Everybody thought that "Thor" was a crazy old loon, until the point he summoned fire in a birthday cake, that is.

OK, I'm sorry, this has it's merits, but it's SOOOOOOO not second place funny, imho. Last couple voters: what were you thinking?
(Anonymous - Jan 18, 2007 02:05:01 PM)

The funny thing is, I had to agree. I almost pondered not leaving the caption because it wasn't "great", just "pretty good". I am very surprised to be at #2.
(I'll slip my money to Lane later for hooking up the "Make Lane #1 Button" to also "Make Jeff #2" as a side effect)
(Jeff T - Jan 19, 2007 05:12:56 PM)

Oh, the pain. I inconceivably got #2 in this week's contest, but actually moved DOWN in the overall rankings since Lane moved up so much and since the highest scorers from last week didn't participate.

"Grandpa, tell us the gun story again!"
"Oh alright, gather 'round. So, there I was, just me and this Nazi. He slowly raised his arm and I saw the bloodcurdling sight of the inside of a Luger barrel. 'Come on, you kraut bastard, shoot me!', I screamed. BAM! Caught the first bullet in my right hand, like this. BAM! Caught the second in my left. 'Is that all you got?!', I yelled at that fascist son of a bitch. 'Watch me catch the next one with my TEETH!'"

Big fan of this one. The reference to Escaleto alone was enough for me.

(Cassie - Jan 16, 2007 03:40:24 PM)
|
helm - 1. Also, heaume. Also called great helm. a medieval helmet, typically formed as a single cylindrical piece with a flat or raised top, completely enclosing the head. + Dictionary.com Unabridged (v 1.1)

Well, don't I feel silly...
(Cassie - Jan 17, 2007 08:16:06 AM)

Don't feel silly. Mormon was not around in the Medieval period but only because that time period is assosiacted with Europe and not the Americas.
(Anonymous - Jan 17, 2007 03:43:38 PM)
|

Not to mention Mormon would have only caught the very begining of the Medieval time period (if the dates on the bottom of the pages in the BOM are even close).
