Do you feel that no matter what you do, you'll never really leave a legacy in this world? Well, now you have an opportunity to make a difference! Namely, you have the opportunity to pick the winner of this biweekly period's Caption This! contest. Members of the WoW Insider staff have chosen their favorite captions of the above picture from the original post. Now you get to decide who goes home with a 60-day game card or a Legendary Thread or Less QQ More Pew Pew t-shirt from J!NX. Just pick the best caption for the above picture. Voting closes tomorrow, Wednesday, October 15 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 check out the contest's official rules, they can be found here. Happy voting!

And now I'm really wishing that Blizzard will add "Tome of Polymorph: 8-Year-Old Girl".
It might help stop people from hitting my sheep in PuGs.
"Aww, how can I bring myself to hit a little girl?"

I guarantee you that every single polymorph you cast would be spammed by my shadowbolts if it meant I could harm a Gnome.

3 girls, 1 picnic basket.

I'm sorry, but these suck. I read much funnier ones when looking through the entries. Who picks these?
Thepitt Oct 14th 2008 10:23AM
I dunno, but I bet they play an undead in game...
They have an undead sense of humor... oh wait, sorry undead folks, the moderator's sense of humor is fullly-dead.
There were funny entries, but these suck. Nothing worth voting for.

I refuse to vote because "three gnomes, one basket" was not an option. who's with me?
Keyra Oct 14th 2008 11:00AM
Um...maybe because every single one of them (and anything else that was overtly sexual and/or offensive in nature) had been voted down by obviously numerous people in the original post? Just sayin'...
Stag Oct 14th 2008 10:33AM
I vote for "three gnomes, one basket" too.
Bip Bippadotta Oct 14th 2008 11:17AM
I concur. None of these were really funny, so I didn't vote.
vlad Oct 14th 2008 11:42AM
ive never voted in any of these. liz has such a pre-pubecent sence of humor. i honestly never expect there to be a funny one.
i may start hosting a clone competition on my site with actual funny captions just to motivate WI staff to l2funny. however im to lazy to do it right now :)

This just in: in addition to proving once again that he is a jerk 24/7 and not just seasonally, "vlad" now freely admits that he's a thief who can't come up with anything original, but must steal ideas from those he doesn't like on WoW Insider. Stay tuned for more information as it becomes available.

As for the "three gnomes, one basket" and "who judges these?" posts...doesn't anyone read the rules? Now while I will personally agree that there were a lot of what I considered to be funnier comments in the original post, I thought that what they chose were good ones based upon the rules. As for why "3 gnomes, 1 basket" wasn't chosen? It was in reference to a pornographic film and apparently was decided to be in poor taste - again, according to the rules.
What are the rules that determine the judging, and WHO judges them?
(6) Judging: All submissions will be judged by Weblogs editorial staff according to editorial merit, to be assessed solely by the Weblogs staff, whose decisions are final. The following criteria shall be used and will be weighted equally: humor, keenness of observation, and pertinence to the contents of the photo (the “Judging Criteria”). The judges will select the top ten (10) captions which will be voted on by the public. In the event an insufficient number of eligible entries are received, Sponsor may select fewer than ten (10) captions.
NOTE: Sponsor reserves the right in its sole discretion to exclude any caption from consideration that contains language that it deems to be offensive, obscene, demeaning, derogatory, in poor taste, defamatory or otherwise infringing on the rights of privacy or publicity of any person or entity.

Hey Keyra you should try pulling that stick out of your...

The last contest had some funny finalists I do remember actually having a tough time picking one because most were good. This list however is just as bad as every contest before it. Terrible terrible picks. No vote.
The Claw Oct 14th 2008 6:06PM
I just can't vote in this one, none of the options are even remotely funny.
