It’s even hotter than normal for August here in central Arkansas (as the last post so deftly explains), so I thought this week’s caption contest could have something to do with extreme heat. I chose a picture of firefighters watching a fire tornado. You get to write a caption explaining how this happened, or what the people are thinking, or what the cameraman is looking at instead of the fire tornado, or make up a story that’s somehow related to what’s happening in the photo. Use your imagination… see if you can surprise me… 🙂

It could only get so hot here in Arkansas before such things became inevitable…
Beppo
Firefighter: “A tornado made of fire?!? Inconceivable!”
Other firefighter: “You keep using that word… I do not think it means what you think it means…”
MangoMan
I TOLD him not to keep badmouthing God that way!

See Bob, I TOLD you that was a bad idea.

I love Arkansas; You find a few rednecks, add excessive amounts of alcohol, Supply them with guns, gas tanks, and an unlimited supply fuel, And you get art.

In a misguided attempt to fight fire with fire, tanker planes dropped gasoline instead of water on this wildfire.

Go back to the shadow you pesky balrog of Morgoth.

Firefighter: “Someone should probably do something about that…”
Other firefighter: “Yeah…”
Thomas Wayne
Firefighter: “Hey, cameraman, what are you looking at?”

This is what happens when you ask what else could go wrong today.

Fire + Tornado = the end of Kansas.

Firefighter: “I don’t think this was covered in the training manual…”
Beppo
Firefighter: “I don’t know what that is, but I’m a’gin it!”
Mr. Destructo
That’s just something I’ve been playing around with… Wait’ll you see my real plan! MUWAHAHAHA!

It’s because of global warming! Everyone should donate lots of money to me so I can fix it!
Thomas Wayne
I told Mango-Man he shouldn’t light farts after eating at Taco Bell 3 times in a row! Now look what he done did!

Obama in Firefighter’s suit tells the cameraman–“It’s Bush’s fault.”
Crappo the Clown
Fire tornadoes give me gas…
Thomas Wayne
“Who’s got the fire tornado extinguisher?”
Thomas Wayne
Firefighter: “That’s something you don’t see every day…”
Other firefighter: “And I hope I never see one again!”
Thomas Wayne
“Is it 2012 already?”

The Not Real Donald Trump
This is all Biden’s fault! The Dems are trying to destroy America with their global warming nonsense! If I was president, this wouldn’t be allowed to happen!
(I don’t really have a plan to solve this, but politics is like wrestling — you just tell people who the good guys are and who the bad guys are. Biden = bad. Me = the greatest ever. Sometimes blue collar men come up to me, big, strong, hard-working people, and they have a tear in their eye, and they say they’ve never seen a president like me, who fights so hard for ‘Merica. I’ll keep fighting hard, too! I’ll never give up trying to reclaim the 2020 election that was rigged and stolen. NEVER! I will mention it every day until someone does something about it. Did I tell you about the irrefutable evidence we have? We’re working on it, and it should be released in two days. I realize I was still president when I made those claims, and some say I should’ve actually done something if I really believed all that, but I was so busy putting those Dems in their place! I call them names — that’ll show ’em! And I’ll keep fundraising to MAGA. You keep sending me your extra money. Sure, I’m one of the richest men in the world — I wouldn’t say it if it wasn’t true — but I still need your money. Can’t have too much money! Besides, you don’t get rich from spending your own money! My dad taught me that. Always get other people to pay for stuff. Remember, I do all this for you. Also remember to keep sending me money!!!)
