Caption Call Recap: Week of May 25

Memorial Day gave us a short week for photos, but you guys didn't hold back your funny. Click through to see if we chose any of your captions for special recognition.


Before we get to this week's photos, take a gander at our favorite, probably unintentionally funny caption of the week on
our Susan Boyle photo from a few weeks ago. The sentiment alone is hilarious, and the thought of the person shouting it (it is in all caps, you know) makes it even funnier to us:

AFTER HEARING SUSAN BOYLE SING, ONE CANNOT GET THE SOUND OF THAT BEAUTIFUL VOICE OUT OF ONE'S HEAD. IT IS UNBELIEVABLE!

OK, now that that's out of our system, here are this week's best captions, in our humble opinion:

mr t chicago cubs pitch

Mr. T can do no wrong in our eyes. We celebrate him through Caption Call homages (including this AP photo) any time possible, even when he was a corporate shill for Snickers. That's why we think this comment from jason is kinda funny (we realize he probably hasn't seen Caption Call before, but we still decided to post his comment even though it wasn't a funny caption).

Do you like the pants? I just got them at M. C. Hammer's garage sale.

Even Tim Gunn couldn't "make it work" with this outfit!

Although Octomom's not much into sports, Octodad can dunk, pitch, backhand, putt, shoot, catch, field and kick save; all without missing a beat.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU NEED MORE THAN $5 A DAY FOR AN ALLOWANCE?
Submitted by dkh735 (Yay for a bonus Jon and Kate Plus Eight reference! We can't bring ourselves to post a picture of them taken by the "p people")

Madge found Sherman to be a much better threat to the kids on road trips than yelling, "Don't make me pull over!"

puma pinata

Actual caption: A puma pounces on her Earth Day special deer pinata with a beef bone placed on top in Chicago. Our reaction: We want a special Earth Day pinata. (AP photo)

Several hundred Greek warriors left the confines of the wooden deer only to be pounced upon by a giant mountain lion...

I can't believe some one put super glue on it's nose...
