Caption This

While we're waiting for Hurricane Irene to blow up the coast and wreak all kinds of havoc and destruction, I thought I'd take just a moment out of preparations and plans to post one of the pictures from my July trip to Canada and see if you guys can come up with a good caption or two for it as a laugh and a smile is going to be greatly appreciated as things get progressively worse around here. My own caption obviously appears below!

So I says to the guy I was dancing with ... 

And on a more serious thought, I send out best wishes and good thoughts to all who are in the path of Irene.  If this thing goes as they fear, there's a good chance I'm not going to have power for at least several days once she makes landfall here in Connecticut but I will do my best to try to stay updated via cell phone if possible.  Luckily there's a generator at work so I should at least be able to keep my phone charged but who knows if AT&T cell service will stay up and running or not. Hopefully it does but if not, I'll update when I can.

See you on the other side and now, let's see who's funny bone is working!

Caption This

That thing we like to call "life" has been keeping me busy the past couple of days and I've been away from the home computer for a little bit hence a bit of a pause on my travels with Princess Patti throughout Northwestern Connecticut.  I get the feeling the big ol' snowstorm that's set to blow through Connecticut and the rest of New England is going to keep me away from the computer for a bit, too so in the meantime, I thought I'd do a "Caption This" post - something I haven't done in awhile.  Now go ahead ... amuse me!

Caption That Photo!

Today, like yesterday, has a lot of running around for various and assorted errands scheduled so I'm afraid I'm not going to have a lot of time for blogging until perhaps later this evening when I settle down in front of the TV and watch "American Idol". Being the professional multi-tasker that I am, I can watch Adam perform and blog at the same time!

In the meantime, though, I thought I'd use one of my pictures that I took out in California last week and see if you maybe ya'll could come up with a caption or two for it. I took this picture at the Seacliff Beach Pier in Aptos where the Palto Alto is located and felt that it looked like these two birds were talking to each other. That, in turn, led me to think that perhaps some of you comedians out there might have some fun with it

I'll be back later to see what you came up with but for now I've got an appointment with the eye doctor, lunch with an old friend, and a consult with Amanda's oral surgeon lined up. Hope you all have a great Tuesday no matter what you're doing!

Caption That Photo!

It's been awhile since I've done a photo caption post but that's probably because I didn't have any pictures that I thought might lend themselves to a funny caption or two. That changed after I uploaded some of the pictures that I took yesterday of Evra, Amanda's pet green anole lizard, who has become quite a favorite of mine since we moved to the new house as he seemed to change personalities completely once we moved here.

Prior to changing residences Evra would pretty much just hide in the plant in his habitat and scurry away if anyone came near. Now he seems downright sociable and doesn't even run and hide when I open the lid to put in fresh food. He's become quite the connoisseur of meal worms, too, which has caused him to grow quite a bit though he's still pretty small and nowhere near big enough to turn into a pair of shoes or a belt as Mo likes to suggest from time to time!

Anyhow, 'nuff said - time for some fun! Put on your thinking caps, warm up your sense of humor, and leave me a caption or two in the comments! Being that Evra is technically Amanda's pet, I'll let her pick the caption she thinks is best in a day or two.



Oh, and just don't ask him if you can buy term life insurance, he's an anole - not a gecko!

Caption That Photo!

All things being equal and work being work, time is of the essence yet again today so I am taking the easy way out and posting another picture and opening it up to you folks for some funny captions if you think you're up to it.

Being that I am using a picture of her, I'm going to let Amanda pick her favorite caption again once she returns from New Jersey later this week so here's your chance to pick on a 16-year old a little bit and have fun while you're doing it. Just remember to be nice - Amanda can be sensitive from time to time even though she probably doesn't like to admit it!

Caption That Photo!

While I was over at Mohegan Park snapping pictures last week, I happened upon this little fella who seemed more than willing to pose for a picture. Just like the geese I took pictures of, he was probably hoping for a snack but alas, I had nothing but my car keys and lint in my pockets. I'll know better next time I stop by the park and then I'm sure I'll be more popular than the Good Humor man on a hot summer's day!

In the meantime, have fun and give this little guy some words and we'll see who emerges victorious later in the week! Have fun but don't go too squirrely on me!

Caption That Photo!

Last time I asked everyone to write a caption for a picture, everyone seemed to have a good time with it and Travis' answer had me laughing for so long that I decided I was just going to have to try it again sometime. Well, "sometime" has arrived and after digging through my photo archives I think I've found a picture that opens itself to a myriad of different captions.

I took this picture back in May when one of my favorite paramedics, who also happens to be a part-time dispatcher, was filling in for someone who was off and working a shift with me. I absolutely love working dispatch with Andrew and don't get the chance to do it anywhere near often enough. With any luck, all of this buttering up will let me off the hook for using his picture for this post!

So, give it your best shot and leave a caption in the comments, after everyone has had a chance to play I'll post the results of the winner later in the week. Now go - have fun - and make me laugh!
