Sacha Baron Cohen, filmstar of "Borat", has selected another Madison, Wisconsin contestant as the winner of the Caption Contest on the www.FunnyPhotosContest.com website. As Judge of the site's contest, Baron Cohen, awarded the prize, for the March contest, to Christopher Nanstad's entry, "Wait…Hold it! If we are all counting, who's gonna hide?"
In an email Baron Cohen sent to me, he wrote in keeping with his famous characters, Borat, Ali G, and Bruno,
"Hi,

The other Madison winner whom Baron Cohen picked for the website's Caption Contest in January was Doug Moe, a local newspaper columnist.
To add to this interesting coincidence the photographer, who submitted the snapshot for the recent March Photo Caption Contest, lives only one block away from the creator of the winning caption. Of course, when choosing the winner, Sacha Baron Cohen had no way of knowing about this close connection.
After retiring, as a computer trainer, from the University of Wisconsin-Madison's Division of Information Technology, creating a website seemed like a perfect hobby for my retirement.
Since last June, when I received 24 photos from friends in the Madison, Wiscosin area for the first contest, I have received over 900 hundred fascinating photos and have attracted many wonderful and loyal followers throughout the U.S. and from many countries around the world.
Little did I ever dream that my website would create so much fun and excitement in my life.
