Oh, Yuck! Meatcaptions! My Most Hated of All Captions!
There seems to be an awful lot of old men in this week's batch, and that's even with my skipping over about 400 Bergman and Antonioni photos. Click on the thumbnails for a larger, context-revealing picture, caption and re-caption as many as you'd like (but especially #5), and tell me your favorites of mine or others in the comments. I like the limitless potential of #9, but in a strange twist, my invitation to caption #5 may itself be the best caption. Wrap your tiny minds around THAT one!
1. 
That's what you get for feeding a pope after midnight.
2. 
"Sorrow is the key that gets our tears out of eye jail."
3. 
All that extra space in Guantanamo and we can't indefinitely detain these two?
4. 
If I can just... go 24 hours... without taking a bribe... from a real estate developer... I should be good.
5. 
[Practice caption, practice caption, lotsa fun with practice caption, time to get your keyboards and your mouses... practice captions, practice captions, open up your practice caption, time to let Bill Cosby be the subject of a practice caption with you!]
6. 
ESPN7 presents: Xtreme Simon Says!
7. 
Vasectomies are hard to come by in some former Eastern Bloc countries.
8. 
"We got more gongs than the breakdancing Albert Einstein robot that caught on fire."
9. 
Finally, the perfect iPod accessory to make the caterwauling of Michael Bolton palatable to the female population.
10. 
Man, Derek Smalls has really let himself go.
Speaking of unpalatable caterwauling and bands that may have influenced Spinal Tap, here's a little Uriah Heep for your eye-socket and ear-hole!
Dear Lord!
No caption, as I'm not personally all that funny when I try to be, but the practice caption picture reminded me of two things. 1.) Cosby's skit about street football and 2.) Eddie Murphy's imitation of The Coz from SNL. Man, Murphy had his game down fucking early...

2. The miniature eye grills worked fine until the charcoal was lit and the steaks were put on.
3. New Jack City really was the high water mark, wasn't it?
6. "I'm a little teacup, short and stout. This is my handle..."
There is maybe one original member in that video of Heep, but I'm not even sure of that.

In #5, are those official 1940s football shoes? They look kinda like Crocs.
And #9. Dear god, #9. I think I want one of those; I'll have people call me - alot.

6. "Wait! stop! new concept! okay...this time we have them check EACH OTHER for lice!"
7. In warmer climes and Buddhist cultures, children amuse themselves by making sand mandala angels.
8. "You haff dreissig seconds to moof your automotive vehicle!"
9. "NOW how much would you pay? But wait: THERE'S MORE!"
10. Just because Chris Walken can do a music video doesn't mean that you can too, Michael Caine.

Hmm. Apparently that one went to 11.
Sad songs are nature's onions.
