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.

 penguin protester


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.

 bird fight


Two macaws battle each other for food at a Bangkok, Thailand, zoo. Not sure who won, but with talons like that, the outcome couldn't have been good. (AP photo)

I squish your head like a grape!

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.
