Weekend Caption Contest™ Winners (Wizbang)

This weeks Weekend Caption Contest™ produced a veritable grab bag of phallic reference and humor. It was stiff competition, but in the end the following entries had more staying power than the rest, and delivered the goods. Here are the winning entries for this picture:

CNN American Morning anchor Miles O'Brien with an unidentified guest prior to the Space Shuttle launch

1) (Cybrludite) - "Sometimes a rocket is just a rocket. Unfortunately, this isn't one of those times..."

2) (Jeff) - "On STS-114 Miles, NASA has installed over 100 cameras in an effort to get the 'money-shot.'"

3) (bullwinkle) - "After they all used these model rockets on each other I asked them what they called their act. The father said, 'We're the Aristocrats.'"

Honorable Mention

4) (a4g) - Man in red shirt: "You know, I left Dick Cheney's employ to get away from just this sort of moment."

5) (Jihad Jimmy) - "And this one time, at Space Camp..."

6) (james) - GUY ON RIGHT: "And coincidentally Bob, the squinting we're experiencing is why the song is called 'Turning Japanese.'"

The Highly Coveted, Rarely Awarded, Dishonorable Mention

(Laurence Simon) - "Eason tried to shove a third one of these up Amanpour's ass, but she kept clenching and shouting 'OH, MY POOR YASSER!' over and over."

Until next Friday...

My original caption before I edited it:

So the dog is laying in the corner with his tongue hanging out, covered in axle grease and still wearing the leopard skin tutu just like all four of the people, then the father and son pull the model rockets out of the mother and sister. All five are breathless and sweating profusely. I told them I was impressed and I asked them what they called their act.....The said "We're the Aristocrats"

I could have been a contender for that dishonorable mention award!

FreakyBoy:

After slaving over a hot computer trying to create a snappy caption, I don't know what's worse: coming in sixth place again or Kevin getting my name wrong.

I have a right mind to take my perennially sixth place captions elsewhere.
