Caption Battle: Sworn Enemies...

"It's that time again?"
"To carve duel weapons out of our boat oars?"
"To defeat Cao Cao at the Red Cliffs?"
"No... it's time for this week's caption battle!"

In third place, because ironic readings are wonderful things: darknessslayer!

I would like to thank eHarmony for this perfect match.

In second place, striking my weakness for good Avatar references: Aceburner!

Akihiko: My first girlfriend turned into the moon.
Teddy: That's rough, buddy.

And in the coveted first place, with both a message (kinda) and a joke... Kensuke Ryumura!

Akihiko used to have a girlfriend, but now he smokes pot and hangs with a teddy bear.
Live Above the Influence.

Really, really good week, guys. I was extremely happy at how many good captions actually came out this week. Thanks!

Haruko: Nothing says cool, moody pop star like this pose.

In second place, probably my personal favourite of the week: ThePockyGirl!

Haruko: I'm a little teapot, short and stout... here is my handle and here is my knife.

But first, last week's winners:

In third place, because everyone loves a dictionary entry: lazyweird1!

Moeness: Verb., To be adorable to the point of catastrophe.

In second place with what I believe to be ironically funny: kugen!

She's the sunshine in his life.

And in the coveted first place, with all of two words... Allamorph!

Job well done.

But first, last week's winners:

In third place just because: TimeChaser!

Dojima: "Talk to the hand."
Robin: "You're doing it wrong..."

In second place, because doctor exams are always funny: the real yojimbo!

Just goes to show that physicals are equally uncomfortable for both doctors and patients.

And in the coveted first place, because let's face it, we've all been there... Blue-Eyes Girl!

Robin & Doujima: Oh God, another Caramelldansen imitation...

Props to those of you who took up this past week's rather challenging... uh... challenge... thing. Ahem... moving on!

But first, last week's winners:

In third place, playing the game short and sweetly: sweetdevil!

Facepalm, the Valentine's edition.

In second place, because I enjoy wordplay: Calaya!

She said she'd give him the finger, he took her whole hand!

And in the coveted first place, because spite is just plain funny... Aceburner!

The interesting thing is that Miroku caught that hand mid-slap. Who's the ninja now?

Not a bad showing this week. Not bad at all... on to this week!

So this week's patronage comes courtesy of xaos, and features the series Witch Hunter Robin. Girl with the tongue is Dojima; girl with the hair is Robin. Have at it:
