caption contest, guy in weird helmet

After an extended hiatus, let’s get things back to normal by restarting the weekly caption contest.  This week’s photo has a man wearing a weird-looking helmet with several military officers looking on.  I really have no idea what’s going on here.  Is it some secret government research?  Is it a prank or joke?  Is it bad fashion?  It’s up to you.

caption contest, plane approaching runway with people on it

It’s time for another caption contest.  Instead of me rambling on for a while (like normal), let’s get right to it.   🙂

Here’s your photo for this week.  Write something funny to explain what’s going on.

the military’s new ray gun

The military now has an actual ray gun, which they call the “Active Denial System”.  It shoots out a 100,000 watt beam of radio waves.  It does no permanent damage, but it can stop people in their tracks up to half a mile away.

There’s some videos at this link.

I just want to know — where can I get one?  🙂

This would be great for keeping the neighbor’s pets out of my yard, along with those annoying door-to-door salesmen.  Plus it would be great at parties, although they need to develop a hand-gun sized version.  Maybe I should get the Buffet o’ Blog R&D department to develop one.  I bet it would sell like hotcakes…
