I really thought those mages up in fancy Stormwind Keep would have the Burning Legion under control by now...
Priest: Yeah, King Llane must be pretty busy to let so many through the gates. Maybe we should warn someone?
Warlock: What are they gonna do...bite our ankles and cast spells at our knees?!?!
Priest: Right. I'll throw a piece of cheese and a cheap engineering pattern on the ground to distract them for now while you Seed of Corruption.

Holyground should really give credit where it is due considering he changes "Three" to "Six" from The Mikado.

Missed the chance to enter but a quote from Alice and wonderland would've suitied it perfectly:
"Oh my ears and whiskers, how late it's getting!"

Now I've got "Three Little Maids From School" on my mind. I think the first time I heard that was in the Pirates of Penzance movie when they come across the opera troupe performing that.

Okay, the Battlestar caption cracked me the hell up. Bravo!

LOL I'm pretty sure these are the Cupcakes of Doom from my server SoE. I think they disbanded though.
