We have no clue who would actually pay money for this outfit from Dutch Fashion house Peachoo Krejberg let alone have somewhere to wear it out to. Maybe we're just too conservative with our fashion sense. (AP photo)
The explosion at the Rogaine factory claimed several victims, including this bystander who just happened to be jogging by...

We think this ridiculous outfit from Belgian designer Walter Van Beirendonck kinda looks like the Arby's hat that appears over hungry peoples' heads in their commercials. Even still, it's odd. (AP photo)
New TRON clothing line takes the fashion world by shock.
Submitted by Matthew (We absolutely hate Tron, but thanks for making us remember it, Matthew)

Submitted by Pie Snelson (Would they be to embarrassed to leave the house if they were dressed like this, Pie?)
This Kermit shirt is by our new favorite wacky designer: Jean-Charles de Castelbajac, who recently brought Caption Call the Andy Warhol dress. The Kermit outfit is just about as wearable, but may be hard to wash. (AP photo)
It's the closest Kermit has been to a boob since Fozzy Bear
Submitted by Tim
Next on E!: Kermit the Frog sells his children to Cruella De Vil in order to support his drug addiction. Kermit is quotes as saying: "I'm a frog! We have 50 kids at a time. Who knows if all those tadpoles are even mine!"
Submitted by Cait
She told me if I kissed the frog ......

So was this the whole "outfit" by Ukrainian designer Elena Burenina being modeled in a recent runway show? Can I buy this somewhere and wear it out? Would it be in the store in the "accessories" department? So many questions. (AP photo)
Han Solo was in mourning today after Princess Leia was spotted wearing the remnants of his missing friend Chewbaca.
Submitted by GMan
What fashion trend is favored by mystery writers? The red hair ring.
Submitted by Mary Pat Hyland (Well played, MPH)
OK, today's picture is one of our favorite Caption Call pics in a long time just because of how absurd it is. Who would want to sculpt their beard into a bicycle? Furthermore, who has enough beard hair to grapple with the difficult decision of what to sculpt the hair into? Come up with a funny caption for this picture.
Olaf aspired to be a balloon sculptor, but he had to settle for beard sculpting instead
(Getty Images)
Ah, what a glorious and full beard on this gentleman. Why are they ruining it by twisting it and tugging at it? Do they have classes on beard sculpture at MICA?

Caption Call Recap: Week of March 16
Apologies for the lateness of the Recap this week, loyal captioners. We had to take an unexpected sick day, but you guys didn't disappoint us while we were gone. Thanks for the great captions on Monday's photo of Cousin It's runway debut; they really lifted our spirits. Click the link below to catch up on last week's best captions.
Protesters often make the best Caption Call photos. It's not that we don't take them seriously; they just come up with creative approaches to get attention. The penguin protester in this Getty Images photo is calling attention to energy efficient appliances.
Homeless penguin, will work for ice.
Submitted by Margaret Palmer
Recent graduate of the "Wile E. Coyote School of Communication and Placard Design"
Submitted by D.Keefer
Local environmentalist able to fully explain the hazards of global warming on planet earth, but still unable to grasp the concept that penguins only have one nose.

Spike finds that training for the Iditarod is tougher than he expected.

Doubtful that Reese Witherspoon's new animated movie "Monsters vs. Aliens" will take off like "The Incredibles," but who wouldn't want to see a movie starring a big blue blob? (AP photo)

I squish your head like a grape!
Submitted by Cait (That reminds us of the "crush your head" bit the Kids in the Hall did)
Love your talonicure. I was thinking of having French tips done on mine.
Submitted by Mary Pat Hyland (What would a French tips taloncure look like, MPH?)
"Mom! Pedro's not touching me again!"
Submitted by D.Keefer (Sounds like how we'd use to fight with our brother when we were little)
The gents in this Getty Images photo belong to an "ice-bathing club" in Berlin which has got to be like a Polar Bear club. Those Europeans, always gotta go making things fancy.
Al Gore and Rush Limbaugh fight over the concept of global warming.
Submitted by Phyllis Reinhard (Which one is which, Phyllis?)

Reese Witherspoon: At least in 'Legally Blonde' my co-stars were human
(AP photo)

Caption Call Recap: Week of March 9
Apologies for the late recap. We shuffled off to Buffalo for a weekend getaway, but saw you have been busy coming up with some very funny captions while were gone, especially on today's picture of an impostor penguin looking for a warmer home. Without further delay, here are our favorite funny captions from last week (click the link below).
How do pandas celebrate their birthdays? With a giant ice cake filled with carrots, bamboo and other delectables, of course! Gao Gao from the San Diego Zoo seems like a happy boy in this AP photo.
This week on "Top Chef Beijing," contestant Ming Sigh finishes his "Something Bamboo" Quickfire Challenge entry: Star Fruit & Bamboo Leaf Sorbet with Chilled Rice Wine in Bamboo Cups and Lotus Root Garnish.
Submitted by Mary Pat Hyland
(If only they'd have bamboo challenges on Top Chef...maybe it would be better than the disappointing season that just finished up)
Protesters are a weird bunch. The activist in this AP photo is raging against climate change. Good luck, clown.
After delcaring for bankruptzy, Magna Employees and Horses begin their second careers.
Submitted by HB (Timely caption -- well played!)
Pink performs for the Benevolent Order of Heavily Armed Mounted Police, but .the horse on the right dumps on her performance.
Submitted by Phyllis Reinhard (Way to spot the details!)
So it seems we have a thing for robots lately. It's just the wave of the future, perhaps. Weren't we supposed to have flying cars by the year 2000 anyway? (Getty Images)
You remember Rosie, star of the Jetsons. Well here she is showing off her now svelte frame, thanks to RoboSlim. Mix just one shaker of 3-in-one with the RoboSlim granules and watch those extra pounds and parts just fall right off.
Submitted by Pie Snelson (Can Rosie get me a flying car?)
Taverns of the future: Stiffs serving stiff drinks to real stiffs.
Submitted by Attila the Hon
We can always count on fashion to provide some funny moments. French designer Jean-Charles de Castelbajac sent this creation down the runway at his recent show (more pictures here). Is the furry collar, I mean Andy's hair, purely fashionable or also functional? (AP photo)
If you think this is bad you should see the Don King dress.
Submitted by Quinn (That would probably tickle more than the Warhol)
Cruella DeVille's granddaughter, Brittany, shows off her new line of non-Dalmatian clothing.
Submitted by Vince Schuman
He Ping Ping, the Guinness Book of World Records' smallest man, seems to be all over the place these days. First, we had him with the woman with the world's longest legs. Now in this Getty Images photo he's posing with a shoe belonging to the world's tallest person.
After his kayak capsized, Scooter was ready to give up on winning the race. Then he spied Magic Johnson in the crowd...

This is the last time I order shoes over the internet.

President Barack Obama had his really big shoe, now it's little He Ping Ping's turn. Write a funny caption for this photo and submit it as a comment below.
(A note for Caption Call regulars -- if you recall, this dude was featured in another pic with a very tall gal pal. Guess he just can't find anything that fits.)

This Andy Warhol dress can buy you an extra 15 minutes of fame
(AP photo)
We're huge Andy Warhol fans here at Caption Call, but we've got mixed feelings on whether he'd want to be turned into a dress. Who knows; he was so kooky that maybe he'd go for it. Come up with a funny caption for the picture and post it as a comment below.
And if you're as interested in the weird and wacky side of fashion as we are, check out these latest photos from Paris Fashion Week.

This gentleman is dressed as what is presumably his favorite anime character at a comic book convention in Hong Kong. We think the wig was overkill. (Getty Images)
In this tough economy, everyone is trying to make a little extra money. Even hamburger icon Wendy has a second job. Here we see her dusting and doing laundry as an employee of The Homely Maids Company.
Submitted by Pie Snelson
Remember that snow storm we got last week? (We know it's hard to remember that after having highs in the 70s over the weekend.) Well, the dog in this Getty Images picture was too good for the snow on New York City's Upper East Side.
In a show of solidarity, Bjork fans start wearing their pets as articles of clothing as well.
Submitted by Matthew
"Oooh! You scared me. I didn't expect you to still be there after I pushed that soccer ball from in front of my face."
Submitted by Pie Snelson
Haven't heard much from Mel Gibson lately? Looks like he's been too busy working behind the scenes on movies and growing some peculiar facial hair to be much in the public eye these days. (Getty Images)
Variety has reported that Mel Gibson has been signed to star in the biopic "Don't Eat Yellow Snow: The Frank Zappa Story"
Submitted by D.Keefer
We didn't expect y'all would be as creative with this picture as you actually were. The male models in this AP photo from a Thierry Mugler show in Paris are pretty menacing and funny at the same time.
Hey I did not know that they were going to make a male model version of West Side Story!
Submitted by D. (Imagine us snapping our fingers with you, perfectly in sync)
Tim Gunn's new boyband, "Make It Work."
Submitted by Phyllis Reinhard

Michael Jackson's going to be performing again this summer in London. We'll avoid the obvious jokes about children. (Getty Images)
Can I get a whoop whoop? Anyone? No? Ok. That makes the King sad....
Submitted by Cait (There's only one king: Elvis. We don't recognize Michael Jackson's monarchy here at Caption Call)
Look Tito, no glove.
Submitted by Quinn

Princess Dainty Cup's owner didn't want to ruin the dog's pet-icure in the snow
(Getty Images)
We're not consciously trying for a princess theme this week; we just assume a fluffy dog like this would have a name like Princess Dainty Cup. Leave us a funny caption for this photo -- complete with an even more embarassing name for the dog, if you wish -- as a comment below. And while you're at it, pereuse this photo gallery of pets playing in the snow.March 2, 2009
Caption Call Recap: Week of Feb. 23
It's been a fun week here at Caption Call, with a throwback to Oscars fashions past in Bjork's infamous swan dress and Val Kilmer's Mardi Gras comeback. We even had President Barack Obama and his really big shoe. Click the link below to see if any of your funny captions made the cut in our Caption Call Recap contest.
Who can forget that Bjork wore this swan dive of an outfit to the Oscars in 2001. What's worse: Bjork's getup, or the outfit a very, very pregnant M.I.A. wore at this year's Grammys? (AP photo)
Beer. Björk. Battleswan Gallactica.
Submitted by Mary Pat Hyland (That one's for all of you fans of The Office out there. Way to play to the judge, MP)
Yeah, the dress was a flop, but it fed the inhabitants of a local homeless shelter for a week...
Submitted by D.Keefer
We haven't seen Val Kilmer in a while, so we're not quite sure what to think that he's reemerged on the scene in this AP photo as as King Bacchus XLI during the Krewe of Bacchus parade in New Orleans. Good luck on that campaign to be New Mexico's governor, caped crusader.
For extra money, Val Kilmer sells men's underwear as King of the Fruit Guys.

Kilmer Krowned King of Krummy Kostumes
Submitted by Pie Snelson
The baby lemur in this Getty Images photo was recently born in a zoo in eastern France. No details on the story behind that creepy stuffed animal.

Octomom's earlier efforts lacked her Jolie-esque looks.

This giant-sized sneaker was a gift to President Barack Obama from Phoenix Suns center Shaquille O'Neil when the president recently stopped in Arizona to pitch his stimulus package. (AP photo)
Saying that it's not just for big businesses, President Obama displays how the stimulus plan will also provide Octomom housing.
Submitted by Pie Snelson (See, everyone. We weren't kidding about the octomom jokes...)
Whoever fits this shoe shall become my new Commerce Secretary!
Submitted by D
Just think if THIS shoe was thrown at President Bush he wouldn't have missed...
Submitted by Dennis Seabolt
BERTI the robot, part of an exhibit at a London science museum, is apparently a pretty formidible foe at rock, paper scissors. But we're sure he could be programmed to shoot just scissors over and over again, like in this Getty Images photo.
Deep Blue's son, Cerulean, takes over the quest for total geek domination.
