Okay… We had a number of great entries in the “ Princess Gracie Caption Contest ” as well as several that sucked like an atomic Hoover… (we won’t mention any names of course…*cough* DINANNA *cough*) Still, after hours of agonizing, deliberating, and seeking much counsel (plus a few minutes to actually read your entries…) We have a TIE! Soooo…we’re going to break this thing into two categories… 1. Best “stand alone” caption. 2. Best use of special effects (or the “most free time on their hands award!”) Winner in the first category… MARY LOU: with: “Crikey!!! Careful mates, when she raises her hair like ...
