Orson Scott Card created a lot of captions for my recent dialog contest and I could only use one. They were too much fun to waste, though.
So–with Orson’s permission–I dialogued two of the wildest. Here’s the first. The second appears Friday.
↓ TranscriptSCENE: Young woman lying face down on a bed with a green bedspread.
CAPTION: Alien spy Ha’as Fratu got his jollies by taking the form of a green bedspread!
WOMAN: o-o-o-o-w-ee! I m-must be the l-luckiest g-girl in the universe! I p-put a
quarter in t-three hours ago…and the b-bed’s still v-v-vibrating!

Congratulations to winner Gordon Pyke (and to everyone who took part in the contest.)
Second Place honors went to Jeff Willis for his submission: MAN: I feel faint. WOMAN: You should put your head between my knees.
Third Place bragging rights went to Gale Grove for the following dialog: MAN (thinking): I knew that she was a real women when she opened the beer with her tongue.
Special thanks to Orson Scott Card for writing the opening caption and setting the scene for the contest comic.
There were lots of great submissions that didn’t win prizes, but that are well worth reading. Some of my favorites are here.

Dialog by Gordon Pyke
SCENE: A man and woman are picnicking below a tree. The man is on his back and has his head is in the woman's lap. He's holding a beverage in one hand. The woman smiles and looks down at him.
CAPTION: She knew he was a real man when he fell out of the tree without dropping his beer.
WOMAN: I guess climbing trees isn’t your thing, honey! Why don’t you try something easier…like me?

Lucky me. Not only did Orson Scott Card create a caption for the current writing contest (submit through Feb. 5, 2010), he also wrote the dialog for today’s comic.
Frankly, I love it. (If Charles Addams did romance comics I’d like to think they’d be like this.)
Orson actually wrote captions for a number of other Last Kiss panels. I’m just trying to figuring out the best time and format to use them. As I said before…lucky me.
↓ TranscriptSpecial guest writer: Orson Scott Card
Scene: Grim-faced man in the foreground; woman behind him over his shoulder, looking worried.
WOMAN: But you said if I sacrificed my conjoined twin...you'd
love me forever!
MAN: I wasn't talking to you!

Submissions from Fans:
Cruelly mocked by the Homecoming King ten years ago with such nicknames as “Pepperoni Puss” (acne), “Nebraska” (flat and plain), and “Frez Nell” (thick glasses), Eustace Tittlesworth would have her revenge at the reunion picnic, as soon as the effects of his arsenic-laced cocktail took effect. — Torsten Adair

This is darned comfortable. Norma Jean: (thinking) Why God? Why me? I only went braless the one time, and this is how you punish me? — Michael Clark
He wasn’t sure if he was suffering from heat stroke or if he was just dizzy in love, but he knew one thing… the only thing that could provide him relief was the shade from her gigantic rack. — Stan Yan
…Not realizing that he had just been thrown off the branch by an irate chipmunk. — Chris Martin
