Entry #0: Elly Fox "Capy Paradise"
My FaceBook friend, Elly Fox, made this great photo of me standing with her and her boyfriend Dim Dim Dim (weird name but sometimes you just can’t explain humans).
I really like that photo. It makes me think I could be with all of my friends. Wouldn’t that be great? Well, maybe I can’t do it in real life but I can do it in Photoshop. So I am making my first GiantHamster.com Contest. Let me explain the rules.
==========================================================
And the Winners Are:
- Entry #40: Caplin & Dalai Lama, Angelica Clemmer
- Entry #9: Holding Up the Monument, Issac
- Entry #11: Kissing with a Walrus, Maude Perreault
I need for the winners to send me their physical addresses in an email so I can send them their prizes.
If you ask me, everyone was a winner, even those that didn’t enter, because the entries were all so cute, inventive and entertaining. I really loved seeing me in all those different places with all those different people! Thanks everyone!
1st, 2nd and 3rd all get the same prize, a mug from my CafePress shop. Here’s what it looks like.
Prize Mug!

I like the “lunch w/Jun” & whatever are those green things in your plate Caplin?
I did not know you drank….looks like whiskey!
These are sooooo funny….I especially like the fellow sitting on the couch with Caplin explaininf something and Caplin listening intently….tooo funny…
I also like the fellow sitting down at the kitchen table with Caplin…and a picture of a Capybara on the fridge!

So far, my favorites are 3 and 4. But I like 11 too.

So you like the photo, I am glad.
>>whatever are those green things in your plate Caplin?
That is Avocado, and the drink is Roasted barley tea.
It is very healthy. ：）
These are hilarious so far!
Oh GOOD! Jun for a second there I thought you were trying to get Caplin drunk!!!
(Not) surprisingly, Rezoner’s entry looks the most realistic… 🙂
I’m sooooooo jealous of him…
i like the ones with linda in the rocking chair and linda with her horse and this “thing” on the cart with her. she must have been smoking “the stuff” before these pics were shot. go linda!!!!!
I LOVE #8!
OMG! They are ALL so beautiful!!!
I can’t choose! I absolutely love all of them!!!
New favorite…the popsicles! #31!
Oh, a lot of them are very, very good!!!
Where is the poll?
Caplin certainly would like #31 the most…
#10 rocks! Cappy, your fans are certainly very creative!
I vote for Lunch with Caplin —
I love the number #11 pic, its pretty cool!
I like #3 the best and #17 is really cute!
As far as I am concerned…Every one of these pictures is a First Place Winner! All of them too funny and soooo creative! BRAVO to all that participated.. WELL DONE!!!
Congratulations to all. They are all wonderful–choosing three was very difficult. I’m sure Caplin loves them all.
#0!!!
I had at least 12 on my VERY short list! The people are so amazingly creative, I almost feel ashamed for my real picture. Viva Capybara!
Hi Capy! This is Shari K. from California, your rodent-loving Facebook friend and “once & future” mama of pet rattums! 🙂
Since there were sooooo many entries, and since sooooo many of them were amazing, I have to apologize that I could not narrow it down to just one. Is it OK if I vote on TWO faves? I actually would like to vote on four of ’em, but I figure that’s asking too much. *blush* So, here are my 2 votes for the winner:
Entry #15: “Jun World’s Largest Rodent”
Entry #11: “Maude Perreault with me and a walrus at the Quebec Aquarium”
This contest is incredibly hard to vote for. Number 8 was very creative.
The Last Supper and the Dali Lama were also good. And the capycordian band.
#17
Caplin sure gets around. I would have liked to have sat in on his conversation with the Dalai Lama.
Congrats to the winners! Great show everyone, so much fun!
Thank you all guys for voting for me! 🙂 gongrats to everyone the competition was really fierce!
I got my mug today! I love it. Thanks everyone who voted for me. Capybaras are my favorite animal!!!!!!!!
Congratulations to all. They are all wonderful–choosing three was very difficult. I’m sure Caplin loves them all. (Approved 2010/04/25)
