Hey, if you like Dora the Explorer, even if you’re a grown-up and even if you’re a guy, we say: To heck with the haters! Do your thing, man!

Of course, that doesn’t mean the FYI Caption Contest entrants will necessarily be kind to you, but that’s not one of the rules. The only rule is to be funny. So dude, you keep diggin’ Dora, and everyone else, send those captions to starfyi@gmail.com. Put “9/2 caption contest” in the subject line, and be sure to include your name, city and phone number.

Deadline for entries is 11:59 p.m. Friday. The winner scores a $25 gift card.

Look for the winner and runners-up next Friday.
