July 15, 2010
7-21-10: Winners announced! Please see next post up.
Okay, I put this up last night, but let’s make it into a contest now.
We were stumbling through the internets this afternoon when we came across an article on mandolins…with this photo:
We don’t know about you—but it scared the monkey-poodles out of us.
Submit a caption for the photo—and next week we’ll do a drawing of all the entries. Winner gets an Uncle John’s Bathroom Reader of their choice.

You look like you’d like to know what ELSE I can do with this mandolin. Here’s a hint: it has nothing to do with music.
Wanna meet my husband?
He’s inside this mandolin.
His name was Aaron but now it’s “Squishy”.
Come and listen to a story about a man named Jed
A poor mountaineer, barely kept his family fed,

“OK boys, ready? Start on my count. A one and a four and a two and a three….uhhh….a two and a three and a one and a four….uhhh….How’s that go again Pa?”
“…And that’s the last time you’ll steal my pie off the windowsill, isn’t it Elmer? Heh heh heh. What did I put it in? Oh nothing. Just some arsenic and roadkill. No, you probably won’t die. Maybe just get a little sick. If you’re lucky. Heh heh heh.”
(Twangity twang on the mandolin)
“[Sings in southern accent] Oh Elmer stole my pie, and now he’s going to die, Elmer stole my pie, his mama’s gonna cry, Elmer I hope you learned your lesson well, because I’ll be laughing laughing laughing while you’re burning in heck.”
I guess that’s more than a caption. Whoops. Oh well.
