The winner of the Caption This! Liberty U films contest is . . .

“Not Too Old Yeller”
Set in ancient times, 10,000 years ago, this touching and emotional story follows the relationship between a stone age boy and the gentle velociraptor who mysteriously and stubbornly insists on interacting with the boy’s family. Though reluctant to embrace the beast at first, the young boy, Uriah, finds the spunky therapod an intelligent partner in the quest for food and in the never ending task of protecting the vulnerable cave family. Together, they make a formidable team. But all is threatened when the dark specter of sin changes changes the dynamics of animal and human interaction.
Starring: Ken Ham as both the voice of god and Burly, the cave mouse.
Ray Comfort as the voice of Zebulon, the velociraptor
Benny Hinn as the shaman sorcerer
And making his screen film debut, this little dude as Uriah:
This movie is rated little “s” for sin. Not really bad sins though, mostly eating shellfish and mixing different kinds of fabric, In the end God’s message is more powerful than the witness of such abominations.

Congratulations, Mike Scott! Please help yourself to a prize from Dan’s Bookshelf and email me your choice and snail-mail address.

And thanks to our judge, Roanoke Times reporter Neil Harvey.

Stay tuned for our next, wide-open, graffiti-inviting contest that launches at noon!

    Thanks for reading!

    But seriously, nobody could ever top Fred Gibson’s original Old Yeller. The first book that made me cry and want try squirrel gravy. I still get misty eyed when I think about what happened to dog…sniff.

    What was the name of the Bill Murray movie, where he was in the Army? In the movie he asks, “How many cried when Old Yeller died.” :-)

    “What was the name of the Bill Murray movie, where he was in the Army?”

    ‘Stripes.’

    It was pretty funny when I was 19.

  12. Debbie | May 13, 2011 at 12:10 pm

    Thanks, Dan. It’s been years since I saw it, but whenever I see anything about Old Yeller, I think of that movie.

  13. Lori | May 13, 2011 at 12:38 pm

    Congrats, Mike!!

  14. DaveH | May 13, 2011 at 2:41 pm

    Good one!

    Congrats, Mike!!

  15. dave | May 13, 2011 at 3:49 pm

    Way to go Mike! Excellent light touch with the humor.

  16. Suzie | May 13, 2011 at 6:31 pm

    Looks like I shamed them into staying away from the hateful choices. After we got people to not participate. “Winning” all the way around, I guess.

  17. Dan Casey | May 13, 2011 at 7:06 pm

    ” ‘Winning’ all the way around, I guess.”

    Would it be insulting to call Suzie the Charlie Sheen of this blog?

  18. gdad | May 13, 2011 at 9:35 pm

    #16 We all know you had nothing to do with it, suzie.

  19. Suzie | May 14, 2011 at 6:49 am

    I am disappointed and disgusted Morris Fleisher hasn’t apologized for his hateful entry, though. His remarks were hurtful to a very good group of people.

  20. dave | May 14, 2011 at 3:10 pm

    Suzie@6:49

    Here . I fixed that post for ya. “I am disappointing. I’m glad Morris Fleisher hasn’t apologized though because his entries were hilarious
    and harmed no one. I apologize to Morris for my hateful remarks” There
    doesn’t that sound better!

    Re: #16

    LOL

    Egotistic assumptions reveal a great deal about a persons character.

    “Would it be insulting to call Suzie the Charlie Sheen of this blog?”

    ———-

    Could be that such an slur is insulting.

    If Charlie Sheen happens to find out, he might sue you.
