[Updated] Caption Contest: Elvis Costello Ticket Giveaway!

Posted by D Patrick Rodgers on Mon, Jun 15, 2009 at 10:22 AM

So Elvis is putting in some serious TN time this week. We already have a recap of his Bonnaroo performance for you kickin' around somewhere in our drug-addled, sun-baked brains (as soon as we access that, the Spin will let you know). Plus, today at 3 p.m. he's doing that interview at CoMu we told you about. Well, hold onto your felt fedoras, because we just got word that two pair of tickets to Costello's show at the Ryman tomorrow evening are ours to give away.

Same rules as usual apply. Post your caption in the comments, and be sure to include your email address in the appropriate field. We're going to be sticklers this time: No email, no tickets. We'll pick our two winners at noon tomorrow (June 16), and you will be contacted regarding how to claim your prize. Oh, and you're welcome.

Our winners have been selected. Thanks for playing.

All Gerald Giraffe and Lenny Lion ever wanted was to fit in with all of the "cool" zoo animals.

Budget cuts at the Nashville Zoo force most zoo displays to convert to cheaper, animatronic animals, shown here.
Fortunately, this has caused an increase in foot traffic at the zoo since installing voice chips that sing songs from the film "Madagascar".

Beautiful smile - Sunday pm - m4m (Zoo)

I was making eyes at you all afternoon.  By the meerkats you were posing behind the lion
cutout (so silly), and I sneaked into the picture.  God I wish that had been my camera.  I think you are married, but if you are
interested let me know.  No strings
attached.

After confiscating 500 psilocybin-laced peanut butter cups en route to Bonnaroo, Murfreesboro police headed straight for the Nashville Zoo. "Immediate disposal of the peanut butter cups was critical to public safety," said a police spokesman Thursday. Images of animals engaging in bizarre behavior surfaced over the weekend, drawing sharp criticism from local animal activists.

later, due to spiraling maintenance costs and several unprofitable seasons, a shopping mall would replace the much-loved theme park, much to the dismay of narnian locals.
