caption contest, boy at computer on kitchen table

Welcome to this week’s caption contest!  (But even if it’s no longer “this week”, you can still leave comments.)  This week’s photo features a boy sitting at a kitchen table, with his computer setup on it.  The computer looks somewhat old / antique.  He also has some food with him — pizza and milk — which happen to go well with computing (although many prefer an energy drink).   He’s also excited about something.

As usual, there is no context provided for this picture, so you can make it up.  You can make any type of joke you want — about computers, technology, homework, nerds, food, or create a story to setup your joke.   You can do whatever you want, as long as you keep it clean and funny.  That said, let’s get to the humor!

caption contest, man with pants down in public

New posts were in short supply last week with the extended holiday — there were a lot of Thanksgiving dinners to attend — but now things are back to normal.  So let’s kick this week off with a caption contest, as is our custom.

This week’s photo is quite unusual.  I really have no idea what’s going on here, except that a guy is standing in the middle of the road with his pants down and his shirt off.   There are a lot of other people around, but at a distance.  Since I have no context whatsoever for this picture, we’ll just have to make it up.  That’s where you come in.  Explain what could be going on here, whether realistically or not.  Just make it funny, and keep it clean.

caption contest, Barack Obama and Rahm Emanuel

Most of the caption contests here use pictures loaded with randomness, but this week I’m going to use a political photo, so we can try to make some political humor.  This photo is of President Barack Obama relaxing, while his Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel is on the phone.  I have no idea what the actual context of this picture is, but who needs context?  We get to make it up, which is what makes it fun!

Just remember to keep the comments funny and clean.  You can make political statements, but make them funny (whether laugh-out-loud or satire or irony).  This isn’t the place for serious long-winded rants about why your preferred political party is great and/or the other party siphons.  (Comments violating this rule may be deleted, per the site’s rules.)   Of course you can reference current political events, or you can make up any context you want.  Have fun with it!

caption contest, car jumping over edge, on fire

It’s that time of the week again — time for another caption contest!  This week’s photo is action-packed, featuring a car jumping over the edge, and it’s ON FIRE!  Surely there’s an interesting story behind this picture.  It’s up to you to figure it out.
