Weekend Caption Contest™ Winners (Wizbang)

This weeks Weekend Caption Contest™ was a real hit, generating many, many entries. As one of the commenters said the bar for winning was set pretty high by the actual caption to the picture (hold your mouse over the picture to read it). Before we get to the winners, it's time to mention that (as part of our Katrina fundraising efforts) this week's contest is sponsored by:

The Original Billski Mods, Inc.

Now on to the the winning entries for this picture:

US actor Sean Penn paddles a boat after the motor failed to start as he made an attempt to rescue stranded people in New Orleans. Penn rescued several people from flooded houses in the city on September 4, before his boat sprang a leak.(AFP/File/Nicholas Kamm)

1) (Laurence Simon) - "I don't care what's in the water, I said I don't need any shots. I figure if I can survive going down on Madonna all those years, I can survive anything."

2) (Robert) - "Shown here, a forward thinking Sean Penn prepositions supplies for the next hurricane by sinking a boatload of water bottles.
'I marked the spot with a red cup,' Sean said: 'Next time, we will not be unprepared.'"

3) (Cybrludite) - "Tragically their craft sank when Sean Penn mistook the boat plug for a butt plug."

Honorable Mention

4) (Roger Fraley) - "Sean Penn, his publicist, and toady friend manage, despite the odds, to rescue all the Desani bottled water left in New Orleans last week."

5) (Rodney Dill) - "Sean Penn (thinking): "Dang, I hope I brought enough beads.""

6) (Doug) - "In this Greenpeace photo , you can see proof of the serious and disgusting toxins released into the waters flooding New Orleans."

7) (Daniel) - "Row, row, row your boat, gently down the stream, If you see a crocodile, don't forget to scream."

None of the people who run this blog is fit to wipe Sean Penn's ass. At least he actually saved some people. You jackholes couldn't save the last ounce of a bag of Doritos.

Congratulations to gracious winner Laurence Simon. Your winning entry really was very clever. And I have to say that I am indeed fit to wipe Sean Penn's ass, I just don't want to.

We would've at least saved a 'D' and spelled 'Eddie' with only two d's. Those savesd d's add up to way more than an ounce of Doritos, or Doritoes for the Quayle impaired.
