Written By: Mr. E
By far the most popular section of EdgeCurve is the Captions Game. Thousands of captions are submitted every round by players around the world. We thought it would be fun to get to know some of the players that have either been playing for years now, or have an exceptional talent. Today, Q&A’s with the one and only, Jeff Green. Say hello to Jeff in the comments below.
Mr. E: Hello Jeff, please introduce yourself.
Jeff: The mythical Jeff Green.
Mr. E: What part of the country do you live in?
Jeff: Dallas, TX. My apologies to the rest of the nation for G.W. Bush.
Mr. E: What do you do when not playing the Captions Game?
Jeff: Walk my dog, enjoy the great Texas sunsets, screwdrivers at the pool, magic and juggling and blackjack.
Mr. E: How did you first hear about EdgeCurve’s Captions Game?

Mr. E: Lastly, you win (or are mentioned) a lot at the Captions Game, what advice can you give to all the other players that you beat so consistently?
Jeff: Enter a few captions that come to mind right away, walk away get a drink, study picture harder pay attention to the little details look at past winners syntax and most important think outside of the box, oh by the way the competition is getting much harder, there are some really funny people giving us old timers a run for our money, right Dave G?

I thank you kind sir. I really enjoy the game and it has been a welcome distraction from the real world and its problems. Knowing that I’m making people laugh is great, you should see the captions of mine that dont get picked.

I ENJOY READING YOUR CAPTIONS. OF COURSE YOU NEVER GIVE CREDIT TO THOSE WHO INSPIRED YOU AND LED YOU DOWN THE ROAD TO BORDERLINE DEVELOPMENTAL DEFICIENCY. I AM PROUD OF ALL MY KIDS, AND SINCE YOU ARE THE ONLY ONE, I GUESS THAT INCLUDES YOU TOO.
