There were a ton of entries, many of which were very clever, some of which made reference to other areas of the LRR universe, and some of which disturbed us a little. (It was the rose–so many unconsidered implications…)

Operation: Fill in the Lobster

Operation: Fill in the Lobster

In the end, one caption really made us chuckle, and so we’d like to award the victory in this operation to The Stolker. Here is his entry:

PAUL: What do you mean you can’t finish your mission?
LOBSTER: It’s because I’m in love!
PAUL: Then the communists have won…

We’re also offering Runners Up status to baggins_of_41, King Kool, and sk8sheep24.

sk8sheep24’s Runner Up Entry:

Paul: Ahhh! A talking lobster!
Lobster: Ahhh! A talking human!
Paul: Ahhh! Where?!?!

King Kool’s Runner Up Entry:

Paul: I hope my date isn’t allergic to seafood.
Lobster: So you’re Paul! What are you making?
Paul: Sssssssalads?

Here are some of the other entries that were sent in, including baggins_of_41’s Runner Up entry:

The winning entry.

Edit: Thanks to Vigafre and King Kool for whipping up graphical versions of the winning and Runner Up entries which were just text-based! I’ve added those to the gallery.

Taking something that was used in one way and doing something entirely different with it is one of the great triumphs of the human creative mind! Or at least, that’s what my mom told me after I showed her the Sock Hat I made once…

We want you to do something along the same lines. Jer threw together a comic strip-style page using screenshots from the LRR video “Ways to Stay Awake”, and it’s up to you to fill in the blanks!

Here’s the image:

You can edit your text into the image directly, or just send us the words themselves, with directions as to which panel they go in. For example, it might look something like this:

PAUL: I love radishes!

LOBSTER: I love radishes too!

PAUL: We’re best friends forever!

Send your entries to operations@loadingreadyrunners.com by midnight on Friday, August 21. If you’d like to be added to the Runners, be sure to include your forum name with your submission.
