you can email your caption ideas here: Futilepodcast@gmail.com

 in the subject say Futile contest or something to that effect.  Include your caption (you may write as many as you like) and your mailing address and I’ll go through my box of watched DVDs and find some true gem to send your way!

 

thanks for listening!
