Caption This Pic . . . Or Else.
Jul 25th 2007
Karen HawkinsGoddess Grins
Ok, just kidding about the “Or Else.” This is not a Forced Captioning Post, I promise. But is IS a FUN Captioning Post, so READ ON!
I thought we’d celebrate Almost Friday (aka Thursday) by stirring your creative juices by captioning a picture, and boy, do I have a great picture for you!
The rules? I don’t have any. Just look at the pic, write whatever pops into your massively creative skull cap, and we’ll all read what you’ve written and then laugh so loud we wake the baby (or the guy in the next cubicle, as the case may be). Afterwards, we’ll add our own comments, which will make YOU laugh and then—-
Heck, you’ve all been here before, so you know how it goes. Besides, if one of your entries REALLY knocks my socks off, I may send out an autographed book to an unsuspecting goddess poster.
We goddesses are unpredictable like that.
So, put on your thinking caps and give us your best caption/short scene/or funny comment!

Heh! I’ll start!
John: Mary, PLEASE don’t jump ship! I love you! I need you! I want you! Ever since you came into my life, I’ve done nothing but think of you, You, YOU! You’re everything I’ve ever wanted in a woman! If you’ll have me, I promise to work hard and get promoted from Bus Boy to Captain — I hear the US Minnow is looking for a good man even now! I promise to keep a good job and come home to you every night and let you cook for me, clean for me, rub my shoulders, wash my clothes, scrub my dirty dishes, change my shirts, pluck the really gross hair from the backs of my ears, change the oil in my ca–”

Woman: If you breathe on me one more time, I’m throwing you overboard. Get your gurgling schnozzola away from my curls.
Man: Sniff.
Man: Splash.
Woman: *Brushes her hands together in a job well done.*
(Ok, so I’m sick, sniffling is on my mind right now.)

“Darling, may we please leave now?”
“Leave? Now? Why would we leave now? Can’t you tell I’m having the time of my life?”
“Well… no. You’ve had that same blank expression ever since you came home last week from your er…special doctor.”
“Don’t you start with my doctor again Manfred. This is not the place and time. Now why in the world would you want to leave this place right before midnight? THe whole point of having a New Years Eve Bash is to count down to midnight!”
“Well… umm…”
“Spit it out Manfred! I don’t have all day! What in the world is your bloody problem!?”
Theres a short pause where she stares daggers at him.
Then he blurts out rather loudly.
“I’ve just sharted!”

“Honey, what are you staring at.”
“Earlier I saw a boy on a broomstick fly by with a dragon chasing him, not to mention there was this giant squid that came out of the water and made a grab at them. Then after all that some merpeople came to the top of the water and started singing this creepy song. I’m just waiting to see if they come back.”

After several glasses of the captain’s best champagne, John stumbles to the railing to breathe in some night air. “Odd place for a dress mannequin,” he thinks to himself. “I think she’d look good in my cabin. Will she fit?”

John: …but how do you keep from showing your panty line? Do you have something that I could borrow? These ultra-high waisted pants and cutaway are leaving no room for camouflage.

OMG! You all are so very funny and clever.
I’ll see if I can get some creative juices flowing later today, my brain is a little sluggish this morning.
Can hardly wait to get back and read more.

“John, dahhlink, did you hear dhat Colgate has a new Cinnamon Spice toothpaste?”
“Why, no, Marlene, my lovely.”
“Perhaps, Listerine and their new Cool Mint Antiseptic mouth wash?”
“No, no, my dearest.”
Marlene replies with a sly smile tickling the corners of her lips, “Then perhaps we should go to my cabin and gargle together?”
“Why, what a smashing idea.”

Kasey that was funny!!
My cousins and I have been furiously emailing each other about various parts of bk 7 that needed further explanation. I am actually re-reading bk 6 to better understand bk 7 and then have to re-read chunks of bk7 (soon as I get it back)
SIGH!!

John: You think Ray Milland is hotter than I am, don’t you?
Marlene: Do you want me to be honest, or kind?

Colinfirthfan - I reread the entire series before I read book 7. I am so glad I did becasue I couldn’t believe how much I had forgotten until I read them again. Have fun rereading them. I am planning on reading book 7 again but I want to give myself a little time to digest it before I read it again.
If you want to know more about what happens to the characters after the epilouge there was an interview with J. K. in which she gives more information. FOR ANYONE WHO HAS NOT READ HP 7 YET…DON”T READ THIS ARTICLE BECAUSE IT HAS SPOILERS.
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/19959323/
She also mentions writing a Harry Potter Encyclopedia to give more information on characters.
colinfirthfan on 26 Jul 2007 at 1:43 pm #
Kasey - that is awesome. Thanks you so much. She did answer a few of the questions I had.
I wish I had time to re-read the entire series before she started. I remembered quite a bit from the first 3 books becuase I have read them about 6 or 7 times each. The next 3 not as much but I was 3/4th the way through 6 before I started 7 (which saved my from complete confusion)!!
:-))
(sorry didn’t mean to make this the HP discussion board)
Karen Hawkins on 26 Jul 2007 at 1:43 pm #
You guys! These are great! I have been chortling!
And methinks we need a HP day to discuss said book. People, get on the horse and READ so we can discuss without worrying about spoilers and such.

Man: Talk dirty to me, sweetheart. I’m a man that loves cleaning up.
Woman: *thinking…Did he really just use that as a line?*
twolilhahas on 26 Jul 2007 at 1:57 pm #
Man: I knew the moment I saw you that you were the one for me. What say we go back to my room, sweet?
Woman: *thinking* I wonder if I should tell him I’m a man now, or wait until we get back to his room. mwahhahahaha

Man: Does it mean you’re angry when your nostrils flare like that?
Woman: *balls up fist and slings it up and backwards as hard as she can into his nose*
Sabrina Jeffries on 26 Jul 2007 at 2:15 pm #
Um, don’t all scream at me at once, but I haven’t read a single Harry Potter. Haven’t seen a single one of the movies. I think I’d like them, but ….
My excuse is that when the first one came out, I was entering the hell of puberty with my son. I not only didn’t read during that period, but I didn’t do much of anything else except keep from killing him. By the time he morphed from Demon Child into lovable sweetheart (the state he has thankfully remained in for some time now, so I’m hoping it’s permanent), three books had come out, and it was too daunting to think about reading the early ones.
One day ….
So, no, the beetle had nothing to do with that, curiously enough.
Kasey on 26 Jul 2007 at 2:18 pm #
Sabrina - you got to hop on the bandwagon, you won’t be sorry. I started reading them right before the 4th book came out. I wasn’t planning on reading them but my sister had it and I was home from college for Chirstmas break and bored so I read it that afternoon. I’ve been hooked ever since.
Karen - a Harry Potter discussion would be great.
twolilhahas on 26 Jul 2007 at 2:27 pm #
Sabrina, you are not the lone ranger here. I haven’t read a single Harry Potter book or seen any of the movies. I keep seeing them in Wal-Mart thinking I need to “hop on the bandwagon” as Kasey put it, but just haven’t. Like you, I see soooo many of them and it just seems like so much to do. That, and I know some characters die from reading snippets of people’s reactions to earlier books, and I’m just not sure I want to attach myself to a group that isn’t going to all make it. I’m a weenie like that and that is why I read romance…Happy Endings!!!
zambonigirl on 26 Jul 2007 at 2:40 pm #
If you guys wait until September, there’s going to be a Harry Potter collection. It will come in a little “trunk” like the one that Harry takes to Hogwarts, and it will have all the books. I don’t know if it will have the two bonus books (Quidditch Through The Ages and Fantastical Beasts And Where To Find Them-both were sold for the purpose of donating the proceeds to charity and are a fun read), but I’m definitely planning on getting the boxed set.
My name is Heidi, and I’m a bibliophile.
twolilhahas-um…yeah. Starting very early in the series, there is quite a bit of tragedy. Honestly? The outcome is happy. Well, bittersweet, anyway. Happy endings are what fanfiction is for…especially if you ship Hermione/Snape. Not that I know anyone who does. *whistles innocently*
Julia London on 26 Jul 2007 at 3:15 pm #
Sabrina, you are not alone. I read the first one. Twice. I read it when it first came out and couldn’t remember it, so read it again. I have seen two of the movies and enjoyed them. But I never got on the bandwagon completely. Not having kids probably had something to do with it :-). Now I sort of wish I had. The task seems daunting.

Okay Gees….That’s all I got. I am quipped out. Thanks, Karen H for the good laugh today. All day at work I kept thinking of that picture. My coworkers must think I had a screw loose.

Tee hee! I’m a sucker for old movies, so I have a ton of the ‘exaggerated pose’ movie stills. Black and white movies really did tend to lend themselves to extremism as they used stage techniques that sometimes didn’t translate well to film. There are some pretty funny moments because of that!
You guys have done TERRIFIC! I have grinned all day, too, because every time I checked in, there was something new and hysterical up.
Thanks for the laughs, m’dears! I’ll pick one or two that seem really zipoy and send them a signed book tomorrow.

I’ve got two captions:
1. The Sea Captain knew he had to inform his wife that he had fallen in love with a Marlene Dietrich blow up doll. ‘A man’s gotta do what a man’s gotta do’, when he’s away from home.
2. When John Wayne was between acting jobs, he worked as a sea captain, little realizing that one of his first tasks was to blow up the Marlene Dietrich doll life rafts.

I think I’m going to get jumped later, but….
I couldn’t stand the first three HP books. I hated the way they were written, and couldn’t STAND that she kept explaining things to be like I was five years old even three books in. When I was about halfway through POA and was being told how to play quidditch for the umpteenth time I had to give up. It was a ‘throw the book against the wall’ moment for me.
However, I did read book seven and it was phenominal!!! There were a few things I didn’t understand (Because I never read halfblood prince and only saw the movie for order of the pheonix), but I still thoroughly enjoyed the book.
I’m thinking of reading the series backwards until she reverts to her earlier way of writing…

I didn’t get a chance to read these until today, and they’re hilarious!
You goddesses are just so dang funny! Thank you for making my week.

i think i can relate a bit to BethanyHamilton… i mean there are some pretty hilarious phrases in HP7 …for instance “she looked like a flaming flamingo”…. has anyone ever seen a flaming flamingo?… no doubt the sight would be phenonmenal
Karen Hawkins on 28 Jul 2007 at 9:45 am #
Hey guys! HP7 is going to be the topic for our FROS (For Refreshment Only Sunday.) So get ready to DISCUSS!!!
Also, I’m going to announce who won the Caption Blog, so be sure you read the announcements at the top of the blog this week.

I don’t know if I made it for the fun little contest, but I’m still going to post what I wanted to when I saw this picture. I just got on here today. I always end up missing the contests. lol Geez. Oh well. ~Andrea
Dean: So baby, am I out of the doghouse yet or do you want to stay mad at me the whole night?
Kelly: (sigh and roll of her eyes)
Dean: Come on, you know you want to go out there and dance. You want to show up all those other couples. You know you do. You want to smile triumphantly and put your nose in the air and shove it in all these people’s faces. Don’t you…? You can’t deny it.
Kelly: (glare) Men! You amaze me. And no, you are not out of the doghouse yet. Go back to the punch bowl and think over what you did to make it in the doghouse and why you are in it even more now.
‘Dean leans in and kisses Kelly softly. Kelly allows him and then smiling sweetly dumps punch on his head.’
