finally & in the first place it was the back page cartoon caption contest motivated th borrowing in the first place
because I v m like th winner contest 253:
"In the end, Ed, most of us are carried along by our delusions."
R: who in pic carried by delusion? I say: both Ed and the speaker who is incl himslf as one of the most of us, his horse too, who knows, riding that saddle probably requires delusions too. R: who is not deluded? I say: a possible few, not here with these guys, not pictured, somebody else.

+and I like the one in semifinals contest 255:
"I gather you both feel you're being manipulated."
"O.K., now do a tragedy." that's my fvr & I think of Bergson saying to do a comedy have actors sit down (body in to it). here they were standing, th puppets, top of chairs, expansive. so a show tune or so! and I like when the counselor can be talking both to the people down behind th chairs but also to th puppets the little people standing on the backs of the chairs. and K says he's caught up in it, for the moment.
"You need an agent, not a counsellor."

+and th one up for captioning, wh I've seen the seminfinals & is now having votes counted so captions now shown here, will add link later, relay here now fr memory, and I liked contest 257
~ "At least he swims like a duck."
ducklings trailing parents ducks talking about th one w human face glasses. so rife w poss idioms like that one takes adv of ('if it walks like a duck, talks like a') or cld hv done sth w 'ducks in a row' esp wrt the glasses, like he just got them, so now finally the parent duck could be relieved that the nearsighted one can see and so she can keep all her ducklings in a row. or also sth w duck duck goose. but I d n think of and am very impressed, like goes a diff direction, a pun less ready-to-mind, and this one shld win, maybe genius:
"You should see his wing tips."
