Trunk space A winter weekly to keep you warm

Remember the innocent elephant jokes of our youth? You know the ones – What do elephants do for laughs? (Tell bad people jokes) or What do you call an elephant with a machine gun? (Sir).

A natural lead-in into this week’s caption contest, where we encourage child-like humor and abandon, but usually reward the opposite. Our new cartoon – Trunk Space – can be found at the top of this entry (email subscribers can click on “Read Full Post”). The winning caption receives a $30 iTunes gift certificate and their name in big beautiful orange font, like this week’s winner, JR Gunderson, whose caption appears below:

While JR may need an overview of the subjunctive, his caption was the most captivating.

This may be your last chance to win a weekly caption contest in 2008, so submit your entries now (yes, you can submit more than one).

P.S. Don’t forget to submit an entry to Check My Bait. Now that the holiday season is upon us, we expect to be assaulted with some of the best worst advertising out there. While there’s no iTunes prize for Check My Bait, we believe mocking bad ads is a gift in and of itself.
