We had a whole hatful of entries for our caption quiz yesterday that had to put words into this picture.
Before we get to the winning entry, deserved shoutouts for:Bina, getting all political (as usual) with:
Hillary: "Yes, this time we're really sincere...no more imperialism. Really! Hope 'n' change, baby!"
Cristina: "Oh Hill, stop...you're killing me..."
Reader 'J', a dude with a memory for detail (and gossip scandal) for:
Hey Hillary – did you borrow that blue dress from Monica?
Reader 'M' with a taste for current affairs and Argy gossip with:
6 words to my hermana gringa: "carne de cerdo, bueno para todo"
Reader 'JC' who was perhaps the most forthright. I really can't put up his caption here but I can put up the comment he added to it:
(inappropriate for publication, but no doubt true)
Reader 'S', a dude with a taste for the Kafka with:
Klishtina: "And then the pool boy says, `I am running an independent agency and I don't have to do what you say'"
Hillary: "I hope you put him in his place!"
Translator: "Oh did she ever!"
To be honest, reader 'S' nearly won the prize cos he was the only one who put words in the mouth of the translator, but in the end the WINNAH WINNAH CHIKKIN DINNAH GOES TO TWEETIE, surely a human being destined for greatness if the wit and smarts shown here are any guide. Tweetie wins with:
Really excellent, tweetie (and the more you know about Argentina the more you'll appreciate the fine-tuned humour contained in that single line). Congrats on the fine result and thanks to all for the guffaws this end, including the entries that didn't make the finals board. All good stuff.
