"smart" moments in Indy aka the "hidden" 51st Caption Contest

It seemed like Indy could never catch a break. Right as he was about to go into his tap solo, some sniper shot him in the foot!

The Statue in the background is pointing to Indy and saying:

"I want you, to go into that giant things mouth."

Just a few more days here. And by the way, there is still something that everybody is missing. At this point nobody has a bonus from completing the caption search thing.

Remember folks, you did not follow a map to this contest. Captions are not an exact science.

(Yes, that's a hint.)

Hmm... I'll go look for the rest of this thing later... (and I guess my conspiracy theory was right! haha!)

Anyway:

You have danced... poorly.

Steven Spielburg and George Lucas test their newest special effect -- making Indy AND his satchel (on far left) defy the law of gravity.

Indy decided that even with a gun aimed towards him, he can't hold it in any longer, and lifts his leg.

Hmph. I guess it's true. When you're a guy the world IS your toilet.

Indy would probably be the only guy in history to write in the snow in a foreign language. Like Latin...

Indy stood in the Himalayas (spelling, I know) surveying the landscape when he realized just how bad he had to go. He unbuckled his cold buckle, undid his fly and began to do his thing. On a whim, he wrote in the snow, deciding to brush up on his Latin.

"Damn it. In Latin, Jehovah starts with an 'I'." I'll eat a pound of snow and correct that in a few hours." Zzzzzzip.

Indy HAD been training furiously for the 1936 Olympics, too bad they were being held in Berlin. Oh well, those long jump skills pay off when you need to clear the occasional grand piano...

Well, good show all.

If you want to know how one was supposed to get here, you simply clicked on a little X which was hidden in the "Last edited by Intergamer..." blurb on the original caption page, then translated greek letters into english, then found some 'invisible' lettering somewhere on that thread after a lion's head, then went to the first caption contest, then came here. But whatever. A number of people solved that. Pale Horse and Finn were the only to completely finish the deal and use the word COLOR in their caption. If you click on the 'X' in the upper corner of the caption its an isolated link. The Code tags were probably a giveaway, and if you were to quote my original post, you would have found it for sure. Unfortunately for Pale Horse, it wasn't enough to vault him into the final rankings, but PH and F can crown themselves caption contest sleuths, or something.

Without further ado,

In 3rd Place,

(the satchel one was pretty good too, a shame that you can't spell :))

Brilliant about the Olympics, topical - and made the most sense since in the game, Indy is really trying to jump over the piano!

This would not be complete without honorable mentions: PH, the other person to use the word color in his caption, Indyologist for posting something completely unrelated ("Damn it. In Latin, Jehovah starts with an 'I'. I'll eat a pound of snow and correct that in a few hours.") - we considered giving you the Gold. Finally, Aaron H's second caption, since anything involving drooling somehow merits mention on this board.

I probably could say more, but my fingers are getting tired...


..Kudos to all!


INCIDENTALLY:
I personally feel that the caption contests are getting a little trite - I don't know if I have the authority to say this, but it might be a good time to retire it and try a different but similar game with captions? Or maybe switch to screenshots from the movies instead of from the games? I really think this is warranted, we've done a good 51 of these and it seems a good place to switch it around. Perhaps first we can have a best of - or that might be saved for the Raven Awards like last you. Deadlock, the future is in your hands.


And before I forget, GO USA OLYMPIANS!

That had to be the cleverest contest ever. Congrats to all participating in it, and to the creators of great things to come...

Wow. :eek: I'm honored. Thanks guys.

I'd like to thank everyone in New Zealand...





<small>Oh never mind...</small>





For all you caption addicts, I'm posting a poll at the Off Topic table to determine the fate of the caption contest for the future. I plan on leaving the polls open until Sunday, August 29th. So cast your vote and speak your piece. (And if you don't have a piece, go get one RIGHT NOW.) :)

Hey, Gilles? Is there any way that I could get this to replace "Indyfan" under my name??? :D

Thanks for the Honorable Mention! I'm ready for another caption contest-- pleeeese? :D

Perhaps this time using a still from the trilogy? Hmm? Hmm?

Stop reading this. Go back to post 1.

After nearly 5 years I figured it out! (A hint: apparently there was a time at the Raven when you had unlimited time to edit your own posts.) Pale Horse's review:
The best thread digger of all. Many sites have captions, this one was the best and most involved thread of all. It operates on so many levels, it was the smarter more academic caption thread. The stuff of true adventurers.
