The Freakin' Green Elf Short Competition!

Folks, you know you've been waiting for it, and now, it's here.

Karen passed on the prize to me, and I must pass the prize on in turn. It will go, my friends to the winner of....

THE FREAKIN' GREEN ELF SHORT COMPETITION!!!


You can get the skinny on the freakin' green elf shorts competition from Kim if you don't know what the hell is going on here, but here's the deal: the funniest caption for this pic is the next winner of the freakin' elf shorts!

Deadline for captions: GMT 10pm Friday 17th June 2005. (I know the year is probably a bit of overkill, but I don't want entries coming in for the rest of my life!)

Here's the pic! Make the Owls laugh - and like I tell Mrs Owl, I like 'em short n' snappy!

I'll pass on the shorts, but here's a caption:

"After his return from the war, even Frodo's closest friends had to admit that the little hobbit had changed."

The moment he put them on, Spirit of Owl knew the elf shorts had a pixie curse on them.

What he could not for the life of him figure out was what the curse was going to make him do next...

Owl! I've followed the shorts since Frally and am glad you won them because I've really enjoyed your site. . . right up to the part where I saw your legs and your gnomes. :)

Peter refused to grow up, or give Tink her shorts back.

I don't want the damn shorts so there had better be a lot of better replies.

Well, the elf is obviously still practicing, so my caption is simply "Potty Training".

Great pic BTW. I didn't bother entering when Kimmy had the shorts because looking at them on her I figured there was no way in hell they would fit me, but seeing them on you has made me change that opinion ;)

The gnomish hosts of What (G)not To Wear were in total agreement:

"The traditional horned helmet is both functional and stylish, but you must agree that the potty helmet we've picked out for you accentuates your boyish good looks. Don't you think so Trinny?"

Actually I was insinuating that Kimmy looked like a deliciously slender hot babe in those shorts thus making the shorts look quite dinky.

However if the BFG hat fits... well you'd have to take the potty off first *grin*

OK, in light of recent developments...

There once was an elf named Sir Hotty
The gnomes thought he was a bit dotty
His shorts were a hoot
The sword was no good
And his daughter yelled "Where is my potty?"

When Mr and Mrs Gnome told "baby gnome" that he was really adopted and his real parents were Freakin Elv's in Green Shorts his reaction was to dress up as a Freakin Elf in Freakin Green Elf Shorts and try to force the identity of his real parents out of Mr and Mrs Gnome with his trusty spear and potty hat (the viking hat was to protect his identity while he was on the run after brutally slaying Mr and Mrs Gnome)
