Week 2 of 13 | Contest 5

This is the classic Abinadi/King Noah scene from the BoM. I know not everyone is a fan of the religious paintings, but I like them. :) And it's early so...have at it! |

Auditions for the Zarahemla Community Theater spring musical were lackluster at best until Abinadi blew everyone away with his rendition of "Bess, You Is My Woman Now."

i love this caption!
(Julie H - Apr 17, 2006 11:31:52 AM)

i was going to say that i thought that this caption should have one, and then the 19th vote disappeared and now it has won. hmmmm.
i hope that this win is a good sign for what we'll be seeing this year from the Zarahemla Community Theatre this season.

and yes... i did mispell "won" as "one". it's 1:15... ¿what do you expect?

Whoa--is this my first win ever? Somebody cue the orchestra whilst I curtsey.

Is it? Seems like you have before. If not...congrats!

Please explain more so the less-enlightened can be in on the joke........... :)
(Jason - Apr 21, 2006 01:34:37 PM)

Yeah I didn't vote it very high either becuase I didn't get it. It turns out that the line "Bess, you is my woman now" is from a real musical. When I found that out I could see why it is funny. (I also felt quite uncultured)
You have never won michelle? I am suprised. It seems you are always in the top ten.
We all stand and cheer as your curtsey.
(Michael - Apr 21, 2006 02:04:48 PM)

More is when you get something in addition to what you had before or in a greater amount than what someone else has. I'll use it in a sentence. "Lane drinks more Diet Dew than anyone I've ever met."

Well, you know, brevity IS the soul of wit. Since I know at least one person who penalizes lengthy captions, I thought it best to keep it short and let your imaginations fill in the rest.

King Noah: "Is it in this room?" Abinadi: "Yes, that's 18" Alma: "Is it to King Noah's left?" Abinadi: "No, 19" Amulon: "Is it the wine pitcher?" Abinadi "No, but close, it's the fallen goblet. OK, guys that's 3 in a row, you have to let me go now." King Noah: "Best of 7!"

Noah: The circle is now complete. When I left you I was but the learner. Now I am the master.
Abinidi: Only a master of evil, Noah.
Noah: Your powers are weak old man.
Abinidi: You can't win, Noah. If you strike me down, I shall become more powerful than you can possibly imagine.

Plagerism...Boooooo!
(Jason - Apr 17, 2006 04:46:26 PM)
|
|
there was no intention of people thinking that the material was original. the quotes are supposed to be absurd. (but if you're going to be uptight, don't forget to boo the queen lyrics too.)
(Anonymous - Apr 18, 2006 12:39:05 AM)
|
|
Aren't about 90% of the captions plagerised?
(Nate - Apr 18, 2006 09:12:17 AM)
|
|
I don't think you should be uptight about plagiarism if you can't even spell it right.
(Anonymous - Apr 18, 2006 10:36:49 AM)
|

I think nate was actually defending your position. FYI.
(Brian - Apr 18, 2006 11:05:55 AM)

that comment wasn't for nate, it was for jason. who cares if it's plagiarized anyway if it's funny and fits the picture?
(Anonymous - Apr 18, 2006 11:12:13 AM)

|
I just don't like plagiarism when someone copies someone elss's caption. From there I think Anonymous is right. What is the reference too anyway? Star Wars?
(Michael - Apr 18, 2006 11:49:21 AM)
|
|
The comment was made in fun, not a serious critiism. You found a clever way to insert the star war dialouge directly into this caption, word for word, that is all I intended to point out. That is actually what I was attempting to point out. Maybe I should have used a smiley face or something......

Referencing a movie (or other) quote in a clever way = good.
Copying someone's caption verbatim (or close to) = bad.
(Lane - Apr 18, 2006 02:19:40 PM)
|
|
I know, let's have a long, ongoing debate about whether a lame attempt to parody a classic movie scene in a sophomoric game involving the illegal use of a religious picture constitutes plagiarism or not. Yeah, that's the ticket! Loads of fun.

To get to Abinadi, you go through Lehi, past Nephi, turn west in Moroni, south in Ephraim, and then through Kolob. If you get to Enos, you've gone too far.

When Abinadi challenged Noah's court about the inferior quality of their beards, there were several reactions: offence, incredulity, and snarls...but the poor beardless guards could only sit in the corner, cowering.

King Noah gets pretty angry, throwing down his cup and breaking his sword, after Abinadi calls him "Queen Noah" It was an honest mistake on Abinadi's part, however. He thought maybe it was like the bearded lady or something.

this one deserves a higher score!

Except for the fact that it's not funny
(Brent - Apr 19, 2006 01:17:36 PM)

Speaking of things deserving a higher score, Jason, you landed yourself on the wall of shame this week. I have no sympathy for a caption you think is good (or maybe your own) not doing well if your just going to sit there and tank everyone else.
(Brent - Apr 19, 2006 01:24:48 PM)
|
|
What are you talking about?
(Jason - Apr 19, 2006 01:51:31 PM)
|
|
Oh I see now. The wall of shame says I score pretty low. Nothing intentional, I just find a lot that don't seem to be very funny. I guess maybe I'm being too harsh...by the way, this workout caption is not mine....if it makes you feel any better, mine are doing terrible this week.... :)
(Jason - Apr 19, 2006 01:56:34 PM)

Sorry, Jason, maybe I was being a little harsh on you. This is supposed to be fun after all. Which brings me to a question that I will ask to all in the main comment section on the picture

Reason # 12 Why sequels are a bad idea:
Lord of the Rings Book 9 - "Revenge of the Shire"
Having lost everything in his divorce and being now both old and clumsy, Aragorn has once again broken the sword of Elendil. The shards of Andurill lay before King SamWise Gamgee. Aragorn's chances before the Hobbit court did not look good. There would be no ghost soliders to save his butt this time.
