I liked the "only *certain* people are able to take it with them" feel to it.<BR/><BR/>That's my story and I'm stickin' to it!<BR/><BR/>:)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1273420145917074292.post-41154258593838188802007-04-30T16:49:00.000-04:002007-04-30T16:49:00.000-04:00For a while, I was keeping track of how many New Y...For a while, I was keeping track of how many New Yorker cartoons I found funny. Their batting average for the four issues I did it was something like .225. They tend to try to hard in the regular cartoons, which is why I like the caption contest so much.<BR/><BR/>Good line for yours, too.Brandohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10484284471046027179noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1273420145917074292.post-29907438966666097182007-04-30T09:16:00.000-04:002007-04-30T09:16:00.000-04:00Ah, yes, I saw that and the similar caption that m...Ah, yes, I saw that and the similar caption that made it into the final three.<BR/><BR/>You've made the mistake of mentioning Scarsdale. This implies that the New Yorker is first and formost written for and about New York City and the surrounding area. That hasn't been true since 1973.Kevin Wolfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17490345765638949916noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1273420145917074292.post-71977098120141654022007-04-24T13:33:00.000-04:002007-04-24T13:33:00.000-04:00Good line, MA.
