Warning : May contain more than your daily recommended allowance of randomness
This week’s caption contest really needs your help in explaining it. Obviously a jet crashed in some woman’s backyard. Or is that really what happened? How did this happen? Why? What should happen next? You decide.

The other day I went to Larry’s Pizza, and I wondered if I should get a salad. Now, before you judge me, hear the rest of the story. I realize that the official Buffet o’ Blog stance on the salad bar at Larry’s Pizza is that it’s there just for decoration. I understand that and agree wholefartedly. But this was a unique visit to the restaurant.
Accompanying me on this pizza quest was my wife, her mom, and her sister. Predictably, they all got a salad to go with their all-you-can-eat pizza. (Ironically, it’s impossible to eat all-you-can-eat pizza if you also eat a salad, since you’re wasting calories on greenery.) Anyway, I am trying to lose weight (which is why I intentionally limit my trips there). Also to consider is that it’s important to try to make a good impression on the in-laws. Even though they know me by now, I still may be judged for what I do and don’t do, which can make life more complicated.
So now you understand my dilemma. Obviously I don’t want to get a salad, and I especially don’t want to eat one there. (I don’t know if their salad bar is good or not — I honestly have never looked at it closely. All I see there is pizza!) Of course my options were to either get a salad or not, but there are potentially even more options. So I figured I’d put out a poll where you can vote on what I should’ve done. I’m just curious what the general populace thinks on such issues.
Your vote is anonymous, and after you vote it will show you what the current tally is.
Some friends recently told me about a website caused Devastating Explosions, at the touch of a button. I have to say, this is one of the coolest websites I’ve ever seen. All it is is explosions that you detonate, but what more do you need? I recommend you make your web browser full-screen for this page.
The website is courtesy of Old Spice. I’m not really sure what deodorant has to do with explosions, but it’s cool nonetheless. (Yeah, I realize it’s a marketing ploy to get them recognition, and it’s a good one.)
Anyway, back to the explosions… One of them has two tanker trucks blowing up in an intersection, which seems odd. But then an old car drives through the explosion area like nothing happened. Another scene has a huge explosion and there’s somebody walking along casually. I’m thinking if there’s a massive explosion that close to you and you aren’t either admiring it or running away, then you had something to do with it and are trying too hard to look innocent.
There needs to be more websites like this… and they should be made into TV commercials.
We need to figure out how to get paid for making video clips of explosions! Surely there are many amateur / indie movie-makers who would like to add more explosions to their films (who wouldn’t?), but they don’t have the budget for it. Plus it would be awesome to try to build the most complete library of explosions ever! How many unique explosions could we think up? I don’t know, but I’ve got quite a few ideas already…
Our next caption contest features a man acting crazy with people and smoke and signs all around him. Is it a riot? A protest? A parade? A party? A corporate fun outing gone bad? You decide. You could report on it like a news agency, or from the perspective of someone in the picture, or just make a related joke (even tying it into real-world events, if you can make it funny).
