Thank you so much to everyone who contributed!! I said I'd pick the six entries I liked the best, but I've ended up including them all - they were all too good. ;-)

~~~~~

1. Mad Cow Disease - The Beginning.

2. "Yeah, I dress my human. She seems to need it."

3. Cow: it's not my fault she has no life companions. . .

4. Cow Fashion show, Winner gets to pose for the next "Chik-fil-a" Calendar.

5. "This cow is like a daughter to me!"

6. Mrs. Forrester: "What's the matter, Bessie dearest?" Bessie (to herself): "Those buttercups - they look soo delicious! Oh! If only I could talk human!!"

7. Mrs. Forrester: "At least I don't look like my cow!"

8. Mrs. Forrester: "...And we've been happily married ever since!"

9. "She's a little too big for the baby carriage, so I have to walk her around on a rope."

LITTLE DORRIT ON TV IN AUS!!!!

Finally!!! (Do excuse my extravagant use of exclamation marks. . . Miss Matty would be shocked! ;-)

Little Dorrit

The BBC's Little Dorrit will be ON TV in Australia THIS SUNDAY NIGHT (June 27th) - ABC1 at 8:35pm - and for the following three Sunday nights. Don't miss it! It's my second-favourite Dickens adaptation of all time - in other words, it is very, very, good! I wouldn't recommend it for young viewers, however - teens and up would be the appropriate audience. For a Christian review of Little Dorrit, head on over to Charity's Place.

Edit: Little Dorrit got rave reviews from Fairfax Media's "The Guide", lauded as one of the "shows of the year", and "a masterpiece"! I'll second that! ;-)

Friday caption contest!

A lot of other bloggers have been having caption contests lately. I thought it would be fun to have one here at Ribbons of Light.

Each week (hopefully every Friday), I'll post a picture. Then it will be your turn to think up the funniest, wittiest caption you can. Entries will be open for all of Friday and Saturday (Australian time, LOL! Probably Thursday evening - early Saturday morning in America). After entries close, I'll pick the six captions that make me laugh the most. :-) Then I'll create a poll for those six, and you can vote for whichever caption you thought was the best. Winner is announced the next Friday, at which point there will also be a new picture to post captions for! Make sense? I hope I wasn't too confusing. . .

Now, lets get started! This week's picture. . .
