Caption Call Recap: Week of April 6

Thanks, loyal Caption Callers, for still throwing in a funny caption here and there while we were away at the end of last week. Nice to know you're taking care of the blog. Let's take a look back at last week's funniest captions (click the link below).

 

french potato protesters

The French protesters in this Getty Images pic are raging against the shooting of a commercial advertising cooking oil. Looks like they dressed like the ad's stars, not protesters.

Alternative spellers hold a rally supporting Dan Quayle.

Lead chip leads all other chips in rousing unity song "Ain't No Chomping Us Now"
Submitted by Tim (Thanks Tim. Now we've got that song stuck in our head.)

 

 


joe biden orioles first pitch



Vice President Joe Biden threw out the first pitch to kick off the Orioles season. Seems like you guys thought the whole thing was as funny as we did, since you left us some great captions (and Sarah Palin references ... we didn't even think to go there). (AP photo)

"Chad, they're booing the bird right"?
Submitted by Benjamin

Yeah, laugh it up while you can. I'm flying over you in the parking lot after the game, and you can be darn sure I'm eating chili dogs during the 7th inning stretch!!
Submitted by Cait

Somebody better tell Levi that he can't hide from Sarah and Bristol for too much longer.

 man in drag costume

The actor in this Getty Images photo with the Royal Scottish Academy of Music and Drama is preparing to take the stage as Mother Goose. We didn't think Mother Goose wore so much eye makeup.

That is the last time I got to The Drew Carey Show Garage Sale!
Submitted by D (Classic! We love Mimi)

Rare photo uncovered of Divine in his (her?) dressing room on the set of Pink Flamingos.

 shrove tuesday pancake race


In honor of the Easter season, we chose this AP photo of two competitors in a Shrove Tuesday pancake relay race in England.

The competition for "Iron Granny Chef" was fierce.
Submitted by Patti (What would the secret ingredient be, Patti? Werther's Original hard candies?)

Cait and Patti flip over who gets to help Betsy Ross sew the flag.
Submitted by Pie Snelson (They do have that Betsy Ross air about them, Pie. Must be that floppy bonnet. Nicely played)

 

 

 

 


geisha bunny tokyo


OK, so this wasn't really an Easter bunny. We had a hard time picking out a funny picture of a proper Easter bunny, so we thought this Japanese substitute would suffice. This Getty Images photo taken from a rabbit fashion contest in Tokyo.

Deep Thoughts by Bobby Bunny: In some countries we even have a whole year to celbrate us. This must not be the year.

Exploitation or torture - talk amongst yourselves.
Submitted by Attila the Hon (Our personal favorite: "Rhode Island is neither a road nor an island. Discuss.")

 

Remember to check out our first two pictures of the week: a certifiable egg head and a puppy race of epic proportions.
