For new members they are in the categories of Ripper related, Non-ripper related and a caption about our esteemed proprietor, philanthropist and all round good guy, Howard Brown.

[How Brown]

After being mishandled by Met Police and wrongly detained on suspicion of being the Whitechapel Murder.., famous artist Jacob Apestein is escorted home.

[How Brown]

"Don't utter a word...don't make a sound...thats a, er,thats umm.. a gun pointed at your back,Monkeyman....now get in the car !"

[How Brown]

" So...uhh...whats the plan again there, Netley ? I get one in the coach...offer her some laudanum and grapes...talk a little...wait until she nods out...and then I do what ?"

"I'm telling ya, there better be some bananas in this cab, or there's gonna be some serious eye gouging going on for this....."

Cheers,
Adam. :happy:

[How Brown]

Reminiscing his gut wrenching experience as a definitely ascertained suspect by C.I.D. with representatives from The Times in 1930, an aging Aaron Kosmonkey opens the door on the actual Black Maria he was caged in to show the reporters where he once went definitely ascertainably apeshit and bit Sir Robert right on his Anderson for applying cuffs a little too indelicately.....

Cheers,

The annual contest to 'Ape How Brown' was a success and the look-alike winner was whisked off to Hollywood in a chauffeur driven car.

[Nemo]

Detective : "Is this him George?"
Hutchinson : "No, he was taller than that..."


Monkey: "I am here to trace my long lost cousin. He was shipwrecked somewhere near Hartlepool..."

[Robert Linford]

Following this disappointing screen test, Universal chiefs decide to re-shoot "King Kong" using stop motion models.

[Caroline Morris]

"Capital, Holmes", ejaculated Dr. Watson, with admiration. "When you said over breakfast that a solution to the Jack the Ripper case was close at hand, I little imagined that you had ordered the 'missing link' to be delivered personally by hansom".

"No, my dear Watson", sighed the great detective, in quiet exasperation. "We do not have here the missing link to close that shocking case. But mark my words, this little fellow will one day explain the even more perplexing mystery of Howard Brown".

[Robert Linford]

"Amazing, Holmes! I have heard you say that Brown is the Napoleon Bonoboparte of crime, and that his intelligence is - "

"Elementary, my dear Watson."

[tel]

Just get in the car Mr Brown, bribing a caption judge is a serious matter.

[Caroline Morris]

Just get in the car Mr Brown, bribing a caption judge is a serious matter.

I wouldn't advise it. Last time he spent the whole journey to the cop shop playing with himself and pelting passers-by with his own poo.

Oh sorry, my mistake. That was Mr Brown's favourite cousin, Kosmonkey, who has since been safely caged in Regent's Park.

If I was getting peanuts it would be a pay rise.
