caption contest, people dressed in moss costumes

Welcome to our next weekly caption contest!  This week’s photo features several people dressed in costumes that look to be made of moss, and they’re walking down a city street.  As usual, I have absolutely no context whatsoever for this, but that’s not a problem because we get to make up our own context.  So write a caption from anybody’s perspective (whether in the picture or not), and you can invent your own backstory.  Or you can just come up with a joke.  Just make it funny and clean.

For some inspiration, you can consider these questions.  Does this have something to do with the “going green” movement?  Is it some type of camouflage?  Is it a protest?  Who organized this parade?  What are their motives or intentions?

caption contest, mounties on fake horses

I watched part of the closing ceremony of the 2010 Winter Olympics last night, and the finale involved various aspects of Canadian culture.  Seeing the mounties reminded me of this picture I had stored away in my stash of future caption contest photos.  So I figured this would be as good a time as any to use this picture.

As you can see below, the photo features what looks like two Canadian mounties (police officers) on fake horses.  Of course, there is no actual context provided, so you can make the scenario be whatever you want.  Just keep it clean and funny.  And for the record, this photo and the ensuing comments are not intended to dis’ (disrespect) Canada nor their mounties in any way.  It’s just for fun, and two guys on fake horses seemed to have some humor potential.

For ideas, think of what various people might say in that situation.  For example, what might the mounties be saying to each other?  What might the onlooking civilians say or think?  What might these mounties be responding to?  Why do they have fake horses?  And of course, your caption can be completely random — that’s what we specialize in here at this blog.

caption contest, ice skating accident

Since the Winter Olympics are going on now, I figured this would be the ideal time to have an Olympic-themed caption contest.   Ironically, just today was the couples ice skating finals, which goes along with the picture I have for this these.  This photo is a collage of two pictures, and it features some special move that didn’t turn out right, unless the WWE / WWF is combined with ice skating.  I don’t know any more context, but that’s okay — you get to fill in the missing details.  Write a caption explaining what’s going on, from whatever point-of-view you’d like (e.g., the skaters, their coach, the judges, announcers, analysts, crowd, etc.).

caption contest, cat surrounded by paparazzi

How about another caption contest?   Sounds good to me.  This week’s photo features a cat having its picture taken by a paparazzi of photographers, or at least that’s what it looks like.  As usual, there is no actual context provided, so it’s up to you to make up a story (or a joke) about what’s going on.  We’d like it if you’d share your caption with the rest of us, by leaving a comment.   And you can add as many as you’d like.  Have fun with it.
