caption contest, Big Belly Deli

This week I’ve got a funny picture for the caption contest.  There’s a man of rotund proportions standing outside a restaurant / cafe called Big Belly Deli.  Yeah, the joke is obvious, but there are a lot of caption possibilities with this one.  If you get stuck trying to think of something to write, consider what you’d say in that situation, or suppose you were the one taking the picture, or suppose you’re the announcer for a commercial.  Think outside the box to come up with original captions.

caption contest, bull in stands

Here’s your next regularly scheduled caption contest.  (Even though they are once a week, you can always leave additional answers on older ones.  Since we aren’t actually handing out physical prizes at this point, the contest never ends.)  🙂

This week’s photo features a bull in the stands at some type of sporting event.  Obviously something has went terribly wrong for this to happen.  (And where is the matador?)  It’s your duty to explain what might be going on here.   Have fun with it!

caption contest, kid reading newspaper on toilet

Here we go, another week, another Monday, just like clockwork.  Also, another caption contest.   This week’s funny picture was sent in by a regular reader (who credits the infamous bacon and cheese diet for his regularity).  This picture features a little kid / baby sitting on a toilet reading a newspaper.  Obviously it’s been altered already, but we’ll use it anyway and see what happens.

So think of funny stuff to explain this picture or to add a story to it.   Remember, you get to write the story however you want to — you can base it on world events in the news, you can embellish a story, or you can even invent your own.  Just whatever you do — make it funny.

Easter eggs falling from the sky

Speaking of Easter eggs, a couple of years ago a church in South Carolina dropped 50,000 plastic Easter eggs from an airplane, for people to find.  They claimed that some eggs had prizes fit for adults.   As you might expect, we had an interesting discussion based on this:

That would have been hilarious, a field full of people waiting for the eggs to arrive, and then 50,000 eggs falling from the sky like pastel colored hail. I can see the news headlines now — “Easter bunny takes to sky, kills three”, “When Eggs go bad, the Easter Weekend Massacre”, and a Mythbusters episode where they not only prove that the Easter Bunny, Santa Claus and the Tooth Fairy are real, but they can kill you too.   And when you say with prizes fit for adults, I’m imagining a TV wrapped in a giant eggshell, and a couch, car, and boat done the same way. ~ Turtle Dundee, 4/9/07

Now I have a bonus Easter-related link for you.  This story is about a couple who hid real, hard-boiled Easter eggs around their house for their kids.  They hid two dozen, but found only 13.   I’ll leave the hilarious explanation for your reading, because it’s really funny how he explains what happened.  Here’s the link: Smells like Easter.  [link broken]
