Hey, hey! Guess what? Just in time for the winter holidays, it's the Freakin' Green Elf Shorts Caption Competition.
To recap the more recent adventures of the FGES, between November 2024 and February 2025, the Shorts traveled to many locations in the United States during an epic cross-country road trip. I contemplated using one of the many photos I took wearing the Shorts at landmarks famous and not-so-famous across this great land for the competition, but not long after I returned to my home base in California, I received and invitation to attend the wedding of my BFF in Australia in September.
What a great opportunity, thought I. The Shorts "returning" to the Land Down Under. For those not familiar with the
history, or in case you have forgotten, the reason for the quotation marks above is because the Shorts currently residing with me are actually the second pair used in this competition. The originals disappeared during their first and so far only sojourn to Oz.
So, without further ado, I present the official Freakin' Green Elf Shorts Caption Competition photo:
The rules are simple. Submit your caption(s) by 11:59 P.M. on December 31st, 2025. Yes, multiple entries are allowed. If you merely wish to comment, please be sure to specify that your comment is not a submission. You must own a blog to have your submissions considered. The winner must then host their own caption competition, with a picture of them actually wearing the Shorts. You may hide your face if your wish. No alteration of the Shorts is allowed.
A winner will be announced on January 7th. The winner will receive not just the Shorts, but also a few trinkets representing my location, anywhere from locally to regionally to nationally.
Please help spread the word by sharing this news on your own blog, if you have one.
Good luck! I can't wait to read (and judge) your witticisms. May you have a blessed and joyful holiday season.
