As we head into another hot weekend with Rhythm and Booms and Phish at Alpine Valley, we have some laughs, with thanks to our wonderful caption contest winners, starting with the honorable mentions:
We had a lot of great use of word play this week, like the cow-go carrier and the cowpool lane! Sam K What Stella decided was a good fix when Carl the milkman went on vacation for 3 weeks. Although, poor Bessy got a sore back every time she had to ride in the cow-go carrier
Kurt Beatrice didn't understand that the passenger had to be inside the vehicle in order to use the cowpool lane.
This one makes perfect sense. JRay78 one too many spotted cows.....now we have a tipsy cow
The MacGyver award goes to Kim for this caption. Kim Skinner After being awarded the winning bid at the first Cows on the Concourse, Eunice finds a unique way to get her prize back to the farm. She proclaimed, "You can do just about anything with a little creativity and some twine."
James is very funny. James S. Ethel thought that "America's Dairyland" on the license plate just wasn't a strong enough message.
Any caption that quotes an old Woody Allen routine deserves credit! brianp The joke was on me. It was the Berkowitzes.
But this week’s WINNER, with his Madison-centric caption is:
Kraig Whenever Bessie ran off from the pasture, Lillian was certain to find her passed out at Mickey's Dairy Bar
Have a great weekend and see you at Warner Park on Saturday!
As June Dairy Month draws to a close, we offer THIS photo for this week's caption contest.
Please give me your best caption to this photo to win FABULOUS prizes, including new CD's plus whatever tricks I have up my sleeve. REMEMBER TO USE YOUR NAME IN THE SUBJECT LINE TO RECEIVE CREDIT AND WIN PRIZES!
Ah, I knew you were ready for creepy person photo and you did not disappoint!
We had several captions with the Parliament Funkadelic/ George Clinton theme, which were great, but here are this week’s winners, starting with honorable mentions.
Everybody SING! Tammy A Who can take a sunrise? Sprinkle it with dew Cover it with chocolate and a miracle or two The Candy Man The Candy Man can
I loves me some Cee Lo Kraig Cee lo, ride high.
Wonder what ABATE would say about this? Mike What do you mean this isn't a DOT certified helmet!!!
I want this bumper sticker! Al Frantic (Bumper sticker) Live free, die young, stay plush
Perfect name! Geno The new 2012 Gnarly Davidson Soft-Tail
This cracked me up Abbe I was gonna put those fuzzy dice on my handlebars, but I thought it might be a bit too ostentatious, what do you think?
And this week’s WINNER, who will receive FABULOUS prizes is… Gary W And they wonder why Madison is always near the top of all the best places to bike lists.
Have a great weekend and come out to Warner Park on Saturday and hang with me at the Blues Picnic.
Happy Summer Solstice! The days are getting shorter and winter will be here before you know it, so hop on your trike and take a ride with the caption contest.
It's been a while since we had a strangly dressed person, so, go at it and give me you best caption to this photo: REMEMBER TO PUT YOUR NAME IN THE SUBJECT LINE TO GET CREDIT AND WIN MY FABULOUS PRIZES!!! YOUR DEADLINE IS FRIDAY AT 4 PM. Have fun, be creative and, as always, play nice!
The heat is getting to me, but not as much as your great captions, so let’s get to it, with this week’s honorable mentions: Todd B In about thirty seconds, you will hear the term "wing nuts" used for the very first time.
Mark N I know it's on sale, but I still think a stroller is a better idea
BrianP Oh those Brits and their hats...
Abbe I just wonder where you insert the quarter
Kraig They don't make Carnies like that any more.
Stephen Lee Rich ...and this way we won't need all that security at the airport
Art Paul Schlosser I've been having trouble getting people to watch me perform my music. I start out alright and play a song or 2 and people applaud but then this guy shows up a block away and wears this weird hat with the 2 airplanes flying around him and then he starts singing Jonathon Richmond's song I'm a Little Airplane Now and then he starts saying free rides for the kids and how can I compete with that ?
AND OUR WINNER OF THE JOEY RAMONE CD AND SOME OTHER COOL PRIZES IS...
John C. Eh, it's better than flying United.
Have an awesome weekend, stay hydrated and have some FUN!
I just heard someone pass by my desk saying, " it's gonna be a long day" . But rejoice because it's the Peak of the Week, Hump Day, but more importantly, CAPTION WEDNESDAY!!
In the spirit of amusement parks everywhere, please caption THIS photo, to win( mostly) FABULOUS prizes. REMEMBER TO PUT YOUR NAME IN THE SUBJECT LINE TO GET CREDIT AND BE ELIGIBLE TO WIN.
So it isn’t Talk Like a Pirate Day, but we DID get some great Pirate-Like captions for this week’s photo.
Let’s start with the honorable mentions, all were terrific!
Alicia S
Instead of "Take Your Kid to Work Day" today is; Dress your dog up like the saddest Pirate EVER & haul them around day.
Carl
Oh arff. If that cute poodle sees me, I am so doomed. Just go ahead and neuter me while you're at it.
John C.
All the pirates loved the captain, but they thought his first mate was a real rear-end.
Geno
Aarr Smee, ya scurvy devil! You always give me the heavy end of the chest.
But this week’s WINNER of prizes chosen JUST FOR HIM is: Kraig As a young Captain, Yukon Jack was pretty spry. However, as the years wore on, the consensus of the crew was that the old pirate had too much junk in his trunk.
Have a great weekend, stay hydrated and get ready for a creepy photo next week!
Since today ( June 5) is a highly charged one in Wisconsin, I thought it would be a good day to start the caption contest.
Please give me your best caption to this photo; REMEMBER TO PUT YOUR NAME IN THE SUBJECT LINE TO GET CREDIT AND WIN FABULOUS PRIZES! THE DEADLINE IS FRIDAY AT 4 PM.
We have come to the end of a work week, the beginning of a new month and the last weekend before the Recall Election. Make sure you get out and VOTE!
This week’s photo was a challenge, but what we lacked in quantity, we gained in quality, so we begin with the honorable mentions:
Love the literary reference. John C. Pinocchio's lies finally caused Gepetto to snap .
I loved the concept of a beaver army. David Beaver Army Decimated After Struck Match Takes Out Tinder Tank.
Ain’t THIS the truth. Kraig An abundance of weed and spare time, combined with a penchant for woodworking - a deadly combination
This one totally cracked me up. Todd B I don't think you are understanding the concept behind the Trojan horse.
What I liked about THIS one was, she went in a totally different direction! Janet Murray You know you're in Wisconsin when you see a tank like this carved from a giant hunk of cheese!
The first runner up: Dana G. After years of brutal, senseless slaughter at the hands of the paper manufacturers, the trees would have their revenge...
And this week’s winner of these 3 CD’s is… Marc Borland That whole Iron Age is so overrated
Marc, please contact me so you can get your prize!
Today is World Goth Day, a day to celebrate the post-punk, anti-establishment, dark clothes-wearing subculture.
I'm pretty sure I was a Goth for at least for little while, for two reasons.
1) I almost hardly ever wear pastels.
2) I used to...
Hello to all from Nfusion. Another round of challenges has moved beyond us all. Congrats to those of us lucky enough to have survived to this point. Sad to see the others eliminated as they were all very creative and talented. Good Bye to our new friends...
This morning it seemed like just about everyone was in the mood for some Funky Cold Medina...except Kitty. This ridiculous song made it all the way to number 3 in 1989. Jonathan says any song that references advertising dogs from the 80's has got...

John Fogerty is making the talk show rounds this week, stopping in to see David Letterman Tuesday and Wednesday, and the ladies of "The View" on Thursday.

It's a miracle that both Jonathan and KItty wanted to hear Barry Manilow this morning. They were not alone. Plenty of Fanilow's called in to vote yes. One caller claimed to have seen Manilow in concert 25 times!
The sun is shining, the birds are chirping, it is another gorgeous Monday, fit for another great show at the Crystal Corner tonight.
Through locking ourselves in the barn on Irish Lane, tossing some ideas around, as well as a few choice beverages to...
Hey everybody, we were thrown for a loop by the twist this week, but were able to make one of our "oldie but a goldie" songs fit the mold.
We have a few songs that we have played consistently over the years, and we are very happy that we will be...
