caption contest

caption contest, airplane crashed in a lake

Short work-week or not, I’m still going to publish a caption contest, because I’m just awesome like that.

This week’s photo features a man in a uniform staring at an airplane crashed in a lake / pond.  It’s up to you — yes, you — to figure out what happened and write a (preferably funny) explanation.  Of course, this being a site of randomness and humor, you can take it in any direction you want.  You can write from the perspective of someone not even in the picture.  Or you can write about what caused this, or what will happen later because of it.  Let your creativity soar.

caption contest, pancake tossing

For this caption contest, you’re going to have to use your imagination.  (Hopefully you still remember how to access it.)  This week’s photo features a group of people in business suits tossing pancakes in the air.  I honestly have no idea why this would be happening, but I can make something up.  I’d like to hear your ideas, too.

caption contest, couple standing in front of burning barn

Since the last post talked about wanting a flamethrower, it seems appropriate that this week’s caption contest should involve FIRE!  So here’s a picture of a couple posing for a picture in front of a burning barn.  Why?  I have no idea.  That’s up to you.  Figure out what’s going on, or what will happen, or what people are thinking, and leave a comment about it.  Have fun with it.

caption contest, sumo jockey in horse racing

It seems like we just had a caption contest, but it’s already (past) time for the next one.  This week’s strange and unusual photo features a sumo wrestler riding a race horse.  I thought jockeys were usually midgets, but I suppose anyone can do it if they try hard enough.

Anyway, explain what’s going on here, such as why this is happening, what the other riders are thinking, what the horse is thinking, what the announcers might be saying, what happens next, etc.  The only restrictions are to keep it clean and funny.
