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.

bjork swan dress

 

 

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)

Yeah, the dress was a flop, but it fed the inhabitants of a local homeless shelter for a week...

 val kilmer mardi gras

 

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.

baby lemur

 

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. 

Sorry folks, my mom seems to be in shock, seems she saw a picture of Val Kilmer!
Submitted by D (Way to bring it back, D...we were also shocked by Val Kilmer)

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

obama giant shoe
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!

Just think if THIS shoe was thrown at President Bush he wouldn't have missed...

robot plays rock paper scissors



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.

Kevin's theory that chicks dig robots was proven correct when he discovered that XD 7 had been with as many women as he had.
