Here are the top ten suggested captions for the below photo... Please vote for your favourite! You are allowed to vote for three choices.



1. This is proof that brick searchers really do not make a profit.

2. Let's go to the casino, they said… What's the worst that can happen, they said…

3. Avoid disappointment… Book your 2008 CNA hotel room early!

4. That's the last time I agree to meet Arthur behind the hotel and ask to see his inserts!

5. Brent, I promise I will never side with rachelsprivates over you again.  Will you now let me sleep inside?

6. Early this morning, an Alberta man's body was found in the back lot of a Niagara Falls hotel. Preliminary examination indicates that the man expired from suffocation within a confined space for some time. Authorities believe that this death is a result of a failed attempt to enter the hotel and likely gain access into the convention taking place at the same location. The body may have been staged by a dumpster to appear like a homeless drunk.

7. The couch is PMG UNC-67 EFQ (exceptional fabric quality), but the male laying on it is well circulated.

8. You can now note the absence of frothing at the mouth and sudden onset of lethargy and persistent hallucinations of imagined bricks hiding everywhere including sofas. Our subject, Phil, is approaching the severe final stages of B.S.W.A.S. (Brick Searcher Withdrawal Addiction Syndrome). The only humane thing we could do is to put him down, with a shot of Johnny Walker for the pain, followed by an injection of an illegally-obtained synthetic derived from Bank of Canada banknote ink.

9. Plane ticket to CNA Convention: $429.00. ByinG Dringk avter DriNk for foRUM memburs $319.23. Paying for last couple drinks with right shoe: $23.25. Finding nice couch in back alley to crash on: PRICELESS

10. Police have not yet been able to identify the body of a young man found behind the Sheraton Fallsview Hotel and Convention Centre on Monday morning. Police did find, stuffed in his mouth, a blank CPMS membership card with only the name “Phil” on it. The investigation now centres on a young lady dressed in a red top, with short black leather skirt and high heels, last seen standing just outside the CNA bourse room talking to the victim.

Remember, you can choose up to three choices on this poll, not just one.

20 people have voted, yet there are only 40 votes total, meaning a bunch of people only placed one or two votes.

Look, that description is so vague; I don’t like those tiny ‘high heels’ you are dead wrong, I was likely wearing Mary-Jane jumbo wedgies in my Tough Lolita cute attire. Otherwise, my other fav is Demure dead-doll Gothic with my big Demonia kick-A…boots. Black leather mini-skirts are so not in, and it is so not me. It may be my doppelganger twin back east; she met someone named “Phil” knowing it wasn’t his real name. Johnny Walker sounds like her style but I’m more a Jack Daniels. Thanks PD for getting the $5 DF 666 for me. It’s off my next check.”

I have now voted.

I would suggest a banknote in honour of the late Tammy Faye Bakker Messner, but
A) She wasn't Canadian.
B) The ink would run terribly when subjected to the slightest amount of moisture.

I would recommend dumping or short-selling stock in MAC Cosmetics; they will likely go bankrupt by the end of the year without their biggest customer  ;)

It took me 5 minutes to decide which 3 were the best. It took me 2 seconds to input the vote and 15 seconds to load the page on a so called "high speed cable" internet that was supposed to run at 7 MBPS download speed but actually ran at 10 KBPS.  :o

That is a rare choice uncirculated photo of a very circulated brick searcher.  Well done!  How come we're not hearing from him?  ???

Now I'm really kicking myself for not witnessing some of these shananigans at the Falls! 

Oli you never told me about this partay behind the Sheridan!
