Name That Caption! [Pictures] . . . (participatory)
Alright, my friends. I have come up with a new Nonsense Game. Yay!
This game is fairly simple, but requires that you have a sharp mind, and an even sharper tongue. It involves funny(SFW, use your better judgment) pictures that are devoid of any text or commentary, so that they are open to interpretation. Then, those who see the picture will come up with a witty and clever caption that captures the hilarious essence of the photo. As an example, say we have this lovely photo here: Example Scenario click to show Get the idea? The person who originally posted the pic will decide who had the best caption for the photo, and then the winning poster will find their own funny picture for all to comment upon. If someone should fail to choose a winner, or if the winner doesn't want to post a pic in the following three days after winning, then I will just pick up the slack and resume the game. A simple PM to me will work fine as well. Got it? Good. Shall we start? THIS IS. . .NAME...THAT...CAPTION!!!

Alright, one week has gone by and a fair amount of participation has been posted.
It it is a start, and hopefully it will pick up in the coming rounds. So without further delay, the winner of this round of Name...That...Caption is... hotzot! I actually could not contain my boisterous laughter for several minutes thanks to that well-conceived phrase. Everyone else put in an honest effort, and they were good, but I favored the short-and-sweet one-liner from hotzot. Quote:

Yeah, it would seem as though hotzot has taken a hiatus. I originally intended for the rounds to last from 5-7 days, all dependent on the number of responses.
Hmm, as much as I hate to bump hotzot off his pedestal, I think it best for the game to continue. I personally found your caption, unclephil, to be the most strikingly-hilarious. EDIT: Also, for those of you that have been inquiring, it is best to be fair when you submit a caption for each round, so try to limit yourself to one very good one; or at the very least, if you think of a better comment later, wait until someone else has posted before you try your luck with another caption. That is all.

Oh crap, I didn't expect to win. I was just adding something so that I'd see when there were new posts in this thread. I'll be back with a photo, however.
...ok, here's the best I can find on short notice. I don't really have much in the way of suitable photos for this contest, but...

I guess that's it for this round. Sorry again that my photo sucked. But you elevated yourselves to the task nonetheless.
The winner is IT2002, for "Someday women will dominate as the most sought after content on the internet". I don't know why that tickled my fancy, but it did. Over to you!

Use an image-hosting site that allows fullsize pics, like imagesocket.com or imagehaven.net, then upload it, copy the image address, and finally put in [IMG] tags here.
EDIT: did you want to use your original photo as it was when I followed the address: Uploaded to supload.com, can you see it? EDIT: do not use the supload...

To do this once uploaded, click on the pic to show full-size, then right-click the photo and choose "copy image address". It should work, then all that remains is the [IMG] tags.
This is IT2002's photo: photo vanished EDIT: if you need to know how I did it, just hit quote under this post, or PM me. I is not that hard to do, but to find a good image-hosting site that allows fullsize pictures is a bit more difficult. One more thing, if you have problems finding the image address of a picture, whether it is red-exed or not, in any browser, just right-click the pic, go to properties, and the address(url) should be there.
