Many great entries here, and a number made me laugh. But there were some that particularly struck me. Two favorites: **Elmer J. Fudd:** : “That’s not a looking glass, Alice.” **Knowed Out:** “The dangers of static cling.” But the prize has to go to **Running Coach** for this one: **Running Coach:** “Customers frantically tried to hide as the Snuggle Bear rampaged through the laundromat, leaving stained clothes in it’s wake.” The absurdity of a cuddly detergent mascot going on a rampage in the laundromat is just so delightfully warped, that I had to give this one top spot. Well done, **Coach**. Take it away! ---
