Thank you everyone for playing!
Welcome to our new Caption This Cartoon Blog!
For years, Jim & Tamra Meskimen have run this contest for their friends, and over the years it has attracted an international audience of clever people. What was once a monthly snail-mailing of a photocopied cartoon has evolved into the high tech, full color, global version of the game you see now.
The original purpose of this game is to give people who aren't ordinarily asked to, a chance to write a gag. It's good for you to create.
We invite you to create captions for our cartoons which will be published on this Blog for all the world to see, and will make you eligible for the coveted Meskimen Cartoon Contest Certificate and a swell prize picked out just for you! We will announce the winners, so please leave your name along with your captions.
You may submit as many captions as you like. Tell your friends! This is a family oriented blog, so no profanity, please.
Have fun! And don't think too much!

Heck, that ain't nuthin. When the sun goes down, we get bats bigger'n him comin' up to the porch playing ocarinas.
...the *really* weird thing is that he won't never play, unless I'm a-holdin' my git-tar backwards...
"ab-nonymous"

Woodrow, just WHAT were them drugs you were dumpin' in the water supply yesterday?
We've been playing "Strip Dueling Banjos." And that darned varmint already won my shoes and socks!
A. Biggs
I figger in time I can put a blonde wig on him, and folks will think he's Tom Petty.
He asked if he could play with me so I told him to go fer it.
I'm his songwriting partner now, but I started out as his gofer.
Christopher Smith
Wow - you can see him too?
-- Andrew Moore
Just practicin' for the next Republican convention.
Said he done escaped from a place called Chuckie Cheese.
I don't know, Chip! He's pretty darned good!
Well, you said “Go fer yer dreams,” and this feller says he's big in the underground music scene.
Chip.
He's a natural. We're going on the road together.
Tom: I KNEW that wasn't you playing.
Jed: Yeh! Well he's been playing longer than I have, and he comes from a family of musicians.
Graeme
This here gopher keeps insisting i'm kenny loggins. whatever, join in... "I'm alright, nobody's picking on me..."
What? What do you think is so funny? that the color of my house matches by bench, my porch, my roof but my drapes are still blue? What? what?
Hey, I'm George Bush. He's Dick Cheney. We're insane.
Hey Billy Bob? Please tell your girl friend to stop butting in while I am playing!

That's not John Denver!
I told you John Edwards would find work!
That explains why the septic tank ain’t working anymore!
No YOU go get the video camera.....I have to keep playing with him or he'll run off again !
Bob Hutcheson
"Either he smelled yer cookin' er heard my playin er both!"
J Via
ps -hey, I signed up and created a user name and then tried to log in with it and it wouldn't let me. I think alot of your "anonymous's" may have had the same problem
"He asys he likes the smell o' mu feet so much he wants to trade that banjo for a pair o' mu socks!"
J Via
"I told you we don't need a banjo playin' gofer for our band Jeb - now take th' ad outta th' paper!!"
J Via
Shoot..pickin' an a grinnin' is the universal language.
Just don't never tell Granny!
Yehawww..we's celebrating cuz Festus didn't see his shadow! Throw another tuber in the pot.
incpens@yahoo.com:
"Hey Willie, you ever heard Muskrat Love by The Captain and Tenille?"
Yep! I telled 'im if'n he'd whoop up some back-up banjo t' mah playin' this here gittar, I'd stop killin' off his frinds n famly fer duggin' up ahr veg-etable gardin.
"Hay Jimbo, this here feller says he'll pluck up a storm if we can tell him the way to San Fran Sisko."
"She Bangs, She Bangs"
Mah....its another American Idol contestant, get yor gun.
yup or job running the democratic race is over, time to kick back and have some fun, the brains behind the outfit here can really play cant he!
He plays so sweet it'll break my heart to eat him.
He keeps trying to convince me to audition for
Deliverence II
"Welp, lookin' like fer mer years of Old Man Dub'ya!"
"Welp, lookin' like fer mer years of Old Man Dub'ya!"
They/ve been playing Deliverance on cable again...
...and I always thought gopher's hated the banjo.
Whatever you do, don't criticize his playing....he hates that
He plays well, but I just don't think people will gopher it.
What would YOU say when a huge gopher approached you wanting to jam?
I thought the Devil appeared in an atractive guise.
Wait'll y'git a load of the Tiny Dancin' Bison that travels with him! Mighty purty in gingham.
"He can't hear you, he's playing his banjo--his brain is disconnected…"
So the Devil went down to Georgia, and all we get is a Prarie Dog?
I TOLD you that sign whut said "Nuclear Test Site...Keep Out!" meant something...
I sure do miss chuck-e-cheeze's
The trick is stapling the banjo to his paws. No opposable thumbs.
"He wants to know if he can be in the sequel to Deliverance......I told him he has one tooth too many!"
Jed whats all that darn noise about????
Oh Ted we was just goferin around!!
Chester..looky at the size of that tooth! I'm askeered if I stop pickin' that critters gonna stop a grinnin!
Henry..Imma little bit country, he's a little bit rock and soil.
Hey Earl, thats one dumb prarie dog. It can only pick a little more than a dozen songs.
Earl, your music teacher is here.
No, you go ahead and finish up the dishes. It's nice to finally play with someone who can keep up.
People in town are always talking about them two guys living together in the cabin. Maybe having some beaver around will finally shut them up! I wonder if he knows any show tunes?
First it was the lip syncing, then the boy bands, now an instrumental rat, man billy bob the world sure had gone down the crapper

"He disappears underground for awhile, then he comes up, performs for the folks, then disappears again. He's done this for over four years...I've nicknamed him 'Cheney'."
"Who ever drew us has big problems!"
"Who ever drew us has big problems!"
I done told ya, "If you play it, he will come..."
--Savio
Think you can make him squeal like a pig?
Git a water bucket Paw, that nitwit plumber dun tunneled thru the septic tank agin.
Heck, all I did was rub this here guitar an' he popped up outta nowhere an' offered me three blue-grass tunes.
He's wantin' to know if I know that song they played in "Deliverance"...
You know a Alvin, Simon, or Theodore?
"Billy-Joe, that gophers back ageen"
"I'll go get the shotgun"
-Brandon Mcgouldrick
"Junior....me and the critter decided that the band needed to go in a different direction. So, we won't be needin' you and them spoons anymore".
"I don't care what he looks like...he knows the banjo part for 'Turkey in the Straw!'"
or
"I'll keep him busy, you slip around behind him with the shotgun."
Thinks he can get a headline spot on "Puxatawny Today", if he gets there by Feb 2nd.....
Says he's tired of bein' our gofer, wants to be in the band.
Karen Diehl
What I'm sayin' is that one of us better figger out the words, and quick-like.
Make that three beers, and get Letterman on the phone.
How we gonna get him to drop his britches if he ain't wearin' any?
"I'll be coming round the mountain when it comes."
Hey, jasper, I found a replacement for your cousin in the band and he's better looking to boot.
"He may look like Earl but he can't can't play it like he did".
"Says he wants to jam, but all he knows is that underground music."
...now, hold in your varmint, she ain't the purdiest in the county, but at least I got us some beaver!
I just got tired of singin' "...cat and the fiddle..."
"I know - I've never seen a left-handed banjo before, either!"
He said we are tresspassing' on his land so's we gotta mave it or he will get us with his banjo
As your ghost-writer, I must ask that you don't edit me. The line is "To sleep, perchance to dream"...not "I need to cop some Z's and visit Fantasyland!"
NASA's crash test dummy in orbit...all systems go!
Calvin, we will not have an anatomically correct snowman!
