Bonjour, amis. Just a reminder -- you've got a little more than half a day left to participate in this week's Caption This contest. To enter, leave a caption for the above picture on the original post by 11:59 PM EST tonight!

Eligible winners (U.S. or non-Quebec Canadian residents above 13) will receive a 60-day gamecard for first place, and a Legendary Thread or a Less QQ More Pew Pew t-shirt from J!NX is available to the runner-up. Remember to read the official rules for the contest here. The voting poll for the winner will be available Tuesday morning, so you can vote while "enjoying" weekly maintenance. Have fun!

A month until the election, and over a month until Wrath ... what can we do to pass the time, other than play Oblivion yet again? How about a Caption This! contest?

The last contest, featuring the running of the zombies, was won in a landslide by Roahne, with "Red rover, red rover, send -- OH MY GOD!" Sladedarkonis won the runner-up prize with "Jeez, multi-boxing has gotten really out of hand."

Here's how the story goes: I post a picture during Tuesday maintenance. You write a humorous caption for this picture by Friday, October 10 at 11:59 PM EST. It could be a funny description of the situation or a quote that you imagine the characters in the screenshot saying. Examples of previous winners can be found here, here and here. Leave your captions in a comment on this post, and keep it clean -- if Blizzard would warn you for saying it in-game, don't enter it in the contest. During the weekend, I e-mail the post to our list, members of the WoW Insider team respond with their favorites, and ten (or so) of those favorites will be chosen for the final vote. On Tuesday morning, we put the top choices up for a public vote in a new post. Voting ends Wednesday, October 15 at 11:59 PM EST. After the voting, we notify the winners. If they respond to our e-mail and confirm that they're eligible to win, we mail out their prizes.

Let's show the people our fabulous prizes! First place winner gets a 60-day game card, worth approximately $30. And the second-place winner will get his choice of a Legendary Thread or Less QQ More Pew Pew t-shirt from J!NX, worth about $20.

However, to win you have to be eligible -- and to be eligible, you have to be a U.S. or non-Quebec Canadian resident at least 13 years of age. Sorry, EU, Oceanic and other readers, but legal restrictions make it impossible to include everyone. The official rules for the contest can be found here. Read them or get nerfed!

Remember, entrants must be U.S. or non-Quebec Canadians at least 13 years old. If you'd like to check out the contest's official rules, they can be found here. Happy voting!

Again, we have a couple of entries that don't fit into our polling software. Here they are! You can vote for them under "Syll's poem" and "Debricashi's lawsuit" above.

When the Flesh-Elbowed Sneetches had frankfurter roasts,
or picnics or parties or marshmallow toasts,
they never invited the Plain-Elbowed Sneetches.
Left them out cold in the dark of the beaches.
Kept them away; never let them come near,
and that's how they treated them year after year. -- Syll

"Good afternoon, gentlemen. I represent the citizens of Lordaeron you see behind me. I am here to inform you that we will be bringing a class action suit against you for malpractice regarding treatment of plague victims. Expect the documents in your office by Monday." -- Debricashi

Is Wrath out yet? Is Wrath out yet? It's not? Well, here's another Caption This! contest to fill in your lonely hours.

First off, congratulations to the winners of the last contest: thebmf with "None of the Tallstriders had the heart to tell the orc he was adopted," and runner-up Kakura with "Grog never wanted to be a peon. Grog always wanted to be... a lumberjack!"

It's been one week since we opened our most recent Caption This! contest to entries. We've allowed them to age to perfection over the weekend, and they're now ripe enough for you to pick the winner! Members of the WoW Insider staff (actually, just me this time because I figured everyone was super-busy with all the new info) have chosen their favorite captions from the bunch. Now you get to decide who goes home with a 60-day game card, an Eastvale Logging Camp or a Camp Taurajo ringer shirt from J!NX, or nothing but an overbearing feeling of failure. Just pick the best caption for the above picture. Voting closes tomorrow, Wednesday, September 17 t 11:59 PM EST, and winners will be informed shortly afterward by e-mail.

Once again, we have an entry that's too long for the poll form. Here's Gideon Wells' take on the picture, available as the last option in the poll:

"The more Gron'gok thought about it things just weren't adding up about this new dark lord who filled the void left by Illidan's demise.

The pink ceremonial robes? Gron'gok was an open minded Fel Orc.

The almighty world shattering fel beast promised that turned out to be a pink bird? Sure, that tauren they tortured said back in Mulgore that some of his kind feared a similar beast. Still, the way he seemed to be trying not to snicker just aggravated that nagging feeling.

Now the mandatory eight hour Sex in the City marathons every Tuesday? No, that was just wrong. It seemed to Gron'gok that the new dark lord might actually be a Blood Elf in disguise."

Remember, entrants must be U.S. or non-Quebec Canadians at least 13 years old. If you'd like to peruse the contest's official rules, they can be found here. Happy voting!

Members of the WoW Insider staff have chosen their favorite captions from the bunch, and I've added in some of the highest-rated captions with the comment system. All in all, we ended up with a baker's dozen of quotes. Now you get to decide who goes home with a 60-day game card, a choice of one of seven World of Warcraft action figures as detailed in the original post, or nothing but a deep sense of inadequacy.

NOTE: Holyground and Nectarofgods had great entries that unfortunately did not fit into the poll. So I'm putting them here instead, and you can vote for them below:

Holyground:

Six little maids from school are we,
Pert as a school-girl well can be,
Filled to the brim with girlish glee,
Six little maids from school!

Six little maids who, all unwary,
Come from a ladies' seminary,
Freed from its genius tutelary -
Six little maids from school!

Nectarofgods:

Warlock: You know, I really thought those mages up in fancy Stormwind Keep would have the Burning Legion under control by now...

Priest: Yeah, King Llane must be pretty busy to let so many through the gates. Maybe we should warn someone?

Warlock: What are they gonna do...bite our ankles and cast spells at our knees?!?!

Priest: Right. I'll throw a piece of cheese and a cheap engineering pattern on the ground to distract them for now while you Seed of Corruption.
