caption contest, boy with boombox

It’s now time for our weekly caption contest.  This week’s photo features a boy holding a dual-cassette jambox / boombox, with a couple of cans of spray paint.  Behind him is a prodigious amount of graffiti.  The young man is also making some attempt at being “cool”, wearing sunglasses and making some sign / symbol with his hand.   As always, there is no factual context behind this picture, so you get to make it up.  You can explain what he’s thinking and/or doing, what his peers think, or what has happened or is about to happen.  Basically, you can make up whatever you want.  The only rules are: keep it clean and make it funny.  Have fun!

caption contest, dog in Superman costume

Like clockwork, here’s this week’s caption contest.   (Actually, since it’s later than normal, the clock might be broken.)   This time the photo is of a person walking their dog, which is wearing a Superman costume.   It’s up to you to write something funny to go with this picture.  You can write from the owner’s perspective, the dog’s point-of-view, anyone watching, or even just general commentary or jokes or puns.

caption contest, soldiers with balloons

It is once again time for a caption contest.  The photo this time features a group of people in military uniforms with balloons trapped inside large nets.   Are the balloons being held hostage?  Are they being taken away?  Will they be released?  What is the purpose of all this?   You decide.

caption contest, person watching volcano eruption

Once again, it’s time for our weekly caption contest.  I’m fairly sure we have yet to exhaust the previous one, but I’ll give you another one anyway.   Feel free to peruse the archives — your comments will be seen, no matter how old the post is.

Anyway, rambling aside, here’s the picture.   There’s someone standing outside a small stone house, looking at a volcano starting to erupt.  It looks like something action-packed is about to happen.  From the filename, I deduce it’s the Kliuchevskoi volcano in Russia.   But you need not concern yourself with the facts, because it’s a caption contest, so you get to make up the context.  Create some funny story / explanation / joke to go with the picture.
