For the first time since I started doing the Elvis Caption Contest, we have no winner.  In fact, there were no submissions.  Apparently, this publicity still from the movie The Trouble with Girls stumped everybody.  I thought I'd give it a try, too, but this one is really tough.  The photo for the next Caption Contest will go back to Elvis in real life situations. No more staged images in period costumes with props.

Several readers submitted the same caption for this picture, and "Taking Care of Business" certainly works.  However, frequent contest winner Jean Pyle sent in one that is cruder, but also funnier, and we'll go with that.

Shake it, baby, shake it

Jean Pyle has done it again, but this may be the best caption she has ever come up with.  As usual, she has re-worked the lyrics of an Elvis song to fit the picture.  This one is from "I'll Be Home for Christmas."

"I won't be home for Christmas.
You can't count on me.
Here are a couple of reasons,
Beside my Christmas tree."

Congratulations to reader Rick Janczac for the winning caption.  A new contest will be posted next week.week.

Please step back , sir.  Mr Presley doesn't need any help trying on new pants.

Repeat winner Jean Pyle likes to revise Elvis song lyrics slightly to fit the Caption Contest pictures.  Here is her latest.

"Ghouls rush in, when intruders dare to tread."

Congratulations to Betsy Harris for the winning caption.  There will be a new contest next week.

Hey, ditch that guitar and get me some towels.

Regular contributor Laura Harrison has come up with another winner.

A lot of previous winners were back again this time, but Phillip Jolly takes the prize for lucky contest # 13.  Here are the runners up:

John Migacz (winner contest #2)       "Catch and release?  Like Hell!"

Laura Harrison (winner contest #8)   "My girl, my girl... Stay off my blue suede shoes."

Jean Pyle (winner contest #10)         "It ain't no big thing.  Butt--It's growing."

And, the winner is...

Elvis tries out a new way to pick up girls.

We have our first two-time winner.  Jean Plye, who won with a poem caption a month ago, has done it again.  Thanks, Jean.  Very clever.

When a child claiming to be Elvis' son showed up, Elvis wrote this on the return envelope:

"Return to Sender.
This child's unknown.
No such offspring.
No boy I own."

Reader Lydia Gallion is this winner this time with the caption below.  There will be another contest next week.

Moments later, Elvis was doing the Jailhouse Rock.

This is a first.  Reader Jean Pyle didn't just send a caption; she sent a poem.  Congratulations and thanks, Jean.  Another Caption Contest next week.

"I'm all right, Mama
I'll be all right you'll see.
Driving off a bridge,
Is better than hitting a tree"

This week we have an honorable mention.  Although the intent of the contest is to come up with a hunorous caption, reader Anna Ferroni  provided one that was so historically accurate, it deserves posting here, too.
