caption contest, airplane crashed in a lake

Short work-week or not, I’m still going to publish a caption contest, because I’m just awesome like that.

This week’s photo features a man in a uniform staring at an airplane crashed in a lake / pond.  It’s up to you — yes, you — to figure out what happened and write a (preferably funny) explanation.  Of course, this being a site of randomness and humor, you can take it in any direction you want.  You can write from the perspective of someone not even in the picture.  Or you can write about what caused this, or what will happen later because of it.  Let your creativity soar.

world record lunch break

I would like to hold the world record at something.  I wonder what the record is for the longest lunch break…  That sounds like something I could accomplish.

Smurfs movie trailer

Have you heard that there’s a Smurfs movie in the works?  Yes, all ’80s cartoon franchises are subject to being made into movies.  You can watch the trailer here: SmurfHappens.com.

Honestly, I don’t have high hopes for this movie.  But the involvement of Neil Patrick Harris is promising.

The trailer gives the impression that they’re going to overdo the use of “smurf” as a means-everything word.  If there’s that many in the trailer, how many will there be in the movie?

I find it kinda ironic that one of the Smurfs has a Scottish accent.  Weren’t they all from one location?  Isn’t it odd that one (and possibly only one) of them would have such a different accent?  Oh, wait, I probably shouldn’t try to make this realistic at all.  And I’m certainly not complaining, because I like hearing a Scottish accent.  At least it’ll have that going for it.

caption contest, pancake tossing

For this caption contest, you’re going to have to use your imagination.  (Hopefully you still remember how to access it.)  This week’s photo features a group of people in business suits tossing pancakes in the air.  I honestly have no idea why this would be happening, but I can make something up.  I’d like to hear your ideas, too.
