Farewell week: President Bush helps Caption Call come full circle

This photo -- Caption Call's debut, actually -- was by far our most widely-commented-upon entry. So what better way to say goodbye than to go back to the beginning.

So give us a good one for the ride home, everyone.

We'll still be at The Sun, contributing our musings on this season of "Top Chef: Las Vegas" to the Reality Check blog and maybe some other projects in the future.

Frequent captioner Patti mentioned in an earlier comment that we'd talked about a meet-up a while back. Anyone still interested? Or would it just be me and Patti?

It's been a great run...thanks to everyone for their loyalty. -- Liz

Farewell week: Attack of the crazy beer-wielding wench!

This photo has a particularly special meaning for us now, since one of our friends is going to be living in Germany next year and we're trying to make it over there for Oktoberfest. But we digress.

Write a funny caption for this photo and give it to us as a comment below.

Forgot what you wrote last time? Check it out here.

Farewell week: It's FatMan!

Whenever anyone mentions Batman, we always think of this Caption Call photo of a dude at Comic-Con 2008. Life lesson: Spandex doesn't work on everyone, dude.

Farewell week: Timmy may be big, but that's why we call him 'Tiny Tim'

To you Caption Call regulars, this photo may look familiar. We posted it during the first week we entered the blogosphere, and it's only fitting we do a retrospective of Caption Call's high points as we wind down. Yes, the plug is being pulled on us. We've had a good go of it, but it's time to leave on a high point.

All this week, we'll be looking back on our favorite photos from the past. Feel free to chime in and let us know which are your favorites and we'll think about giving you another shot at captioning them.

Check out the first time we saw these fat and tiny sumo wrestlers and browse some of those caption gems. And then give us your even funnier new gems.
