39. Since Patterico said this is a contest, and since no one else has stepped up to judge the entries, here is my ranking:

    1. Apogee #28 — excellent use of both the thumb and the facial expression in your entry.

    2. Scott Jacobs #2 & #5 — the “one in the pink” (or “one in the goo” or “one in the frown”) never gets old, and a Super Dave Osborne reference is always welcome.

    3. Jack Klompus #7 — for referencing Swank (do they still publish that mag?).

    Honorable mention to capitano for using the Urban Dictionary and Joel for making a fart joke. Excellent job all around from the contestants.
