caption contest, man with fire behind him

As the calendar rolls around to Monday again, we roll out another caption contest, to help make your Monday better (and every day better).  This week’s photo is a stunt man ON FIRE.  (I can see this one being a lot of fun!)  As usual, you get to decide what the background circumstances are and write a caption for this.  You can write from anyone’s perspective.  Be original, be creative, be creatively original.   The only rule is to keep your comments clean — this is a family-friendly site.  Now, introduction aside, let’s get to the humor!

making fast food fancy

I’ve written before how the food you get at fast food restaurants often doesn’t resemble how it looks in the TV commercials.  Now there’s a website devoted to taking meals from fast food restaurants and making them looking like meals from fancy restaurants.  Their motto is: “Yeah, it’s still bad for you — but see how good it can look!”

Here’s an example, where they took a Wendy’s Baconator combo meal and made it unrecognizable.  Afterwards it looks like one of those dishes from a very expensive restaurant, where they don’t give you enough food and you don’t know what the food is.

Wendy's Napoleon

If you’re curious how they did that, here’s the link to the page explaining exactly what they did.

I have to admit, it does look fancy.   But it doesn’t look appetizing.   I would be hesitant to eat that based on appearance (except for the bacon crumbles).   Try to get your mind to reconcile the fact that the pile of mush in the middle is the actual ingredients from a double cheeseburger.  It just doesn’t want to compute…  And not only does it fail the logic component of my brain, but it makes me kinda sad…  That’s no way to treat a burger!

funny pictures, episode 4

While perusing teh Internets for photos for upcoming caption contests, I come across many funny photos that are worth sharing because, as the name implies, they are funny photos.  🙂  Of course, if you have any comments or captions to write for any of the pictures, feel free.   Actually, in this issue, I would like some captions for the last picture, because I just don’t get it.

This last picture was taken by a friend this past week.  I also saw it, and was wondering why in the world someone would put a Dodge Neon of all cars on a huge frame like that.  I really don’t understand.  If you have any possible explanation for this, share it in a comment.

warnings for hot dogs?

There’s a vegan advocacy group that is suing 5 of the major hot dog manufacturers, wanting a cancer-risk warning label to be placed on all hot dog packages sold in New Jersey.  (Only New Jersey?)  The lawsuit is on behalf of 3 New Jersey residents who bought hot dogs without knowing that they are (supposedly) a cause of colorectal cancer.  Well, the reason there’s no such warning is that such a claim has never been proven scientifically.  (And that seems like a valid reason.)

The president of the Cancer Project (who filed this lawsuit) compares the health risk of eating hot dogs to the lung cancer risk of smoking cigarettes.   I’m thinking WHATEVER.  Only when science backs that up will I believe such a claim.

If they start putting these warning labels on hot dogs, then we might as well throw the whole bathtub out with the bathwater.  How about this?   I think certain restaurants need a warning label for potential flatulence.   If a particular restaurant tends to give you gas (for example, Taco Bell), that could put your social status at risk.  Suppose you’re about to go in for a major job interview, but you’ve got a rumbly in your tumbly because of eating a few double cheesy beefy burritos.  It happens!  (Sadly, in today’s over-the-top “politically correct” society, I could see such a thing passing…)
