Caption Winner: janeybgood @ “Cupid Or Cats“
Of course there is a bit of a back story to why the caption “Apocalypse Cow” was chosen unanimously (3-0 vote) by my children. They explained to me that out of 161 possible captions that were provided by many readers of The Sting Of The Scorpion that “Apocalypse Cow” was the hands down winner. Why? There were a few reasons, as it was pointed out to me, number one reason was because Apocalypse Now is my all time favorite movie and the fact that I can watch the entire movie on mute and can quote the entire movie. So, my children believed that because of the scenery in the picture that it reminded them of the movie so the choice was easy. They then modified the lower quote because over the years, when I’m grilling or smoking I said that very thing, “I love the smell of steak in the morning, it smells like ……………….. victory”. What can I say, my kids know me and what I like. So we celebrated last night after dinner by doing none other than watching Apocalypse Now with full on blasting volume. It was a beautiful moment, my wife by my side and two of my three children on the other couch, no phones, no tablets, no computers, just a hand in the popcorn as we all enjoyed daddy’s favorite movie.

But really, thanks 🙂

And, I must apologize, you didn’t actually “win” anything now. But, if I must add, I did put your name up in lights just as I promised, for the world to see, well okay, for that handful of people to see. Maybe I ought to look into some prizes from the Dollar Store or something……..

Great caption! Of course it is, because Janey put it together. But I have to comment, because Apocalypse Now is one of my favorite movies ever, top 3 for me. The only that surpasses it in my eyes is The Thin Red Line, which I view as kind of a sequel to that movie. Ever seen it?
Great photo by the way, made me laugh.

It will be interesting to see how the next couple I have to do go because they might be deemed a little controversial as well by some. But, you are absolutely correct, she did an awesome job!
