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.).

finally a diet plan with enough splurging

The other day I overheard the “Important Doctor” giving some health advice to someone trying to lose weight.  He said if you would eat healthy and responsible (low-fat and low-calorie and small portions) for 80% of your meals, then you could eat whatever you want for the other 20% of your meals and still lose weight.

Let it be noted that his actual words were “whatever you want” concerning 20% of your meals.  So if you normally eat 21 meals per week, then 20% would be about 4 meals.  That sounds like a plan I could follow.   That would mean I could eat at a pizza buffet 4 times per week and still lose weight.  Or have one of the meals be an all-you-can-eat donut bonanza.  Or I could eat dishes like the bacon explosion.  I think I could eat responsibly for the other meals of the week if I could splurge all I wanted on four meals per week.

However, I suspect that once again the (self-proclaimed) “Important Doctor” is blowing hot air.  If I were to eat at a pizza buffet four times per week, I guarantee I wouldn’t be losing weight — I’d be gaining it.  He’s probably just throwing figures out there to make it sound like he’s done research and knows what he’s talking about.   But we’ve had this debate before, that he’s probably non-accredited (if he even is a doctor at all).  His infamous bacon and cheese diet sounds great, but I don’t know of any research proving that it works long-term.  (I imagine it does make people happy in the short-term, though!)

snowboard basketball

I heard about this new idea for a sport — it combines snowboarding with basketball.  It may not sound compatible, but watch the video.  Perhaps this should be a new Winter Olympics sport.  It sure looks like fun.

If that doesn’t work, how about taking it a step further — people having snowball fights while snowboarding inside an arena like that where there will be plenty of tricks?

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.
