I gua-RON-tee that these are new, although their shelf life is open for debate. A practice caption in the middle, but if you're squeamish, feel free to improve on some of the others. Click on the thumbnail for the larger picture, naturally. If you miss out now, they will be in a January 2006 caption retrospective, according to my day planner.
Man, the reception sucks. Try adjusting the parabolic crown of thorns.
Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, I ask you... does this look like a man who has had 'All He Can Eat'?
What do you mean, 'this is an intervention'? I don't have a drinking problem, you bastards!

I swear on a stack of Catch-22s, I'll never club a stuffed seal filled with red dye ever again.
I've got an idea. Let's export all of the Austinites who think that slapping a 'Keep Austin Weird' sticker on their SUV is a sign of counter-cultural iconoclasm, and see if that helps. (Warning: caption of local interest only)
I guess that one night in Bangkok does make a hard man humble.
Jebus, these people so need a nap.

Posted by: D. Sidhe at March 22, 2005 11:45 PMWhile human protesters called for Bush's intervention in the Schiavo case, animals -- including a tabby cat and various insects -- were eager to express their views on end-of-life issues to Bill Frist and Tom DeLay.

"Survey says!"
Man, that Jeff Gannon can sure land on his feet.
"But the seventeen oil wells and pumping station were originally mine, Judge al-Wapner!"
"Yeah, hey people, forget the feeding tube and do something about this goddamn leash, m'kay?"

I'm uncertain whether to hand over my wallet or to demand oral and waffles for breakfast.
At the rally, Spike the cat knew that if the protesters won, he and other furry animals like him would become dinner for an overpopulated planet.
Posted by: Lucyd at March 23, 2005 05:54 AM#5 God, in an attempt to convince Schiavo protesters of the error of their ways, just missed with his first attempt to smite their cat with a large, unnaturally round boulder. So much for omnipotency.

Hardly. I think they have them in every college town- we have plenty of the "Keep Boulder Weird" types driving their Priuses around here . . . although by "Weird" I don't think they ever meant Ward Churchill, Jon Benet, recruiting scandal weird but rather, oh, golly, we have a bunch of those stores that sell incense and stickers that say "question reality!" weird.

2. The next person who calls it a private account is gonna git my fist in their ass! Yes, Jeff?
3. Hey, Baldy. Take my advice- do NOT go in that bathroom.
4. Zat eez not my dog.
5. The cat is a staunch death-with-dignity supporter, and will seek his vengeance by laying out a hairy puke on his owner's posters later.
6. This picture was taken just before the blood-smeared seal closed all the doors in the gymnasium and burnt it to the ground with its mind.
7. A similar campaign didn't go over as well in Colorado Springs, where the billboards read "Keep the Springs a Hotbed of Military Sexual Abuse and Evangelical Hubris"
8. Um . . . sir, you are sitting on one of my epaulets.
9. Just make sure you keep the invoice for your mail-order bride.

Posted by: Thorlac at March 23, 2005 03:41 PM"The thirteen year old cat, holding the reborn Terri Schiavo, widened its eyes and looked horrified at the demonstrator in front of her. She decided not to scratch Randall until she had a good paw-load of excrement; and with her decision made, she settled back once more."

Posted by: Brak at March 23, 2005 09:27 PM5. "Melody Ludwig (L) of Sarasota holds the leash to her cat Emme, waiting for Dr. Frist to arrive and take the animal into adoption. They were joined by supporters of Terri Schivavo, who'd protested in front of the Pinellas County Justice Center to have Terri Schiavo's feeding tube replaced, who were also eager to meet with, and be adopted by, the Senator."
