It’s time… for our weekly caption contest! As usual, write some funny text to go with this picture. (Yes, it’s really that simple.)
This week’s picture involves people in cheap robot costumes. I don’t know the original context of this photo, but that makes it even more fun. 
So figure out what could possibly be going on here. (Feel free to use your imagination as much as you want.)

This was the fourth day in a row they’d walked around their neighborhood like this, and for some strange reason, there seemed to be more “FOR SALE” signs each time…

With his He-Man sword, egg carton arm armor, and cardboard shield, nobody messed with Mango-Man.
