Caption Contest #15 winner
The entry for Caption Contest #15 has been judged and, as anticipated, Michael Pealow has walked away with the title of “winner.” In addition to several coffees of dubious quality, Michael now has the option to collect a set of lovely fridge magnets that might remind you a little of a certain tourism department’s ubiquitous slogon. He also earns a few brownie points for adding a link to the definition of pigsticking, which will make more sense if you’ve seen the photo or read his winning caption.
To collect his prize (should he dare), Micheal has the option to arrange delivery in one of the following ways:
a) Baby stroller driven by Mark
b) Dog team driven by Mike Grieco
c) Mike Grieco driven by Yukon MP Larry Bagnell
d) Canada Post
The image for Caption Contest #16 will be posted within a couple of days.
Oh, and while we maybe have your attention…. another reminder that the final segment of Smells Like Yukon’s second season is scheduled to air tomorrow morning at about 7:15 a.m. And it’s going to be really, really good. Unless it’s bad, which is certainly another possibility.

Woohoo! A three-peat!
While I’m sure that delivery option a) is the most likely, I’d really like to see b). Can the amazing folks at Smells Like Yukon pull that off?

Excellent choice.
Now, please don’t let the complex numbering system confuse you: this next part is NOT another multiple choice section.
As long as you’re willing to 1) phone Mike Grieco and 2) wait for the day when the Yukon landscape is all snowy white (could be as soon as Friday), then we can certainly pull off your preferred delivery option B.
If you’d rather receive your magnets on a more guaranteed delivery schedule, we suggest you choose again.

These contests always seem to come with some sort of a catch. How does this one work? I phone Mike Grieco and then he tries to sell me a time share at a dog kennel? No thanks.
Assuming there are no catches, I’ll go with option a).
And NO, I will not give you my credit card number.

Hey, if you don’t want to phone Mike Grieco, that’s your hang-up–and not some cheap ploy to weasel out of our obligation.
However, since you have elected to go with Option A, there actually IS a “catch”–and his name is Mark. (At least that’s the lie Mark’s wife uses to describe him whenever she wants him to do something, like take out the garbage or look after her baby.)
His time is pretty flexible these days–looks like he’ll probably be hanging out in a Splashpark–so all you have to do is name the time (and, if necessary, an alternate downtown location) to arrange the handoff.
If you go with Rotary Park, Mark will be the one with burrito sauce in his beard.

Hmmm….those ARE good burritos….
And I HAVE been meaning to visit the water park now that it’s open…
Alright. If the weather is good, I’ll be there on Friday around 11:00 am. I will be accompanied by a child. (My backup.)
The secret verification question (which isn’t so secret anymore) will be “What’s that smell?”
The secret verification response will be “Burrito”.

Mark agrees to your terms. He wishes, however, to change the secret verification response to “jalapeno.” If he actually pronounces the “j”, you’ll know it’s him. If you want to be extra cautious, look for the burrito sauce in his beard… and on his shirt… and possibly on his shoes. Seriously.

Agreed. Not only will I listen for the secret verification response, I will look for the secret sauce.
