Caption Call Recap: Week of May 18
Caption Call is coming up on its first birthday, and our loyal captioners (as well as a few new faces here and there) keep making it an entertaining venture for us from week to week. Our personal favorite photo from last week showed a kid getting a snail facial; turns out he was going for a world record and not just a Caption Call hall of fame photo. Click on to see which captions from last week we thought were the funniest.

Yet another example of Guantanamo Bay info gathering techniques gone too far...

The jaguar in this AP photo is part of a set of triplets born recently at Tierpark Zoo in Berlin. Apparently this little fella isn't used to all of the paparazzi.
Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

"Hurry! You must put me back in the basket immediately! You did not mention that the paparazzi would be here and I have on the exact same outfit as the last time they photographed me."
