Ever Pick Your Feet in Poughkeepsie?

You know the drill. Caption as many pictures as you want, but at least try out the two practice pictures (#5 and #10). Remember that clicking on thumbnails = the larger, context-revealing picture, and that you should tell me your personal favorites in the comments. My current favorite is probably a four-way tie, although I am already wondering what I was thinking with #8. However, I get bonus bad movie reference points for #9.

1. Kiss the ball! BALL KISSES YOU!

2. You have to work yourself way up the North Pole career ladder before being allowed to deliver presents to human children.

3. I think we should take this slow (rim shot).

4. Apparently he's killed a lot of geisha in battle.

5. [Practice caption #1. Get obscure!]

6. Well, we've got turkey, but you have to pay for your own gravy. Funny how that works!

7. I think that Popeye Doyle just moved for a change of venue to Simi Valley for his trial.

8. Time for another Japanese parliamentary election!

9. So we're going to use the interdimensional hyperdrive from the Event Horizon as a New Year's Ball. What could possibly go wrong?

10. [Practice caption #2. I'm speechless.]

S: Governor, it was a movie. It was in the script.
A: Bull! Special election! [who woulda thunk Sly would be more in touch with reality than the Gropenator? [does this qualify as a caption? It's probably too long. [Have I broken the captioning rules? Will the Left punish me?]]]

10) Not really a caption either. I would just like to know how Norb yanked an image directly from my dreams last night. I suspect the NSA was involved.
