caption contest, Star Wars, evil donations

This week’s caption contest has a Star Wars theme.   It appears that the Sith Lord and an Imperial Stormtrooper are either selling something or asking for donations.  Who knows what’s really going on.   But that’s where you come in.  Figure out what’s happening, and write a comment about it.   Of course, your explanation / story doesn’t have to be anything realistic at all — just funny.

I want to see a star explode!

I was just reading about how cool it would be to see a star go supernova — that is, explode.  That would be incredibly awesome.  But who has time to sit around and wait for that to happen?  They can burn for millions or billions of years before exploding.  And even if I had that much time, I’m not going to stare into the sky every night waiting for that to happen.   (Although if I had that much time, I’d have more time for such things.)

So maybe we should coerce a star to explode.   Then we could schedule it, announce it, and half the world could watch it live.   We could sponsor it, saying, “This supernova is brought to you by Buffet o’ Blog.”   This would be all over the news, and then we’d be super-famous — all for blowing up a star, which we’ve wanted to do anyway.  So it’s a win-win for us!

R&D department, I know what we’re gonna do today…  🙂

food critic, corn dog pizza

Someone today was talking to me about a corn dog pizza, and it reminded me of this picture I had saved for our food critic series.   I’ve never tried a corn dog pizza, and if I made one it wouldn’t be done quite like this.  But this picture is what it is, so let’s start with it.  What do you think about this food item, and how could it be made better?
