Caption competition, Friday 15th June

June 15th, 2007
Author Michael Carey

Okay, you’ve got to know the drill. Here’s a picture. Write a caption – either giving the picture a title or putting words into the mouths of one of the characters.

Best entry (in my warped opinion) wins a signed copy of my Minx OGN, Re-Gifters. Signed twice, in fact – once by me and once by someone completely randon who I’m just going to accost on the street. NOBODY ELSE will have a signed copy like this one. It will be unique. If it gets me arrested for harassment, doubly so.

Results to be announced next week, so you’ve got a while. Oh, and there’s also a no-prize for anyone who can tell me where the image is from…
