Guest judge Jon from QandO -- a smart and informative blog that should be on your daily reading list (like you need me to tell you that) -- has made the final decisions in this week's Captain's Caption Contest. Just to refresh your memory, in case you can't scroll down three posts, here's the picture:

Here's Jon's picks, in his own format ...

After a lengthy review, we have a 44 way tie for "You Sick Bastard". My god, people, go call your mother and apologize. Immediately.

Runner-up #3 (or: The "topical, pithy, amusing....you're Jay Leno!" award)

"Actually, I pulled her away from the bus before I pushed her under it."

Runner-up #2 (or, The "ewww....I never thought I'd miss the relatively discreet days of Al and Tipper Gore getting it on" Award)

John, dear, they're on the other side.

In unrelated news, the French-looking senator will be announcing a new television program, airing on the Fox Network, titled "A Millionaire wants to Marry Who?," where thousands of bachelorette's will compete for the war-veteran's hand, based on their liberalness, family fortune and desire to fund his run for the Presidency.

The power of John compels you! The power of John compels you!

Report to Sick Bay Immediately (or, The "I am simply shocked that you would reopen the wounds of Vietnam for Caption Contest gain" Award)

Kerry to reporters: "So I was sneaking up on the little VC bastard, just like this and ..."

As always, comments will remain open on this post for those who wish to impugn the character of the judge, the Captain, or the people in the picture. Feel free to throw in more suggestions, even if the contest is over, if you're in a Dennis Kucinich type of mood.
