Caption Contest 69: Monkey business

Come up with the best replacement dialog for this random comic book panel and you'll win your choice of either any item or a portrait of your beautiful face to go into the final HeroMachine 3 program!

day-of-vengeance-1-2005-monkey

The rules are simple:

  • No more than three entries per person;
  • Each entry must be left as a comment (or all three in one comment, whatever) to this post;
  • Keep it clean, appropriate for a late-night broadcast television show.

That's it! Good luck everyone, we'll run this contest for a week and next Monday I'll post the finalists for you to vote on.
