The Winner of the FGES Caption Competition is...

 

Yes, it's that time. Time to announce the winner of my Freakin' Green Elf Shorts Caption Competition. But first, some Dishonorable Unmentionables:

Inexplicable DeVice: "(Down) Under the Freakin' Green Elf Shorts's grip of terror, Rimpy pleads for release!"

Scarlet: "Rimpy announces that the Freakin' Green Elf Shorts are to be made an UNESCO Heritage Site, and just like the Sydney Opera House, they often contain huge organs."

Mistress Borghese (AKA Maddie): "I wonder how much tariff Trump will put on these Elf goods?"

And the winner is (drum roll please)...

Steve. Because 'Steve' is almost as nice a name as 'Paul' was

Auntie Anne's got nothing on those pretzels!

This was Steve's winning caption:

"The Freakin' Green Elf King emerges from his Pointy Citadel to greet the world."

Congratulations, Steve! Steve is a first time winner, and as far as I can tell, a first time participant in the FGES Competition (please correct me if I am wrong about that, Steve). Please write to me at rimpyrimpington@gmail.com and provide me with a mailing address, so that I may send the Shorts to you, along with some souvenirs of my home in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada mountains.

Thanks to Steve, and everyone else who entered (or just commented). Our numbers may have dwindled, but we few, we happy few, we band of weirdos, help to keep the phenomenon known as the Freakin' Green Elf Shorts alive and stickin'. Long may they wave! Preferably in a patch of sunlight -- nothing like UV rays to kill germs and eliminate odors.
