caption contest, guy watching professional cleanup crew

Another week, another caption contest.  This week’s photo features an older guy watching what looks like professional cleaners or a HAZMAT team or scientists.  These guys have masks and air tanks, so it looks serious.  Yet the older man doesn’t appear concerned.  So who knows what’s going on?  It’s up to you to write the story behind this picture.  Remember, you can frame the context however you want, so the sky’s the limit.  Have fun!

caption contest, lawmakers playing Solitaire instead of working

It may be late this week, but our weekly caption contest is finally here.  The photo this time features elected officials / lawmakers / politicians in a meeting, but some are playing Solitaire on their laptops while someone else speaks.  This actually happened a while back in Connecticut and it was Democrats goofing off, but for the sake of the caption contest, they can be whoever you want.

FYI, the point of this is for you to write something funny to explain this picture.  Feel free to get your political rant on, whether about the near government shutdown over budget issues or the current issue of the day, but phrase your response in the form of humor.  That is, make it funny, whether using satire or irony or puns or whatever.

explanation of Global Warming for children

There were some good (verbal) responses on our recent post with the child-like explanation of nuclear meltdown, so today we’re going to show a video that explains what causes Global Warming.  This is a simplified version, at a level anyone can understand.  (So if you still don’t get it, you’re obviously making things too complicated.)

FYI, this is from an episode of Futurama, in case you were wondering.

caption contest, Darth Vader on a swingset

We missed last week’s caption contest for various reasons, so perhaps this week’s should be double the awesome?  Well, I don’t know about that, but how about one with double the Darth Vaders?  It’ll have to do.  There’s some potential with this one, for both puns and Star Wars references, as well as original humor.  So put your thinking cap on (or take it off if that’s how your randomness flows better), and come up with something funny to explain this picture.
