The Popcorn Girls – You Vote!

Sorry, I’m a few days late with getting to this. But, better late than never, eh?

To recap, here’s the picture I posted the other day:

Your mission, if you chose to accept it, was to come up with a caption to match the picture. Some of you took the challenge. Below are the entries for your perusal.

1: "Can't wait for a bowl!!!"

2: (Woman on the right) "Uh, wait before you eat that. I think it might be burnt."

3: The woman on the right: "Uhhh it's burnt! Yuck!" Woman on the left: You wanted me to keep it in there for an additional 20 seconds!"

4: "Pop!" or "In the bag."

5: "Mmm...butta-wee!"

6: "I can't believe it; we blonds do have more fun!"

7: Who needs a man when you've got Orville?

8: Woman on the right, "Did you just spit a kernel back into the bag?" Woman on the left, "Yep, and I'm putting this one back in, too!"

9: woman on the right: I don't think Fido peed on it. I'll try it first. Hmm... Not bad.
Woman on the left: Then why does it taste wet?

10: (Woman on right) "Are you sure they're dead?"
(Woman on left) "Of course, silly...it's been in the microwave!"

11: (Woman on right): "Don't you just love the way they've stamped the calorie count on every kernel?"
(Woman on left):"Uh-huh.

12: "What do you mean, Orville Redenbacher was cremated?"

13: The woman holding the bag: The new lemonade flavored popcorn gives one pucker power.
The other woman: Yeah, but I hate those seeds.

14: "I hope this is a barf bag" (woman on right)

Okay, there they all are.

NOW—YOU get to vote on the best caption. Just post your vote as a comment using the number before each quote. No need to reprint the entire caption – I have a list of them.

The vote will close Friday evening around 6:00 pm Pacific Time. When we have a winning caption, I’ll post the story behind the picture, the winner, and the sequel picture.

Remember, the winner wins a tapestry angel tote bag in tan and burgundy; 13" x 13" x 3" with 11" drop handles and a single snap closure.

Thanks!
