Announcing the winners of our photo caption contest, which we announced last week.
First, here's the video that the caption was for:
We had four winners. Here they are, in alphabetical order:
Richard Gozinya: A lot of magical stuff happens and then…poof!…out comes the biodiesel.
Rico Reed: Fresh running photo-shop!
Baron Sekiya: Ho brah! Check out da video I went shoot of dis faucet. I bin watchin' dis ting all week in da office…UNREAL!!! Da bucket neva even ova-flow once wit water! How dey do dat?
Brendan Shriane: Sherwin-Williams' invisible paint might just work a little too well.
I got a real kick out of these.
The prizes? Rubbah slippahs, of course! At one of the recent PUC hearings, a friend of mine donated three grocery bags full of rubbah slippahs.
To our four winners: Give me a call on my cell phone, 960-1057, to claim your prize. Please really do call, because I would like to talk to each of you.
It’s blog editor Leslie Lang here with the winners of our caption contest.
Here is the picture for which we asked you to supply a caption:
You’ll recall that Richard asked me to choose the winner, ostensibly so he wouldn’t be swayed by friends or family. But now I’m thinking he just remembered how hard it is to pick a winner!
We had lots of entries, and there were some really clever ones. It was hard, but I narrowed them down. I stripped the names off my top four, showed Richard and tried to get him to help me decide which one was the best one.
He read them, laughed and announced a four-way tie.
So here are the four winning captions and the winners’ names. They are not in any order (except alphabetical):
• And the four little piggies cried ‘Auwe!’ all the way home – Maia Nilsson
• Dinner on the run – Patrick Kahawaiolaa
• Finally, Porky was able to fulfill a lifelong dream: to recreate the cover of the Abbey Road album – Baron Sekiya
• Hey Ralph… are they stopping for us, or did that oil thing peak out? – Wally Andrade
Congratulations to Maia, Patrick, Baron and Wally. If you are on the Big Island, please call Richard at 960-1057 and make arrangements to pick up your prize: a box of fresh, mixed Hamakua Springs vegetables.
If you are not located here, then we send you our heartiest congratulations, and unless you have plans to come to the Big Island we’ll have to leave it at that (as we mentioned in the first post; sorry!).
Here is the photo for our photo caption contest again:
We have a 1st place winner, and three people who tied for second place.
Richard is a generous soul with a good sense of humor, and so he’s going to be packing up four boxes of fresh, delicious Hamakua Springs vegetables.
1st place:
2nd place, a three-way tie (in alphabetical order):
Each of you can pick up a prize box from Richard at the Kino‘ole Farmers Market any Saturday morning. Please let him know which Saturday you’ll be there, so he can have the box ready for you, by emailing him ahead of time at richard@hamakuasprings.com.
Congratulations to all that entered and thanks for the laughs! You guys are great.
