caption contest, Barack Obama looking under desk

I can’t let another week get started without a caption contest…   This week’s photo features President Barack Obama looking under his desk in the Oval Office while a lady looks on amusedly.  I don’t know if she is an admin or a temp or an assistant or friend or Congressperson — you get to decide who she is, if you wish to define her.  That’s how the whole caption contest works — it’s up to you to explain what is going on here.  So think of something funny — and it can be politically-based — but keep it clean.

caption contest, sports fan with shirt off

Thanks to those of you who noticed the lack of a caption contest last week.  It’s nice to know I was missed.  🙂

Getting back to normal, here’s our weekly caption contest.  Since this is a big time for sports, with the MLB / baseball playoffs in full swing, the NFL underway, NCAA football going, and the NBA preseason, there’s a lot going on.  So I chose a sports-related picture for this week.  It’s an overweight sports fan with his shirt off.

It’s up to you to figure out what’s going on here.  What is he doing?  What do the people around him think?  What’s about to happen?  Why is this a bad idea?  What happened to his shirt?

caption contest, guy pulling pig behind motorcycle

A Monday without a caption contest is like a hamburger without cheese.   Sure, it’s still edible, but just not as good as it could be.  Speaking of edible, this week’s caption contest features a pig, which is an excellent source of bacon.  Actually, there’s a guy on a moped pulling a pig in a cage.  I have no idea what’s going on here, but I’m sure you can think of something.  So come up with a funny explanation and share it in a comment.  (Here’s your chance for pig and bacon puns, if you must.)

caption contest, Volkswagen Bug modded way too much

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.
