Weekend Caption Contest™ Winners (Wizbang)

This week's Weekend Caption Contest™ was another smash hit, generating substantial - almost obsessive -interest from many of our captioners. It should be noted that I was informed this weekend that the caption photo is sort of a repeat, but it is different and the other one is nearly 2 1/2 years old... The assignment this week was to caption the following picture:

A picture released by the Science Museum of London shows the 'i-unit,' a form of 'personal mobility,' displayed in the exhibition 'Plasticy: 100 years of making plastics' at the Science Museum. The exhibition aims to highlight the issue of plastic waste and growing concerns about the availability of oil, the raw material used to make plastics.(AFP/LSM-HO)

Here are the winning entries:

1) (fustian) - "It'll do zero to sixty in an expensive dinner and three cocktails."

2) (THC) - "The Sanjayanator"

3) (Jeff Blogworthy) - "Objectification of women? I have no idea what you mean."

Honorable Mention

4) (epador) - "I like the head room in this model."

5) (Peter F.) - "The horn goes: 'Yes! Yes! Oh yes! Right there! Yessssssss!'"

6) (Baron Von Ottomatic) - "As expected, the onboard computer has trouble with directions and executing complex calculations but excels at mindless conversation and sensing when something is troubling the driver."

The Best Tie-in With A Preceding Contest Award goes to:

(Rodney Dill) - "I remember now... It's Dolores."

The Wizbang Weekend Caption Contest™ will return next Friday.

Rodney Dill:

I knew I'd seen it before, I just couldn't remember if it was here. I knew I'd used the 'Travelogue' caption somewhere before too.

...generating substantial - almost obsessive -interest from many of our captioners. -- Almost missed that, I was still busy looking at the picture.

Thanks Kevin.
