first, here’s the photo:
same rules as usual: i’ll add contenders to the post, then pick one. winner gets a free ys book of your choosing.
i should also add that bobbie sent this to me, and it had the title “darwin waits patiently” on it, which, according to the neatorama post from which i got it, was a comment by reader vonskippy. fantastic caption, right off the bat, but you can’t use it.
CONTENDERS
omg! you people are nuts! (this is why i love youth workers — well, this, among other reasons). i posted this early tuesday morning, then was out of the office most of the day. i get an email from my blog when someone posts a comment, and they’ve been streaming in all day long. now i get back to the office in the late afternoon, and (as i type this) there are 105 comments! holy cow!
ok, so… contenders at this point are (i’ll add more in the next day or two and call a winner on thursday)…
Laughing merrily along path of least resistance… (david b)
darwin waits patiently (andy jack — i will declare him a contender, who will not win, purely for the adolescent tenacity of posting the one-and-only caption i said could NOT be posted!)

Even though the new youth pastor got this activity from his set of “ideas” books from the 70’s, the youth parents still found it questionable. (othy, for being horribly close to the truth!)

“Hey you guys get outta there! That’s Johnny’s home schooling experiment!” (mikey)
AND THE WINNER IS…
this was a tough one; 150+ entries, and lots of serious contenders. but i’m gonna go with my gut here (which is an ample gut, since the “are you a bigger loser than marko?” contest doesn’t start until monday), and my gut says, “get donuts.” no, wait. that wasn’t one of the contenders. the winner is:
Necessity is the mother of stupidity. (richard jones)
richard jones, that was extremely funny and a bit hi-brow, coincidentally. smart humor. we don’t see too much o’ that ’round here. shoot me an email, richard.
Hey, the balding guy in the back looks a lot like the new youth minister from the church I used to attend. Perhaps finding another church wasn’t a bad idea after all.
As the adolescent develops cognitively, they become more capable of basing their descisions on external factors such as consequences. There are always those that break the mold.
This is your brain on drugs.
This is what happens when you mix white people and beer.
…speaking of Darwin, funny quote yesterday in our local paper about cramming too many people into the backseat: guy from the state police says it’s some of darwin’s best work:
