Contest #28
Forsooth! The fight for toddlers has intensified!
And over yonder thou shalt see the wonderous serpent. Thou art fortunate that thou hast come at feeding time...
Come hither good people! It seems that Magikarp has evolved!
Oh, tis tragic indeed. Here's to hoping the king's next wife shall appear less appetizing.
What's in a serpent? A monster by any other name would still find thou as sweet.
The course of true digestion never did run smooth.
There's daggers in serpent's smiles.
To swallow or not to swallow. That is the question. Either way thou knowest the heimlich.
Congratulations to all of the winners and thank you for the votes.
@Cogitotoro, I am so sorry about your cat. I had to put a beloved cat of mine down a few years ago, and it's so heart breaking. I'm glad you are making your cat as comfortable as possible, and cherishing the time that you have with him. And I also hope that you and your daughter are feeling better! Mono is terrible, and takes a long time to get over, so I hope you're starting to feel more like yourself again.
If you would, please give my winnings to @rosey1579, as this funny Simmer's captions always make me laugh out loud.
Thank you!

My thread of Sincere Thanks
No more wishlist for me! It disappeared in a poof of gift-giving smoke!
So sorry to hear about your kitty @Cogitotoro . I hope that the posts on this thread bring a much-needed smile to your face in this difficult time.
Caption #29 - Medieval
1. "Ah, just a little bit more-" Crack! "That hits the spot. I've needed to see a chiropractor for a long time."
2. "Ye gods! The Kraken has awoken! Hasten thee to call upon the hero Jack Sparrow!"
Of course, if I win anything, just pass it along to someone else. I'm just here for the fun of it all, not to win anything.
@Cogitoro, I haven't participated here in a while, but I was very sorry to read about your cat. I have most certainly been in your shoes, and do completely empathize. It's a very tough thing to go through for those of us who consider our pets to be members of our family.
I don't have a great segue, and do not at all want to diminish what you must be going through right now with your beloved cat, but I guess if I want to enter your next contest, I have to start doing just that.
In all honesty, I really can't figure out the latest image... I even tried to enlarge it so I could see it better! Anyway, anything I contribute is bound to be ridiculous and out of context... But here goes anyway...
“Circ du Soliel” performed in it's infancy, before the invention of the trapeze or safety nets.
Yeah, fine! I'm willing to take the dive, but don't expect me to cook and clean, too!
Okay, honey, I can kind of get your whole obsession with this Medieval thing, but it's not quite as much fun for us girls!

I tried to enlarge it too .. I have to say your contributions are really great “Circ du Soliel” indeed too cool!!
I wish I could think of something suitably obscure. But I'm drawing a blank there I guess, for the most part

@HBSIMSTER - All I can say is "LoL" ! Oh, oops, I guess that doesn't rate here on this forum anymore? I'm glad I wasn't the only one trying to enlarge that image! "obscure" ?, knowing you, I'm sure you'll come up with something!
First, thanks so much to all of you - too many to name - who sent me good wishes and condolences about my cat Tybalt. He died with me and my husband with him, and we buried him with some rosemary for remembrance. It does help to have so many good wishes coming my way.
Now on to the contest! Humor helps give a light in dark places - and so do fire traps. Without further ado... The WINNER of Sims Caption Contest # 28 (for 1,000 SPs):
Thus ends the sad tale of Doug, or "The Man Who Wouldn't Tip the Gondolier"
by the legendary @AlphaFen
In Second Place (for 500 SPs): "Bet you're glad we took out travel insurance now."
by @tiger_lily5
and in Third Place (for 500 SPs): "Did anyone bring the marshmallows?"
by @OriginalMara
Congratulations to the winners! Let me know what if anything to do with your winnings. The leaders shifted around a lot as the votes came in - congrats to all the finalists, whose entries were all appreciated.

Last, here's the new screenshot for captioning. Have fun with it! Submit and edit as many captions as you like for Sims Caption Contest # 30 (can't believe I've done 30 of these!) by the end of next Saturday, 11/14.
Congrats & Great BIG hugs to the winners @AlphaFen, @tiger_lily5, & @OriginalMara !! To everyone else who posted captions BIG lucky hugs to you all!!!
Hang in there! Competition is heating up, But the entries are hilarious to read, so keep em coming!!
As to caption contest # 30 ... This one made me think of an old deodorant commercial jingle, as follows
1) "Raise your hands, raise your hands, if your sure!!"
By the way, this week's image was inspired by a real art installation my family and I visited this summer called "The Beach" - a humongous ball pit! So fun.
I am so, so sorry to know that Tybalt passed. He was a gorgeous cat and the world is sadder without the beauty that was Tybalt in it. I am glad you were with him when he passed on. It's important to have loved ones near at that time. Big hugs. Cherish those memories and be happy for all the time you had with him.
Woot! I'm so glad they raised the age/height restrictions.
#30
1.If you live in Florida this is the closest you get to a snowball fight!
2. in order to escape and move on to the next round of the game you must chew the giant gumballs then use the sticky mess to climb out! first one out gets 5000 $ and giant gumballs for life!
3. They woke up and thought they were in a huge ball pit! Their having fun now but wait until they find out they have really been shrunken down and put in a gumball machine!
#30
1)Doug prayed that none of the other party guests would realize that he had an accident in the ball pit... this was turning into his 6th birthday party all over again!
2)Trypophobia triggered!
3)"Sandy, why did you fill our living room with balls?!" "We're adults Tim. We get to decide what that means. Relax and enjoy the party!"
4)Ron became concerned when the ball-pit dance-a-thon didn't ever seem to end... and the walls were all flashing mirrors and no doorway.
Sorry to hear about Tybalt its lovely that you placed rosemary with him.
Congratulations Winners The medieval picture had so many great entries it was hard to choose Good luck to everyone!
Edit: Lol! Just noticed you called me legendary @Cogitotoro Happy 30th anniversary
1. What really goes on inside the gumball machine...
2. It took 20 years and an elaborate Ponzi scheme but Greg could finally afford the finer things in life
3. How a simmer's brain feels when they finally Own The Store
4. Jorge finally realised his ex-wife might have had a point when she said he was immature...
5. They would never regret asking Coco the Disco Clown to redecorate their apartment

"Throw a coin they said. Get a whish they said"
"Not me you idiot! My mother-in-law's over there!"
@Cogitotoro sorry about your kitty. It's a terrible thing to go through.
*scratches head* "That should have worked... hmmmm." "Doctor! NOW would be good!"
Gonna go vote now (If I haven't already... can't remember. @_@;;; ) Good luck to all! =D

"There ain't no party like a gumball party, because a gumball party don't stop!"
"I don't know what happened, I put my dollar in the gumball machine, and they just kept rolling out!"
I now own the store! (apart from avatars and badges)
