Looks like our senses of humor aren't on the same wavelength, or some of our regulars are on vacation. We thought Conan the Enforcer and the curious moose were pretty funny, but we didn't get a lot of comments.
This recap looks back at some of our most commented upon recent posts so you all can settle the disputes of who has the funniest captions in the land.
One more thing: We're looking for suggestions for theme weeks we can run here at Caption Call. We had mild success with Santa Week around Christmastime and with Fashion Week a while back. If you've got any funny photo trends we should be on the lookout for, let us know.
Without further ado, your funny captions of the week.....
We always thought it as called Flugtag, but in Moscow the festival with flying vessels is called Flugtan. This one was so perfectly crafted it looked like a cartoon picture, not a photo. (Getty Images)

Call us sacrilegious or whatever you want, but we hate Fleetwood Mac. Hate them. You won't change us. No one else really jumped on the hating Fleetwood Mac/Stevie Nicks bandwagon, but you guys took it in a pretty funny direction. (Getty Images)

Gotta love a horse with a steady job in this economy. Just kiddin', folks. This equine is attending an online electronic entertainment festival in Valencia called Campus Party. He found the perfect way to keep his identity secret, even though Getty Images came to snap his photo.
Following an unprecedented run of winners, the OTB began to suspect that someone was providing inside information.
