caption contest, bicycle rider kicking someone in crowd

This week’s caption contest features a bicycle rider kicking someone in the crowd.  Well, that’s what it appears like.  He could be doing a number of other things.  It’s up to you to decide what is going on here.  So get creative — whether with a joke, a pun (if you must), a funny story, whatever.  Remember you can write from anyone’s point-of-view.  Just keep it clean and funny — that’s the only rules.  Have fun!

caption contest, face with strange painting

I know it’s inconceivable that our weekly caption contest could be late, but there was a holiday, and I had company, and I had stuff to do…  (I could give more excuses if you want, but then this might be even later, and then it would be your fault that it’s late, and it’s not like I need more excuses.)

Anyway, here it is.  The photo features a person wearing lots of makeup.  No context is given, so you get to make it up.  There’s also not much going on, so you might have to provide a backstory or flashback or exposition.  Here’s some potential ideas: Is it war paint?  Is it a gang sign?  Is it some new, trendy style of makeup?  Is it someone you know?  Was it a prank?  What will happen next?

caption contest, crazy man on woodpile

This week’s caption contest is strange and unusual, and it borders on inappropriate.  So if you’re easily offended, you’ve been warned, and you could just skip this one.  Basically, the picture is of an older naked man sitting on a pile of wood.  Well, he has boots on and he’s holding a pan, so you don’t see anything, but still, it’s gross.  There’s a woman in the foreground who looks very agitated, along with a woman in the background who looks like she’s trying to stop something from happening.  Overall, it’s crazy-mad weird.

I’ve been posting these caption contests for a long time now, and I have to tell you, I have absolutely no idea what’s going on in this picture.  So it’s up to you to figure out something funny to explain this photo.  And since the image is quite crazy to start with, your story probably can’t be too crazy for it.  So get creative.

caption contest, guy playing guitar around junk

This week’s caption contest features a man playing a guitar in what looks like a junkyard.  But who knows, it could be his yard, or props for some crazy movie.  He’s also wearing really weird outfit — is it a costume for something, or is that how he normally dresses?  You get to decide.  If you can figure anything out that’s funny, leave a comment for our enlightenment.  ‘Cause I just don’t get it…
