Title: OT: Suggest a Caption for this Photo!
Post by: BWJM on July 16, 2007, 02:12:49 pm
So I found this photo the other day and I thought it would be great to have a little contest on the forums here to see who can suggest the best caption.

If it helps, you can refer to the person in the photo as "Phil". (Real name not used to protect the guilty). Captions can be funny, serious, or whatever. Once a good number of them come in, I'll take the best ten (give or take) in my opinion and create a poll where people can vote for their favourite. Once the winner is chosen, I will also announce the real name of the person in the photo, and the context of this shot.

Get ready, set, GO!

1.  It's a damn shame throwing away a perfectly good  boy like that.
 2.  "let's go to the casino they said..... what's the worst that can happen they said"
 3. Well, at least the couch is salvageable.

An unfortunate victim of overbidding for a 3rd party graded item labelled "EPQ" without examining it first.

PD  ;D

Raven wanted me to add this; (evil smiley)

Denial, first step in coping with loss. "Wait I was just scratching my nose!"
Anger, "Stop the auction, I want to get off."
Bargaining, "Look I just can't afford it. I'll resell it at Half price!"
Acceptance, "Gave up the room, sold my plane ticket, my luggage, at least I have this nice mylar holder now..."

Here's another one...seems a little dark, or maybe I've talking to Raven too much. Has anyone seen Huds?  ???

Anyway, this one's inspired by Squid mon.

I heard Hudson was at the CNA in Niagara Falls

I wonder if he used all that money (PROFIT) he made brick searching to pay for the airfare and presidential suite at the hotel ???

He will probably tell you he hid in the luggage compartment and then crashed with friends for Free  at the hotel ;D

NEWS FLASH....
Early this morning an Alberta man's body has been found in the back lot at a Niagra Falls Hotel, preliminary examination indicated that the man expired from suffocation from within a confimined space for some time. Authorities believe that this death is a result of a failed attempt to enter the Hotel and likely gain access into the convention taking place at the same location, the body may have been staged by a dumpster to appear like a homeless drunk.

PD  ;)

Moral of the story: If you're sneak someone in ,be sure to punch a few air holes in the luggage trunk.

I have an anonymous suggestion from someone who was looking over my shoulder:

"The couch is PMG UNC-67 EFQ, but the male laying on it is well circulated."

(EFQ = Exceptional Fabric Quality)

You think that person over your shoulder would have put in that they would consider the male laying there is a well circulated Fine.... hahahaha  ::)

Even Goodwill wouldn't take her crummy old sofa, so she had to call her brother and father to come over and bring it down to the trash for her.

They said, "what the hell, her husband's a schlub, he should have helped us move this dam thing, let's toss him out too."

You can now note the absence of frothing at the mouth and sudden onset of lethargy and persistant hallucinations of imagined bricks hidding everywhere including sofas. Our subject Phil is approaching the severe final stages of B.S.W.A.S. Brick-Searcher-Withdrawal-Addiction-Syndrome. The only humane thing we could do is to put him down, is a shot of Johnny Walker for the pain, followed by an injection of an illegally obtained synthetic derived from BOC banknote ink.

999 upside-down is 666.

[It is 2:30 am.  Phil is awakened by the noise of two cats yowling outside his bedroom window].

"Shut up, damn you!" [Throws his shoe at them].

"Aw, crap!" [Phil realizes a split second later that, like most guys, that's the only pair of shoes he has and he will need to get his right shoe back.  Phil gets dressed and goes outside to look for it].

"Sc**w it!" [It's too dark out and Phil can't find his shoe.  He was out boozing with his frat buddies the night before and was too exhausted to keep looking.  He gratefully flops face down onto a nearby sofa that someone has discarded and falls into a deep but troubled sleep].

[It is 8:45 am.  Phil is awakened by a garbage man who is standing over him laughing and holding a camera]: "OK, move it, bud!  We've gotta haul this stuff away".

[Phil jolts upright in a panic].  "S**t!  I'm late for work!!"

[Phil has a vague sense that this might not turn out to be a very nice day.  He had lost his shoe, possibly his job and his clothes reeked of - ugh - what was that smell??]

"Oh, I'll KILL those bloody CATS!!".

[It is 8:00 pm.  Thankfully, the day is over.  Earlier, Phil had to hit his parents up and grovel for $80 to buy some clothes and a cheap pair of shoes.  None of the four $20 bills he got were Insert notes.  Oh well.  His boss had also chewed him out and docked him half a day's pay for being late, and poor Phil still had the smell of that filthy sofa in his nostrils.  He couldn't remember ever having smelled anything so nasty!].

[It is 8:01 pm.  A light bulb goes off over Phil's head.]  "Hey, now I know what to do once I graduate from University!  I'll open a pub, and I'll call it 'Philthy McNasty's'!!"

The rest is history...



...and for me to have sat here all this time typing this drivel only proves that I have no life!



Gotcha!  I did this at work on the company's time, so in a sense I even got PAID for typing this rubbish!  Who's the loser now??  ;)

Police have not yet been able to identify the body of a young man found behind the Fallsview convention centre on monday morning. The police did find , stuffed in his mouth , a blank CPMS membership card with only the name Phil on it.
The investigation has now centered on a young lady dressed in red , short black leather skirt and high heels, standing  just outside the CPMS convention room and last seen talking to the young man.
