This week’s caption contest features an inanimate object that moves. 🙂 It’s a Volkswagen Beetle (also known as a Volkswagen Bug), similar to Herbie. It’s been heavily modded / junked / pimped-out / whatever you want to call it. Why would someone do this to their car? I don’t know. Perhaps you can explain. You can write a caption from any perspective — the car’s owner, the spouse or children of the car’s owner, the car itself, someone seeing this on the road, an antique car collector, etc.

Here’s something you don’t see every day. The mascot for the Tennessee Titans football team ate a cheerleader. (The video is just 14 seconds, in case you’re wondering if you have time to watch it.)
Notice her hair just before she is consumed — did he belch in her face?
And what exactly is that mascot? And why is it so rotund?
One of the regular readers here recently mentioned that we haven’t put out an issue of viewer mail in a while. They are correct. And there is no good excuse for it, because it’s a fun series, and there’s plenty of material to work with. Perhaps the writers are slackers. So to light a fire under them, I told them they had to put out a new episode of viewer mail or they’d go to bed without supper. That is sufficient motivation, so now we have the next issue of viewer mail.
As usual, this is based on actual search terms used to find this blog, and I’ll focus on the ones we haven’t already written extensively about.

* large sausage & bacon sandwich — My dream of the future is that someday we’ll be able to download stuff like this. Just type it in at a certain site (or select it from pictures), and it’s downloaded through the Internet. Although I wonder if the tubes of the Internet are subject to artery clogging… Why would I worry about that, though? I’m American! Here’s the kind of breakfast sandwich I would download — bacon, sausage, copious amounts of cheese, held together by grilled cheese with bacon. (There could hardly be a better breakfast sandwich, unless you add some milk gravy.)
* buffet calories — This is an invalid request. The whole nature of a food buffet is unlimited, so if you’re wanting to count calories, you should avoid a buffet. The great part of a buffet is that you get to eat what you want, in whatever combination you want, and however much you want. That’s why it’s called “all you can eat”. If you don’t eat all you can eat, you’re getting ripped off, because that’s what you paid for.
* homer simpson freak out — Your search returned 7,352,809 results. 🙂
* barack obama thinking — Your search returned 0 results. (That was too easy…)
* super awesome bacon sandwhich — See above. Actually, there are a number of bacon sandwiches (and other awesome bacon foodstuffs) documented here. You can click on the “Food Critic” category, and many will either start with bacon or have it added. (It’s inevitable that someone will always say “needs more bacon”.) One of the Food Critic entries is a massively stacked bacon sandwich, with many layers of bacon. You can also search for our Buffet o’ Bacon series, where we conduct our own bacon recipe research, involving the Buffet o’ Blog important chefs (of which there are several). There you’ll find some bacon dishes you’ve probably never thought of before, and it may make you hungry. 🙂
* women have bad moods — Your search returned 380,599,248,107 results. (I hope I don’t get in trouble for that!)
I’d better wrap this up before things get too crazy. Actually, I suddenly have a powerful craving for bacon… Time to exit stage right to search for bacon!
Once again it’s time for our next weekly caption contest. This week’s photo features a man eating a giant cheeseburger. And he’s wearing a helmet. Who knows why? (Hopefully you do.) Make up your best guess to explain this picture — or make a joke about it or even a pun (if you must) — and leave it in a comment.
