Warning : May contain more than your daily recommended allowance of randomness
I heard someone on TV say that if everyone ate three fewer burgers per week, it would be the equivalent of taking SUVs off the road. I don’t know about all that. But I do figure that if everyone ate 3 fewer burgers per week, we wouldn’t need SUVs so much because we could fit in smaller cars again! 😮
It’s late on Monday night, but I didn’t forget about the caption contest. Don’t lose heart! This week, we have an interesting picture of a soccer / football player standing in the midst of his opponents, who are on the ground for some unknown reason. I’m confident that some of you will figure out what might be going on here.
So how does this work? You (and I’m talking to you) write a comment with a funny explanation or humorous analysis of the situation. It’s that simple. Here’s the photo:

Today is “Fat Tuesday”. If you’re fat, then this is your day. And if you’re not fat, then you’re supposed to try to become fat. 🙂 No, really it’s about Mardi Gras, which literally translates to “Fat Tuesday”. I don’t care anything about the Mardi Gras celebration in New Orleans, but the notion of Fat Tuesday sounds interesting.
Fat Tuesday is always the day before Ash Wednesday, when Catholics and some formal, “liturgical” Christian denominations start Lent, a time of fasting from some item that you really enjoy. I don’t participate in that. I’m all for repenting and fasting, but not in this organized way. But to each their own. FYI, the date of Fat Tuesday varies each year. This year, 2009, it is today, February 24. Consult the Internet or calendar for other years.
Anyway, the idea of eating all you want on Fat Tuesday sounds like a good idea, regardless of whether or not you participate in Lent. So hopefully you made the most of your meals today. It’s part of being culturally relevant, or somethin’…
Fortunately, I participated in this overeating ritual during lunch today, even though I didn’t consciously know I was supposed to. 🙂
I’m not one to get stuck on tradition, but having a new caption contest every Monday seems like a good plan. So here goes.
Explain what’s going on in this picture. Remember, any type of humor is appreciated (as long as it’s clean). You can make puns, one-liners, jokes, irony, satire, tie-ins with current news, or science-fiction. You can even create a short story that ties in with this picture. (Just remember that a picture is worth only a thousands words — no more.) 🙂 Basically, what I’m saying is, take the box walls down and let your thoughts roam, to see what you can come up with.
