Pride and Prejudice Caption Contests

And what would 200 years of Pride and Prejudice be without a caption contest? Of course I had to hold a caption contest!


Rules

1. To submit a caption, leave a comment with the caption in it and what character you would want on the winner's button if you win (if you leave it blank, I will pick).
2. You can comment up to three captions.
3. Keep the captions clean and family friendly.
4. I will accept captions until January 25th at 11:55 PM Central Time. The next day, I will put up a poll and a post with the captions. You then vote in that poll which will end on January 27th.
5. The winner will be announced on January 28th.

Contest: Guess Their Thoughts

Here at Elegance of Fashion, the Jane Austen Birthday Assembly will start off with a contest: the Guess Their Thoughts Contest. This is a new contest that I recently thought up of for something new and different for Elegance of Fashion.

Instructions:

1. Pick a segment of a dialogue (a couple of lines so that the entry makes sense) from a Jane Austen novel or adaptation.
2. Take one of the characters and write down what they might be thinking in modern-speak.
3. Leave a comment saying with novel/adaptation it came from and the entry
4. Entries will be accepted until Sunday, December 16th (Jane Austen's Birthday). Voting will commence on Monday, December 17th and last until the 20th when the Jane Austen Birthday Assembly closes.

Rules

• You can submit up to three.
• As always, keep it clean and family friendly.

Examples:

Mr. Darcy: It must be agreeable to her to live within easy distance of her family.

Elizabeth: Easy distance? It's nearly fifty miles!

Mr. Darcy: What is fifty miles of good road? Yes, an easy distance.

Elizabeth: (thinking) Oh sure, you've never had to travel with my family.

Mr. Darcy: You would not wish to be always near Longbourn, I think.

Elizabeth: (Thinking) What, like your family's so perfect that you always want to live near Rosings?

Vote On Captions!

Now that the submissions for captions are now closed, now comes the poll! I got a very good response on submissions for the caption contest!

So, remember what the picture was...

Which captions are your favorites?

1. "I am an absolute scourge of spiders! Woe betide any spider who ventures into my society!"
2. "All of Mr. Fife's deputies must learn his special salute, Miss Woodhouse. It's mandatory."
3. Emma: Farm boy, fetch me that pitcher.
   Elton: As you wish.
4. Elton: As always, Miss Woodhouse, you preside over everything else in existence. I will guard this scroll with my life.
5. Elton: The only power that I can see at present, madmoiselle, is the power of your beauty.
   Emma: Well, beauty is in the eye of the beholder, Mr Elton.
   Elton: This beholder is enchanted.
6. Mr. Elton: "You see, Emma something is not quiet right up stairs with Harriet."
7. "One must always use the little gray cells, you know, Miss Woodhouse!"
8. Elton: Don't look now, but I've a feeling we're being WATCHED.
9. Mr. Elton-- The discoverer of Treasure Planet would go down in history as one of the grestest explorers! He'd be able to experience... Whoa! What just happened?
10. Mr. Knightly: He may sepak sentimentally but he will behave rationally. Why is he hitting himself with that?
11. Emma: A soldier? A brain surgeon? A king?
    Mr. Knightley: Oh Emma, you've never been good at Charades!
12. Elton: I'm off to see the Wizard, the Wonderful Wizard of Oz! 
13. Elton: Superglue, Miss Woodhouse? How droll.
    Emma & Knightley: Muwhahahahahaha!
14. Mr. E: Your Majesty, I would gladly take a bullet for you.
    Emma: Oh how brave, most interns don't even want to fetch me my tea.
15. Emma: Aren't you so adorable?! I mean, is it just me or is he adorably cute?
    Knightley: For me, two words come to mind--delusional and weirdo. And also, goofy. Just goofy. 
16. Mr. Elton: Oh Emma, I have this itch on my forehead, I can't stop scratching it!
    Emma: My, how exhilarating! Is it a result of your feverish love for Miss Smith?

And, because I'm feeling generous ("I'm the soul of generosity!"), I'm going to make the poll so you can select multiple answers! So select as many as you like!

You have one week to vote!

Caption Contest (With Poll Coming Soon!)

I'd thought I would host a little caption contest this week! I've downloaded a new program that allows me to take decent screenshots at a fast rate, so I can take more screenshots that I could before.

Rules:

1. You may submit up to three different captions. Simply comment your caption(s) in this post. You can put them all in one comment or in separate comments if you're coming up with captions separately.
2. Keep the captions clean. I also reserve the right to refuse any captions I deem inappropriate.
3. I will be accepting captions until Saturday (9/15/12) at 11:55 PM CST. I will then post a poll for the best caption (but don't neglect the regular poll either!). The poll will last for one week. I will announce the winner when the poll is over.
4. Have fun!

Here is the picture. It's a little blurry in spots (thanks, Mr. Elton!), but you get the idea.

And don't forget Mr. Knightley in the window (but it's not required to include him in the caption, but he might be useful in the caption(s)!)

I can't wait to see what you all come up with!
