caption contest, men with turbans in a lake

This week’s caption contest features two men wearing turbans in water, looking at the city.  I have no idea what’s going on here.  See if you can think up something funny to explain this or to comment on it.  Just keep it clean — no need to be offensive.

caption contest, kids piling snow up to school door

Our weekly caption contest is running late, and I blame the snow.  (We never lost power or Internet connectivity, but extra time was spent playing in the snow.)   Since we just had a massive snowstorm / blizzard in the South, I figured a snow-themed caption contest is in order.  So here ya go.  You can write a caption from the point-of-view of the students, the teachers, onlookers, or just make a random joke or observation about it.  Anything is okay, as long as it is clean and funny.

caption contest, contraption from 1911

Now that the busyness of the holiday season is over, we can get back to normal around here.   And part of normal is a weekly caption contest.   (Thanks to those of you who noticed we missed the last two weeks — it’s nice that someone actually noticed!   I knew there were people who actually read this!)

This week’s photo is an old black-and-white / sepia-tone picture from 1911.  It’s a man holding some type of contraption — I don’t know what it is, so you get to make it up.  You can also explain who he is and what he’s up to.  Is that his invention?  Is it to make life better?  Is it for a prank?  Is it part of some world domination scheme?  You get to decide.  So think up something funny to explain this picture.  Remember, you can create your own context to fit the story.  You can even set the scenario in modern times (or include a time machine, which has a lot of potential).

caption contest, Santa parade in NYC

For this week’s caption contest, we’re going to feature a Christmas / holiday themed picture.  Here is a parade of Santa Clauses, walking down the street in New York City.  (NEW YORK CITY?!?)  So what is the purpose of it?  Is there a special occasion, or is it a secret mission?  Is it a conspiracy?  What are the onlookers thinking?  What should be done about this situation?
