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,

<i>Indy noticed at the last possible second somebody had removed the sign saying 'Don't shoot the pianist'. He wondered who had pulled the prank, since the manager was fed up with cleaning the red color from it night after night...</i>

In 1st Place, and the supreme 51st anniversary ultimate awesome xtreme caption contest king:

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...
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!
