Be Clever. Get Famous. The Photo Caption Contest Returns!!!
There's major BIG EXCITING PRIZE-GENERATING stuff going on at this blog. I mean, The Quills and The National Book Award pale compared to this. That's because . . . yes, YES! It's that time of year again . . .

Lisa's SECOND ANNUAL PHOTO CAPTION CONTEST!!!!! (Insert oooooh sounds.)

We had so much fun at the 1st Annual Photo Caption Contest a few months ago, that I felt like it was time to do it again.

Okay, are you ready?

Here's the photo. (It's of handsome-editor-dude Arthur Levine and moi.)

Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting

Here are the THE RULES:
1. Look at photo.
2. Write a caption.

Here are the disclaimers/legal stuff/warnings:

1. You may enter as many times as you'd like.

2. If you don't want to include your name, for fear that your friends will mock you out, or because you are in a witness protection program, you can sign on as "anonymous." However, try to remember which captions are yours in case you win.

3. As before, we will have CELEBRITY JUDGES, including Johnny Depp and Colin Firth. In the event that they are busy, they will be replaced by equally attractive judges.

4. The Grand Prize winner will receive a big bag of money and a year's supply of gas, or something else entirely.

5. If a rash occurs, see your doctor immediately.

6. Lisa's Second Annual Photo Caption Contest will run for one week-ish, until October 18th or thereabouts. The winner will be announced somewhere around October 23rd.

Good luck! The winning entry from the first annual contest will be hard to top!!!

BTW, while you are creating those clever captions, I will be in Dallas to give the Author Luncheon speech, along with the amazing Cynthia Leitich Smith at the ALA's first ever Joint Conference of Librarians of Color. I am so glad the airlines/government semi-lifted the ban on liquids/mushy stuff for carry-ons. I was prepared to inject chocolates with toothpaste to avoid having to check lugguage.

Lisa: My head holds more than his can.
Arthur: Hey! It's harder when you don't have hair.

"If you try really hard, you can read it without ever opening the book."
"Arthur, I really thought that YOU would have put one of MY books on your head!"
"Lisa is thinking...(okay, whatever. Humor him, he's my big fancy pants editor. Smile through the humilation. Be happy that it's only one book and that it's mine.)"
"Okay Arthur, now two books!" "Yeah Lisa! I'll bet we can get all of the books up there. Pass the Vodka!"
"Now hope on one foot and rub your belly!"
"First one to drop their book has to clean up that last kid's vomit!"
"Come on! You know you love us!"

Okay, seven entries, there you go!
I have to confess. The last conference I was at, LA 2005, I kept looking at Mr. Levine, probably creeping him out. (sorry Mr. Levine) He looks a lot like my father in law...again, sorry Mr. Levine.

Ah hem. I will not be judging this contest. (See disclaimer #3.) However, you can still bribe me if you'd like.

At Madam Newbery's School of Etiquette for Young Ladies and Gentlemen, we teach presence and composure. Here, this year's Prefects Arthur and Lisa demonstrate their excellent poise by balancing books about superior students on their heads.

Arthur and Lisa can write and edit. But what they want us to focus on is that they can balance books on their heads!

Just one book, you say?? But no! I am actually levitating a stack of seven, sandwiched between invisible baskeballs.
Top that, Art.

Lisa: "I swear it works! If I personally sign the book, you can read it via osmosis."
Arthur shrugs placing the book on his head too. "Pssst...Lisa...osmosis involves water."
"Yeah...so? Try it in the tub." Wink wink.

I'd be delighted to participate in this contest, but I see from rule #3 that I will soon be called upon to judge.

THE MONSTER
A Special Poem for Halloween, by Millicent Min

Upon your own heads be it,
Where everyone can see it,
and have a chance to flee it...
IT'S STANLEY WONG!

An aggravating creature
Who disrespects his teacher
And whose distinctive feature
IS BEING WRONG!!

Hope you like it!

OK, this is what comes of entering contests off the cuff at way past midnight when you should be in bed --- AND not looking at the book. Stanford, please forgive me!

Here's the "real" poem.

Upon your own heads be it
Where everyone can see it
and have a chance to flee it ...
IT"S STANFORD WONG!

An aggravating creature
Who disrespects his teacher
And whose distinctive feature
IS BEING WRONG!!
