TNG Character Caption Contest Showdown!

[LeadHead]

Welcome to the showdown! For the past 12 weeks, we've been doing Caption Contests here in the TNG forum focused on a single character, starting with Picard and working our way to Wesley. Now that we're completing our character saga, I wanted to do something interesting to bring it to a conclusion.

So here's how it's going to work, this week, we will have the Standard Contest Winning Entries go up for YOUR votes! Next week will be the Photoshops, and we'll bring it home with the Klingon Belly Laughs! I was originally going to do it all in one fell swoop, but I'm rather inexperienced with polls and besides, I'd like to give each of the categories their own voting round anyway.

The prize will be A: Selecting the pictures for an upcoming contest, or B: Judging the winners for an upcoming contest, or C: Both of the above. It will be the winners choice which would work best for them, I don't want the prize to be more than they'd be happy with.

Riker (to Data): Let me get this straight. You do the hokey pokey and you turn yourself around, and that's what it's all about?

Data: "Commander Riker suggested I turn off my internal chronometer."

Trio: "True, as long as you weren't late for your shift."

Data: "I am confused. When did my shift start?"

Worf. "Yesterday."

LaForge: "Happy Birthday, Worf!"
Troi: "Yes Worf. Happy Birthday."
Riker: "Whatever. We're gonna have to cut and run Worf, Deanna and I are running an empirical experiment to see if chocolate is indeed better than sex."

Crusher: He's dead.
Worf: Yes, I know. I broke his neck.

And it was even more satisfying than I dreamed it would be.

Worf: "Geordi, remember when I said you could come on this double-date?"
Geordi: "Yeah..."
Worf: "I lied."

Troi: "Yes, Mother, Will and I are going out to dinner tonight. And then I think he wants to play some music for me, although he apparently thinks he's a little out of practice. He said he's hoping I'll be in the mood for a little 'rusty trombone' tonight."

Data: Crap, that film crew is still following us. Hurry!

O'Brien: You know it's lucky, I nearly wore the same thing.

PICARD: I thought you meant Riker lost his head and caused the accident, not vice versa.

Will: A little to the left. Oh, yeah!

Alyssa: Doctor, the extra credits will come in handy when we enter the Ferengi sector, but are you sure turning Sickbay into a massage parlor was a good idea? (whispers) No one wants to work on Mister Barclay.

Reginald: Doctor, I really think it's my turn!

Beverly: Computer, activate the EMH.

Director: Gates, this isn't that hard a scene. Why do you keep asking for another take?

As for what to do with the thread itself? Please feel free to caption any of the above pictures, send a shout out to one you really enjoyed, etc. Have fun and my the Best Captions win!

[CorporalCaptain]

Thanks for a nomination, LeadHead! I'm - honored.

Voted!

[Skywalker]

Wow, I'm honored to have my caption chosen out of all the other great Worf ones. Good luck to everyone!

[Holdfast]

Gonna pin this, as it's a limited-term contest related to the caption contest.

Vote went to Skywalker's Double Date line, mainly 'cos I can just hear Worf saying it in that deadpan way of his..

[Skywalker]

Thanks!

[inflatabledalek]

Must...not...vote...for...self....





[Though obviously mine is the best. Even if it is shamelessly stolen from an episode of Buffy. But I think I'll get away with it, what are the odds that anyone on a Trek site would be familiar with a show that nerdy?]

[Vulpes]

Thanks, it's an honor just to be nominated...

But I want to wiiiiiiiiinnnn...

[LeadHead]

Vote! Vote! Vote! Poll closes soon!

[Alrik]

Thank you LH, I am honored. And yes, my vote is in.

[Gary7]

Voted.

[LeadHead]

And it's a tie! Hmmmm... Gonna have to think about this... back soon...

[Vulpes]

Hey, I won! Well, tied. I take what I can get.

[Skywalker]

Whoa! Thanks, guys!

Congrats, Vulpes. Co-winners is better than nothing, right?

[Vulpes]

Yep! Congratulations to you too.

We're doing a Second Round! Come and See!
