For the past several weeks we've asked:
Whats your Caption for this Pamlico County picture?

AND THE WINNER IS: The Caption Captains here at TownDock.net were taken by Mike Foster's bilingual approach,

"$1200 Al Dente?"

Mike, we'll be shipping that can of Chef Boyardee to you in Craven County soon.


The forlorn Jeep has been sitting on the side of Hwy 55 for at least a half year by our count. Perhaps longer. We wonder if the message may be permanently imprinted on the windshield.

We have many honorable mentions for this Pamlico Caption.

Rose Peterson of Vandemere wrote to say that she passes it every morning on her way to teaching tai chi in Oriental. The Jeep, she says, "always looks so woeful and lonely." Her suggestion:

"Pleeeease, won't someone come kick my tires??"
(We're thinking it'd be a gentle kick though...)


Chris Weinheimer's caption seemed straight from the Reluctant Boat Seller's Handbook.
"My wife is making me sell it!"

Award for Most Optimistic Caption would have to go to Karen Meyer who suggested, "Let's Roll!!"

More realistic perhaps, was Jamie Knapp's:
"Only the strong need apply."

There were some entrants who thought they saw a bargain:
"She may be past 40, but she's still firm -- and the price is right, too!"
-- Joshua Potter, Arapahoe

"CHEEP JEEP or CHEAP JEAP"
--- George & Mary Duffie, Oriental

But most of the captions focussed on the seller's unwillingness to move on price... and whether the jeep could move at all.

"Jeepers, creepers. Anyone paying a $1000 firm should be infirmed!"
MB Strickland, Lake Lucern, GA

"Price Firm, Rust Negotiable"
- Buck Loy, Oriental

"Firm Price; Infirm Vehicle"
-- Marsha J. Wordell, Oriental

"FIRM STANDS FOR: Foolish Investment Requiring Madness."
Charlie Garrett, "Part-time Bean Porch Pirate"

Thanks to all who entered.
