GrodsCaptionComp results

An overwhelming response to our call for captions to accompany the self-published picture of blogger Dave From Albury. Very difficult to choose (honourable mentions to John Surname, Ross Sharp, Slipheed and rdb) but here are the official results.
In third place is Keri with this insightful entry.
Talking online can lead to stalking online.
Keri wins Dave’s autographed bathrobe.
In second place is Bridgit Gread with this disturbing thought.
Dave smirks, knowing that the folks at Grods have swallowed his fake pic, when he actually looks a lot different…
Bridgit wins Dave’s autographed computer chair, unwashed.
And our winner is albi with this very topical caption.

Deep in the Riverina, fingers are heard tapping - H.E.N.S.O.N P.H.O.T.O.S
Albi wins dinner with Dave at an Albury pizzeria (to the value of $20) plus a post-dinner nightcap at Dave’s house.
Well done, everyone!

Dang. I was pretty confident, too. And I really wanted that bathrobe.
But well done, Keri, Bridgit and Albi!

Just to clarify Keri, do you want the bathrobe washed? The Ed wasn’t clear about this.

Sorry for the confusion, Dave. Unwashed.

OK, but if at some future point in time Keri uses it as DNA evidence of some wrongdoing on my part, I expect you testify as a part of my defence.

I hope that bathrobe doesn’t come with a cigar.
The ‘ol Lewinski Havana, nasty.

Krypto, that’s a discussion that I plan to have privately with Keri.

Frankly, I don’t know what to say!
I’ll be in Tumut over Christmas, so I’ll shoot down to Albury to accept my prize. Oh and Dave, I expect a ride on the Ducati as well :-)

I dunno about a ride on the Ducati, there are some things that siply should not be shared. Perhaps I could offer you one of the children as an indentured servant instead? I hear they’re going for a packet on

Preview Dave, preview.
BTW Ed, I’m putting my hand up now for a share of Grodslist when eBay come around waving their cheque book.

Congrats, albi, very funny and topical too. Personally I thought mine was crap but in this materialistic capitalist world, I’ll take what I can get.

OK, no joy ride then - I will however require 5 minutes alone with her.

Only 5 minutes?

I thought that was a long time :-(

I quit smoking some time ago, so no cigar for me.
I’ll be using the DNA for some completely immoral cloning experiments, Dave. Okay with you?

Actually, thinking about it, it is.
