I have a theory Eddings only reads the comments a day or two after he posts the contest, gets a great laugh, and then doesn't check it until its time to give an award. By then the seriousness of awarding a winner makes the rest of the comments unfunny. That explains why LUR&B keeps winning. My other theory is that Pilgrim mommy and LUR&B is the same person and is continually winning these things by some black magic. But I must say, the winning caption is very funny.
Phil, bravo my brother. I have to admit you certainly have the uncanny ability to get to the heart of the matter. Sure its the wrong heart and the wrong matter but, still you did it! I mean, the way you dissected Mr. Edding's thought process and motives. BRILLIANT! Who cares if it came off as a little pretty and self serving? It was still brilliant none the less. Not to mention the way you made the connection that Pilgrim Mommy and myself are the same person. It seriously made me stop and think. At first I thought, this guy is crazy. But, then I took another look at your general thesis and that is when it hit me, I was never going to come off of that first impression. Of course, that is not to say that your points were not convoluted, full of conjecture, wild speculation and more than their fare share of out and out paranoia. No, you my friend, are the Fox Mulder and the Oliver Stone of the Calvinistic Cartoon website and my hat is off to you sir. Oh yeah, and thanks for thinking my entry was funny ;-p
P.S. No hard feeling brother, I am just hacking you in fun.
Seriously, Phil, I was just kidding around with you. Sometimes this rotten corpse I'm dragging around forces its way though and gives me plenty of reasons to have no confidence in it. If I was over the top I apologize. Your brother in Christ, Mike
This is the winning caption by
Mr. Eddings, you are too kind sir.
