Warning : May contain more than your daily recommended allowance of randomness
For this week’s caption contest, I’m using a Christmas-themed photo. Well, it features Santa Claus, so it’s festive and stuff. But this is no ordinary holiday photo — Santa is driving an armored SWAT truck, and he’s being followed by a helicopter. So obviously there’s some action story behind this picture. And it’s up to you to write the story.

Welcome to this week’s caption contest! (But even if it’s no longer “this week”, you can still leave comments.) This week’s photo features a boy sitting at a kitchen table, with his computer setup on it. The computer looks somewhat old / antique. He also has some food with him — pizza and milk — which happen to go well with computing (although many prefer an energy drink). He’s also excited about something.
As usual, there is no context provided for this picture, so you can make it up. You can make any type of joke you want — about computers, technology, homework, nerds, food, or create a story to setup your joke. You can do whatever you want, as long as you keep it clean and funny. That said, let’s get to the humor!

New posts were in short supply last week with the extended holiday — there were a lot of Thanksgiving dinners to attend — but now things are back to normal. So let’s kick this week off with a caption contest, as is our custom.
This week’s photo is quite unusual. I really have no idea what’s going on here, except that a guy is standing in the middle of the road with his pants down and his shirt off. There are a lot of other people around, but at a distance. Since I have no context whatsoever for this picture, we’ll just have to make it up. That’s where you come in. Explain what could be going on here, whether realistically or not. Just make it funny, and keep it clean.

This year, it seems people got into decorating for Halloween a lot more than normal. And as you’ve probably noticed, retail department stores are pushing the Christmas decor on us before Thanksgiving. It’s getting crazy. I like to keep the holidays separate — my rule is no Christmas music or Christmas decorations before Thanksgiving. But stores seem to not be informed of my rule.
Before long, these holidays will all become merged by the unstoppable commercialization process. Figuring out how to market the holidays together might seem difficult, but fortunately someone has already figured all this out. In the article I’m about to link to, Chris Carlisle combines Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas. For a mascot / symbol, he creates a “ninja robot Mecha Santa Claus”. If that’s not enough to get you to read the article, I don’t know what is… Plus it’s funny, and he has a good way of explaining all this.
