caption contest, sports fan with shirt off

Thanks to those of you who noticed the lack of a caption contest last week.  It’s nice to know I was missed.  🙂

Getting back to normal, here’s our weekly caption contest.  Since this is a big time for sports, with the MLB / baseball playoffs in full swing, the NFL underway, NCAA football going, and the NBA preseason, there’s a lot going on.  So I chose a sports-related picture for this week.  It’s an overweight sports fan with his shirt off.

It’s up to you to figure out what’s going on here.  What is he doing?  What do the people around him think?  What’s about to happen?  Why is this a bad idea?  What happened to his shirt?

Where did the new posts go?

I’m finally getting back to new posts now.  Has it really been two weeks?  Inconceivable!   Here’s what happened — my computer got really sick. It either had a virus or there was a major corruption of the .NET Framework or some such issue.  Either way, most of my programs didn’t work, and it was hindering my work and my slacking, so getting it fixed became an important issue.  So new posts were neglected during that time.  Also, my monitor quit working, which further added to the problems.   Besides all this, there were all kinds of other stuff going wrong in my life.  I don’t remember everything that happened, but I’m pretty sure the Earth blew up.  (Just checking if you were still paying attention… it hasn’t gotten that bad yet!)

I won’t list all the things that went wrong.  It’s all spilled milk under the bridge now.  And I think it’s time to burn that bridge.

So blame the real world for the lack of new content lately.  Hopefully I can now return to my own little world, where everything I do turns out awesome and my coolness is beyond comprehension.

caption contest, guy pulling pig behind motorcycle

A Monday without a caption contest is like a hamburger without cheese.   Sure, it’s still edible, but just not as good as it could be.  Speaking of edible, this week’s caption contest features a pig, which is an excellent source of bacon.  Actually, there’s a guy on a moped pulling a pig in a cage.  I have no idea what’s going on here, but I’m sure you can think of something.  So come up with a funny explanation and share it in a comment.  (Here’s your chance for pig and bacon puns, if you must.)

unusual dance competition

I don’t regularly watch the show America’s Got Talent, so I don’t know all the context of this video, but I do know that there’s two people dancing to the same song here — an older grey-haired white man versus a black man who’s probably in his 20s or 30s.  And the song is by James Brown.  Who do you suppose would do better at getting their groove on?  (No need to be prejudiced here…  I’m just sayin’…)
