add your own captions, man in flower garden

Here we go with another caption contest!  I expect this one to be a fun time, given what I know about some of the regular readers here.  The game works the same as always — write a caption for this photo.  It can be analysis, commentary, or dialog of the people in it.

FYI, if you are not aware of the inside joke that’s going on in the comments, refer to this post: a man who likes flowers.  Of course, there’s no comments while I’m writing this, and while I’m not prophetic, sometimes I can predict the future.  And I have some ideas for where this discussion will go.

add your own captions, Bush and an alien

It’s time for another caption contest!  Like normal, there’s no prizes, but you get to laugh at the randomness people can come up with.  The only thing resembling a prize is that you get to make other people laugh, which is really worth a lot (in life, just not in money).  Anyway, I’m rambling, so let’s get to the picture.  Leave your analysis / commentary / captions in the comments.

add your own captions, Bill Clinton speaking for Hillary

It’s time for another caption contest! I’m going to go with the political theme once again, mainly because I have this picture of Bill Clinton speaking on behalf of Hillary Clinton’s 2008 campaign for president, and now her campaign has derailed.  So I need to use it while the story is still somewhat relevant.  Plus, there’s some potential humor with this picture.

Like before, you get to write the caption for this photo, from whichever perspective you want to.  Have fun!

add your own captions, superwuss

It’s time for another caption contest!  After a few consecutive political photos, I’m going to the realm of superheroes (or, in this case, wanna-be superheroes).

The “rules” are the same as before: you make up a caption for what the guy in the photo is saying (or thinking) or what onlookers might be thinking or just general analysis.  The “prize” is, um, nonexistent.  Oh, wait, you get to make people laugh by saying funny stuff.  And a picture is worth a thousand words, so I’ve set up lots of potential commentary with the image below.  Have fun!

add your own captions, Bill & Hillary Clinton

Let’s have another caption contest!  I’m going to go with another political picture again, because the Democratic primaries are such big news.  This photo features both Bill and Hillary Clinton.  As you know, Hillary is in an interesting situation right now, in that many people are calling for her to give up.  But she’s staying in the race, because anything can happen (like someone getting assassinated, as she referenced recently).  I won’t start ranting now about how stupid her comment was.  (Must… stay… focused…  You can rant, if you want.)  Anyway, let’s get to the picture:

Put your captions / analysis / commentary in a comment, for all to enjoy.

add your own captions, Barack Obama and John Kerry

Here’s our next caption contest.  (Yes, it’s a contest — while there are no official prizes, if you make people laugh, you “win”.)  All you have to do is write a caption for this picture.  This week we’re featuring a photo from the campaign trail, featuring presidential wanna-be John Kerry giving advice (or consolation) to presidential candidate Barack Obama.

Have fun with this one…

add your own captions, Hillary Clinton & Elvis

It’s time for another caption contest!  I’m going to go with the political theme again, since the race for the Democratic nomination is all over the news, plus I have this picture of Hillary Clinton with a black Elvis wanna-be.  I think there’s a lot of potential with this one.

So write in a comment what you think about this picture or what you think any of the people in it might be thinking.  And let your creativity flow…

add your own captions, basketball photo

It’s now time for another caption contest.  Since the NCAA Tournament (March Madness) just completed and the NBA playoffs are approaching, I’m going to use a basketball-themed picture this time.

The “rules” are the same as last time.  You can make up what one of the people in the picture is saying (whether the primary ones or the onlookers), or you can write commentary or analysis for it like you’re an announcer.  Or you can just write what you think about it.  So figure out what you would say here.  (There is one rule — keep it clean.)

add your own captions, Barack Obama photo

For the second installment of our “Say What?” series of writing captions for photos, we’re going to use a political picture.  This year, politics has been dominating the news, with all the primaries and caucuses to find a couple of presidential candidates.

This picture features one of the main Democrat candidates, Barack Hussein Obama.  This particular picture has become controversial of late, because he didn’t put his hand over his heart during the National Anthem.  The U.S. Flag Code states that you should in this situation.  And lest you think it’s just a well-timed photo, there’s a video at Snopes.com that shows he wasn’t for the entire song.  An Obama campaign spokesperson said, “Sometimes he does, sometimes he doesn’t.  In no way was he making any sort of statement, and any suggestion to the contrary is ridiculous.”  You can think what you want about that, though I wonder why a professional politician who calculates every move would sometimes do it and sometimes not do it.  Anyway, let’s get to the picture and the captions.

You can write what Obama might be thinking, or what the other people in the photo might be thinking, or you can write your own analysis or commentary of the situation from a third-party perspective.  Have fun!

add your own captions, pt 1

Today I’m going to add a new feature to the blog.  It’s called, “Say What?”  How it works is very simple.  I will post a picture, and you add the captions for it.  You can write from the perspective of the people in the photograph, or you can write as an announcer, or you can take any other point-of-view you can think of.  It’s that simple.  The only rule is to obey the language rules of the website — basically, keep it clean.

Let’s get started.
