Create-a-cap: For Magic's next trick, watch that meal disappear

By J.E. Skeets

Hall of Famer Magic Johnson waves his hand, says a few magic words and ... POOF! Two Patrick Ewings! Ta-da! Best caption/conversation of these three at the Bunn/Gowdy Awards Dinner in Springfield, Massachusetts wins Gob Bluth's Aztec tomb. Good luck.


After the jump, your 2008-09 Oklahoma Thunder starting line-up.


Winner, nelson a:
Bennett: OK, kids, now sing the song.
Kid: But you said only if we wanted to, Mr. Bennett.
Bennett: I said sing!
Kid: But we're already wearing these crappy shirts ...
Bennett: SING!!!!
Kids: (weeping) Thundercats are on t-t-the move ... Thu-Thundercats are loose ...

Runner-up, dai_kun:
"Honey, I Shrank The Team!" proved to be Disney's worst movie idea yet, despite the outstanding acting effort of Rick Moranis Jr. (far right, front)

    Magic: "Seeing as how you're going to be a Knick now, I've decided to come out of retirement so I can whoop you up and down the court like I used to do to your father."
    Both Ewings: "....."

    As he converses with the Ewings, little does Magic Johnson know that evil mastermind Chuck Daley is leering at him... scheming... planning... constipating...

    MAGIC: Here's how you work it, Junior. Hand me that napkin there. I'm gonna wrap up some of these free dinner rolls, save 'em for later. You know they bring more, for free?
    PAT SR.: Listen to the man, son. He speaks wisdom.
    MAGIC: Whoa, whoa, whoa, Junior! There's still plenty of coffee left in that cup. Now you take that home, throw it in a pot, add some broth, a potato. Baby, you've got a stew going.

    Magic: "Look, kid. I never was on the Knicks. I was on the Lakers, so I can't give you any advice on dealing with failing franchises."
    Ewing Sr.: (smiling knowingly) "Tell him what I told you, son."
    Ewing Jr.: "What about 'The Magic Hour'?"
    Ewing Sr.: "Attaboy."
