So, our return to this format was a little disappointing. What seemed like a picture sure to inspire clever comments didn't really. But, every contest has a winner so.....
First Place
Jeremy Frye with "Little Timmy, six, wants one day to get married, but as he looks on at this bizarre ritual, even he can see the symbolism. The groom desperately clings to what little of the power hasn't been wrestled away from him by the bride, as she dutifully saws through his log."
Once again, Jeremy has managed to capture what I was aiming for but missed. He has locked onto the problems of gender roles within marriage and added a strong dose of emasculation.
Minus ten points for cutting off his hoo-hoo. Score = 90. (Give me a break here, we're working on a curve.)
Second Place
David Layman with "We'll call it 'Wonderboy!"' Simple and way off from where everyone else was. I give him points for using a quote from a movie I love. However, he didn't follow the rules of the assignment.
Minus 40 pints for violating the terms of the agreement. Score = 60.
Third Place
The White Whale with "Stop hogging the saw! It's like this every time. Honestly, you're just like your mother." Oh no you di'n't! That's right, we've invoked the "You're just like your mother" clause so early in the marriage the priest isn't even drunk on reception alcamahol yet.
Minus 90 points for giving yourself Third Place. Score = 10.
