All right, when we started our monthly caption contest in January, the response was a little overwhelming… but quite funny! Thanks!!!
Last weekend, while in Albuquerque, the enclosed picture of me was taken and texted to my family and friends… (Click on pic to enlarge, if needed… ahem, if you dare)
The responses by text were such fun that it was deemed worthy of the grave, serious risk to my fragile ego to allow it to be worthy of your CaptionThis comments.
Here’s the finalists:
>> Mike Patin’s “In a sad twist to the sports doping controversies, youth ministry icon Scott Miller is showing signs of taking human growth hormones. He will be called before Congress this week.”
>> Chris Weber’s (January’s winner) Harry Potter’s sorting hat one-act play
>> Bob Rice’s “The closest D. Scott Miller will get to being a Cardinal of the Catholic Church.
>> Diana Healy’s “Aspiring to gender equality in the Red Hat Society, Scott finds himself booted from his very first meeting for forgetting his “something purple’.”
>> (Daughter) “Meghan worried that True Grit was the last straw. Her father really wanted to remake every single John Wayne movie.”
And we have a WINNER:
>> Diana’s entry last night of “Scott: How come the horsey won’t go? K-Mart employee: Sir, the ride is for kids. Please don’t make me call security again.” Congratulations, Diana! Your no-prize is winging it’s way to you!
Thanks, all! We’ll be back at this again on the first Saturday of March.

Where are the rest of the members of your posse? You know, the Village People???

“‘Hmm,’ said a small voice in his ear. ‘Difficult. Very difficult. Plenty of courage, I see. Not a bad mind either. There’s talent, oh my goodness, yes– and a nice thirst to prove yourself, now that’s interesting. … So where shall I put you?’
Scott gripped the edges of the stool and thought, Not DRE, not DRE.
‘Not DRE, eh?’ said the small voice. ‘Are you sure? You could be great, you know, it’s all here in your head, and DRE will help you on your way to greatness, no doubt about that — no? Well, if you’re sure — better be YOUTH MINISTER!’”
The ear-to-ear grin he wore betrayed the relief Scott felt at the sorting hat’s announcement.

Diocesan insurance denies requests for surgery, forcing Miller to try experimental therapy for his TMJ.

Driven crazy after years of working in the Youth Ministry field, Scott prepares to try and audition as Woody for Toy Story 4.

Next week on “Gunsmoke,” Ponderosans for the Pope applies for NFCYM collaborating membership. Tragically, after swapping hats with a drunken D. Hoss during an Albuquerque saloon brawl, Little Joe blindly rides off a cliff and is not present to speak prior to the vote. Hop Sing tries to put in a good word, but feeling snubbed by the absence of Cartwrights, federation members unleash an angry flurry of red cards.

This just in @ TMZ. After ugly, party-panicked night in Old Town, D. Scott gets cast in walk-on part for new Hollywood movie “Cowboys and Aliens.” Still uncertain which side he will represent.

Scott: How come the horsey won’t go?
K-Mart employee: Sir, the ride is for kids. Please don’t make me call
security again.

With great hat comes great responsibility
Comment by Cindi — Tuesday, February 8, 2011 @ 9:31 pm
ala O’Dwyer style… whoever says prayer first not only gets in line first for food, but they also get to wear this stylish hat. Don’t everyone jump at once now…

When great youth ministers in little red hats goes wrong… next on FOX

“Scott Miller in a little red hat… Scott Miller in a little red hat…”
If anyone has seen Tommy Boy w/ Chris Farley you will know what this tune is like (Fat Guy in a Little Coat)

After participating in a panel discussion on the future of youth ministry with the Lion, Scarecrow and the Tin Man, at the annual Munchkinland youth conference, Scott closes his eyes tightly and clicks his feet together saying, there’s no place like Baltimore, there’s no place like Baltimore!
