Caption Contest
A big thanks to the folks over at Woodlink who have sent a big box full of prizes for the blog--so, let's have a caption contest!
The Rules:
1. Post a caption in the comments section.
2. To win, there must be a name with the caption--you can post anonymously, but you must put a name with your caption. If there is no name, it will be assumed that you do not want the prize. You are more than welcome to post a caption even if you do not want to win the prize.
3. Keep the captions PG-13.
4. The caption that makes me (an maybe Non Birding Bill) laugh the loudest wins.
5. You can post as many captions as you want.
The prize is daiquiri or sundae hummingbird feeder. Here is the photo:

"Now, if the formula for the force of attraction (F) between two bodies is: F=GMm/r2, where M and m are the masses of the bodies in kilograms, and r is the distance in metres between the centres of mass of the bodies, and
G is the Universal Gravitational Constant of about 6·67 × 10-11 Nm2/kg2* (That's about 0.0000000000667 newton metres2 per kilogram2.)

I'm David Attenborough, today on the Life of Birds we witness the mysterious, hidden world of GRACKLE SUMO. Two contenders vie for the affections of a female, who will emerge victorious.
(okay this would work much better if I could photoshop little sumo diapers on the birds...picture it...)

"I'm telling you, from this angle that cloud looks JUST like Bob Sagat."
Yes, rasslin' fans, we are only TWO days away from the biggest cage match in ABWA (American Bird Wrestling Assn) history. Who will fly free and who will end up in the cage: Gorgeous George Grackle or BlackJack Bill Blackbird? FLY, don't walk to see this one!
OK, that's it. I'm NOT going to feed you and you are moving out of the basement.
da da...da da...da da....I got you babe...I got you babe.

Again?! We had roadkill last night!
Do these feathers make me look fat?
It's a bird! It's a plane! It's a bird chasing a plane? It's the Whooping Cranes!
How did I get such a shiny black coat? I only eat organic roadkill!
Try doing it backwards and in high heels and see how easy YOU think it is!

Another tough decision on the caption contest but the winner of the Woodlink Hummingbird Feeder is Barbara with:
"I'm telling you, from this angle that cloud looks JUST like Bob Sagat."
Props for the random use of Bob Sagat. Barbara, email me your snail mail and we'll send out your feeder. sharon at birdchick dot com.
