Percy, David Boyd, Fec Stench Lose News & Record Cartoon Caption Contest #13
We continue our roll up of local captioning firms — you know, economies of scale and all that — with the acquisition of Greensboro blogger Fecund Stench's fearsome captioning operations. Meanwhile, the News & Record's performance numbers continue to drop. Shareholders will no doubt soon bring a derivative suit alleging breaches of fiduciary duty in failing to properly honor our entries.
For next week's cartoon, go here.

"Whatever happened to going outside to hang out with your friends instead of meeting them in a chat room."

This weeks' is really hard. I've got one so far.
Fec gave them about fifty that were better than what 'the judges' chose. At this point, I'm pretty sure he only won last week because he used his alias 'Jeff Martin' and they didn't know who he was.
Next week, I shall submit incognito. I feel you quaking with fear Rickard.
Ah, subterfuge. Brilliant.
Wow. I liked your site. But a WoW reference? You are now, without a doubt, my FAVORITE hedgie. No doubt.
I look forward to more posts about WoW. What are your markets like in WoW? Were you hurt by the Golden Pearl market as well? Or did you see that coming?
I'm the only hedge fund manager in the WoW space. I see a lot of volatility, which is how Alpha miners like me make money.
Thanks for reading, Jim.
Are you playing dumb, are you simply naive enough to think you're the only hedge fund manager in WoW?
Also, "wow, you see volatility and that's how you make money?!?!"---gee, there's a shocker. C'mon. Any noob could tell you that. And that wasn't even my question. I wanted to know about the Golden Pearls and the Great Post-BC Sell Off.
Also, Horde or Alliance? I originally thought Horde for sure... but such a lackluster response made me question if you're not just another Alliance.
Oh Jesus!
Come on!
The "now he has a national blog" one was the winner.
Clearly.
"Hedge Fund Manager" is a new WoW class and I'm the only one. That's a fact, Jim. I'm an Orc Hedge Fund Manager.
You seem not to understand that the securities laws still apply to the virtual world. I'll have the SEC and CFTC all over my ass if I start broadcasting my commodities mining/trading strategies.
You trying to get me to blow my private offering exemption, Jim?
