This is always anti-climatic.

After a record-breaking run of page views, votes and WTF OMG eye rolls, the winning photo from our 2013 Oklahoma State Fair Photo Contest is...

Bench Warmers

I’d like to trade places with a bunch of different things in life. A state fair bench is not one of them. That would be awful.

Also, can someone please explain how a person can sit on a bench, have a rod wedged between their ass, and not seem to care or notice? I’m asking for a friend.

"Bench Warmers" was submitted by Bart V. and received 37% of the votes in the finals. I thought "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh" would pull off the win, but it shows what I know. Thanks, Bart V., for making us all laugh, cry and / or spend too much trying to figure out if that damn pic was photoshopped. He now wins a $250 feast for him and all his pals at Picasso Cafe in the heart of the Paseo. Broken record alert: Go to Picasso's...today...for lunch...and order the Ogle Mole special. I don't know what it is, but I guarantee the server will give you a really strange look.

I asked Bart V. a few questions about the photo. He actually answered them. Check them out or go relive the semi-final (Part 1 / Part 2) round again.

Q: Come on, that's photoshopped right? If so, well done.
