"Hey! Wait a Minute! These Captions Weren't Double-Bolted!"

That's right, it's straight-up classy captions this week to liven up yer Wednesday. As you are well aware, you can click on the thumbnails for a larger, context-revealing pic, try your hand at developing your own captions (especially #6, the practice picture), and tell me your favorites in the comments. I think I'll go for numbers 1 and 4, as I am a sucker for Devo and RenFest references.

1. Well, Tina, to answer your question, I'm a man on a mission. I'm a boy with a gun. I got a picture in my pocket of the lucky one.

2. OK, now give me one that says "Sensible Tarriffs Policy Now!"

3. Ahhhh, nothing beats the feel of a human-skin rug.

4. Becometh thee ready to throweth the legs of muttone at the newe couppel!

5. Celebrating the bicentennial of do-it-yourself proctology.

6. [Practice photo time! I know it's not the pick of the litter, that's why you should also go to town on the other pictures.]

7. That ain't makeup. He just went face-first into the Craft Services desert cart.

8. And then the little boy in the striped shirt who broke the Junior Free Speech Enclosure barrier was quickly whisked away by the Secret Service.

9. Man, they runnin' out of shit to baptize.

10. Super-sized cup of kitty litter with chunklets? I'm lovin' it!

11. I want my money back! She don't do nothin', just sits there all day on her pink comforter with her stuffed animals!

1. By Grabthar's Hammer, what savings!

4. O.K., we found our Fiona, but we really gotta get a better Shrek for this live action version.

5. "If his chest had been a cannon, he would have shot his heart upon it." -- the inspiration for Herman Melville's earlier work, Muddy Dick.

6. Sure, the birth of an heir to the Chrysanthemum Throne gives new hope to the Japanese right wing, but they really went too far by digging up those Comfort Women.

8. George Bush reaches out to his remaining few supporters: freaky white families with nine children.

9. Once bitten, twice shy, the producers of "Crocodile Hunter" Steve Irwin's documentary allow it to continue to be filmed, although it will be renamed as "The Ocean's Most Dangerous Animal Breaths".

11. My husband -- some hotshot! (This is the real Ancient Chinee Secret.)

I like Norb's #9.
