Overwhelming success of the previous caption-writing contest suggests that if a blogger can’t encourage enough comments by the quality and content of his writing he should look into attracting comments by offering a valuable prize. This week’s prize is a gift that keeps on giving and then can still be recycled - it’s a magazine subscription. Pick any combination of magazine subscriptions adding up to 1,186 miles or less, email me your address and you are on your way to your favorite reading spot with a fresh issue of Horse Illustrated or Golf for Women. Note that these subscriptions are completely free and not trial offers.
The assignment is simple - write an award-winning caption for this Soviet-era poster.
Here are some important rules mostly adapted from the previous contest (enlarged fine print):
- I am the sole decider of who gets the prize. I will be fair and balanced. Do not try to seduce me to gain unfair advantage, especially if you are a guy. You will be disqualified.
- I will not personally deliver any magazines and will not read them to you to put you to sleep, especially if you are a guy.
- You must be willing to provide your mailing address. I promise not to show up uninvited and even if invited. You must be willing to confirm the fact of receiving said subscription from me so I don’t look like a dirty liar.
- This blog is not responsible for anything and does not accept complaints, returns and exchanges.
- If you use your mad Russian skills to decipher the text on the poster and translate it, I will find out and you will be disqualified. I can do it myself, believe me.
- Contest will be closed a week from today and the prize will be awarded next Friday 6/6/2008. Late entries will not be accepted.
- If you won in the previous contest feel free to participate again - it’s not my fault you are so talented.
- I am pretty sure you have to be in the USA.
Good luck, and let the best-looking woman reader win!

That ‘a’ should be ‘I’. The proper English was lost in translation.

You better beat it chimpo, XO just walked through the door and he is pissed. He says you ripped off his monocle that he kept as a momento from his starring role as Col. Klink, in the Independance summer stock production of Hogans Heroes.
