The real story behind Tyshawn Taylor's dislocated finger is far more embarrassing than anyone imagined.
mcgovernn (George McGovernn) says…
That ref's like "Oh man I hope Burger King is still open after this game is done."
ObiWan (anonymous) says…
"I've always dreamed of playing in the NBA...the National Ballet Association!"
Shelby (anonymous) says…
"I don't know what this means, but will it help us win the game?"
DOTDOT (anonymous) says…
Mama, looka me, Mama!
lori (anonymous) says…
"Training for the ballet, Potter?!"
MisterAggro (anonymous) says…
"So the fountain I bought is a cherub like this."
Remora (anonymous) says…
In a stunning development today, the NCAA votes to allow tasers during gameplay.
Remora (anonymous) says…
Another great moment in rhythmic gymnastics.
Remora (anonymous) says…
So you think you can dance...dance...dance.
Carmenilla (anonymous) says…
Don't ask, don't tell...
To Gavon: where do I find the winners for the last few caption contests on ljworld.com?
racerx (anonymous) says…
Combining the excitement of basketball with the grace of rhythmic gymnastics, the sassy sport of Ballistics never quite caught on.
DOTDOT (anonymous) says…
Carmenilla:
I suspect this caption contest is a ruse to increase distribution for the print edition. All over town, thousands of readers are actually buying a newspaper on Thursdays to see who won the caption contest, the results of which are alleged to be printed in the Thursday Pulse section.
Don't fall for it ereaders. Rise up! Sit down! Declare yourselves the winner and go get your damn tshirts! Lets swarm Gavon's desk in protest!
chewyfally (Falestine Afani Ruzik) says…
DOTDOT, good luck swarming Gavon's desk. I heard he likes to write his stories from inside a dumpster behind the Journal-World building. I also heard he likes to take his lunches in the restroom. Hey, whatever works. He's the "artist." ;-)
gavon (Gavon Laessig) says…
Dateline, Ladies Room on the Third Floor -- Carmenilla, as DOTDOT conspiratorially suggested, you'll find the winners in the Thursday Pulse section of the Lawrence Journal World. It was indeed just a ruse to drive up circulation, and I would have gotten away with it if wasn't for you darn DOTs!
It occurs to me now (because the fumes from the dumpster have clouded my judgment) that not everyone participating in this contest lives in Lawrence or has access to a print edition. I shall resume posting the winners here.
Fally, could you pass me the toilet paper?
DOTDOT (anonymous) says…
That's not Fally, that's me. Here ya go, buddy.
gavon (Gavon Laessig) says…
Thanks, bro. And how about a courtesy flush? Cabbage for dinner last night?
corduroypants (anonymous) says…
This is good news. While yours truly skulks about the abandoned Masonic Lodge at night, composing his captions and setting fires, he knows some of his fellow commenting brethren live in Dallas, LA, Waxahachie, et al. Hey, who the fuck is this "Et Al" character? But I digress...
DOTDOT (anonymous) says…
That's my cologne. I guess you don't like it. And stop tapping your damn foot. This is the lady's room, for god's sake, and I can't concentrate.
gavon (Gavon Laessig) says…
Per our very discursive discussion on gay cruising and cabbage in the Ladies Room, here now are the winners and almost winners!
Winner:
racerx--"Combining the excitement of basketball with the grace of rhythmic gymnastics, the sassy sport of Ballistics never quite caught on."
Runners Up:
ObiWan--"I've always dreamed of playing in the NBA...the National Ballet Association!"
MisterAggro--"So the fountain I bought is a cherub like this."
Remora--"In a stunning development today, the NCAA votes to allow tasers during gameplay."
As always, you can see your snark nugs in print tomorrow morning. We didn't have many entries this week, but they were quality. Now, let's see if we can get thrice as many comments going with this week's target...Daaaaaviiiiid Lettermaaaan!

One man's discursive discussion is another man's intercourse.
