Caption the Political Photo: Stephen Harper shakes hands with the Dalai Lama

"I have always enjoyed listening to your sister, the Dalai Parton!"

Change your ways, Mr. Harper, or you'll be reincarnated as pond scum

Now that we know who you are, I know who I am. I'm not a mistake! It all makes sense! In a comic, you know how you can tell who the arch-villain's going to be? He's the exact opposite of the hero. And most times they're friends, like you and me! I should've known way back when... You know why, Lama? Because of the kids. They called me Mr Glass.

My country has an elected leader and gay rights. Now put on some pants.

First of all, I would like to thank the Academy of Website Moderating Arts and Sciences for this tremendous tribute. To be nominated alongside so many other brilliant commenters was amazing enough, but this honour is almost impossible to believe.

I look forward to receiving the appropriate trophy, plaque, or coupon for a free glass of wine at O'Doul's.

I would also like to thank my mother, who supported my childhood dream of becoming an internet forum commenter. Others scoffed, because the internet hadn't been invented yet, but not my Mom. She always believed that I'd find a way to buy gin, especially after 3 p.m. when she took out the martini shaker.

Before I run out of time, I would also like to thank Sony Corporation, for making my laptop; all of the children who slaved in a sweat shop to manufacture it; Telus, for providing my intermittent but extremely expensive internet connection; and, most of all, the Georgia Straight for creating this dysfunctional forum.

I love you guys, and I couldn't have done it without you!

DavidH?!
Why that so and so couldn't caption his way out of a wet paper blog. I'd say this funny business has been fixed from the click go. It's always some GUY named David or Chad or Brad or Thurston Sony the Third. I never had a name brand laptop handed to me. While David grew up in his mother's lap surrounded buy cocktail parties and lavish internet connections, I assemble my own tower through years hard fought dial-up plug and play, depriving those foreign kids assembly jobs like any good and hard driving Canadian should. DavidH? Puh Leeease! Next they'll probably give an award to that hack R U Kiddingme! No, by the way R U, we are not. We R Humouring U. F U DavidH. You outta thank your fraternity buddies for coercing or bribing the normally discerning and erudite Stephen Hui into throwing you the win. "Dalai Parton?" I remember reading that on a bathroom wall when I was five. It still smells like sh!t. Enjoy your time in the Georgia sun DavidH but remember; we are the 99% and you forum commenting fat cat 1%ers can't keep cheating the system with impunity forever. If you win again I'm moving to french forums.

@PleaseWhatever: Oh yeah?! I'm telling. Nobody accuses Stephen Hui of erudition and gets away with it!

More importantly, at the end of the day, I still have the "Georgi" for Best Original Photo Caption on my mantle, and you ... you just have a Guy Fawkes mask and a lot of deep-seated bitterness toward those who have a high-speed (intermittent) internet connection and a store-bought laptop.

(PS - I don't believe that you could read when you were five. So there.)

:)

Well hello Dalai. Hello Dalai, I hope you're not here to tell me I'm wrong. Well hello Dalai............(sing it, readers)
