And the winner is..... gaiapapaya!!!

And right out of the gate, at that. It's remarkable that anyone else bothered to attempt a better one. Not that several weren't indeed very nice. Among those that made our decision difficult, matt's "Oh this old thing? ..." and Shelby's taken with Fally's.

Kinda pissed that you didn't win? Take it out on this! http://www.lawrence.com/blogs/caption_th...

BTW big props to this week's winner for her/his username.

Did you know Gaia means: "The Earth personified as a goddess, daughter of Chaos. She was the mother and wife of Uranus (Heaven); their offspring included the Titans and the Cyclopes."

Papaya means: "A tropical fruit shaped like an elongated melon, with edible orange flesh and small black seeds."

Gaiapapaya means "Awesome."
