Twistie’s Sunday Caption Madness: The Pugnacious Pugilist Edition

Sunday, August 19th, 2012

Hey everyone, it’s time once again to play Twistie’s Sunday Caption Madness!

You all know how this works. I post a picture that I feel is howling in the night for a good caption or seven. You provide said captions via the comments function. Next week I declare a winner, and we all sing tra-la-la in five part harmony, with feeling.

This week’s image comes from the painfully mixed messages file, and it looks something like this:

Ready… set… snark!

Twistie’s Sunday Caption Madness: The Feather Light Edition: The Result

Saturday, July 21st, 2012

Well.

Last week I caused you all to cluck at my choice of this deathless image:

… and two of you came out swinging with imaginative and apt captions.

You did not make it easy on me. But in the end, there can be but one winner… except in those painfully rare cases where I declare a tie.

That’s right. I can’t choose. You both hit me in my weak spots.

The inimitable Sarah C blindsided me with a reference to my favorite cookware:

Jill decided to try and make the best of it when a typographical error in the wedding registry resulted in the delivery of Le Poulet instead of Le Creuset to cook them in.

And Cara got me on the Anglophile side with reference to a bit of phrasing more common across the pond:

The American bridesmaids took the British bride’s request for a “Hen Night” a little too literally.

Both were entirely too good to choose between, so you both win… as do all of us who got to enjoy your captions. Congratulations, ladies! And thanks for playing.

Greetings and Hallucinations, all!

It’s time once again to play Twistie’s Sunday Caption Madness.

You know how this works. I post a picture that’s simply sitting up and begging for a ridiculous caption or three. You provide said captions via the comments function. Next week I declare a winner and we all dance around a virtual maypole in jubilation.

This image comes to you from the bizarre bridesmaids accessory file and it looks a bit like this:

Ready… set… snark!

Twistie’s Sunday Caption Madness: The Going to the Dogs Edition: The Result

Saturday, July 7th, 2012

Oh my dearie darlings!

Last week I inflicted this deathless image on you all:

… and four of you came right back at me with hilarious captions.

All the captions were great, but in the end there can be but one winner. This week it’s the always entertaining Ripley who clearly knows what a sucker I am for a good reference to classic literature:

Conventionality be damned, Miriam would NOT end up like Miss Havisham!

Congratulations, Ripley! And thanks to everyone who played.

Hey there all you boys and girls out there in Bridesland! It’s time once again to play Twistie’s Sunday Caption Madness!

This week’s image comes from the doggone silly file and it looks a little like this:

Twistie’s Sunday Caption Madness: The Alternative Transportation Edition: The Result

Saturday, May 5th, 2012

How do, all?

Last week I stunned you all into silence with this deathless image:

… and precisely one of you managed to come up with an equally deathless response. Then again, it does make picking a winner easier, and considering how good it was, there’s a good chance it would have been a winner even with a deeper field to choose from.

And so the winner is Jo for this inimitable statement:

The bride was not amused when her new husband took the comment “hope you’ll fill out your trunks well” rather literally.

Congratulations, Jo!
