“Charlotte, I will rook you!”

Carolyn Hudson, Columbia, S.C.

“I conquer you in the name of Spain.”

Mark Shaw, Huntersville

Thanks for all the great captions this week. Here are a few more entries that caught our eye:

“Sir Cintra has won this joust.”

“I’m the fare maiden here.”

“It’s my way or the highway.”

“If you want to end congestion, cough it up.”

“Hassling my passel of vassals from the castle is taking a toll on me.”

“This is going to put a chink in ye ole armor.”

“Rich to the right, poor to the left.”

“And therefore never send to know for whom the road tolls; it tolls for thee!”

And now for something completely different (from those who have apparently seen the movie . . .)

“None shall pass!

“Now go away or I shall toll you a second time!”

“I toll in your general direction!”

“I blow my nose at you, you anti-toll pig dogs!”

“I don’t want to talk to you no more, you empty-headed animal food trough wipers!”

Feel free to join a discussion about the winner, add more captions of your own, or let us know your favorites in the 'Comments' section below (using your Facebook account). Please join us again Monday, Jan. 25, for a new cartoon caption challenge. – Kevin Siers
