Caption Competition

Jim West was clever enough to post a picture of himself on his blog yesterday, as a young 23 year old. Given his recent malicious rejoicing about the results of some stupid internet linguistic analysis programme (which apparently rated my blog as Junior High level reading), I thought it fitting to dedicate this caption competition to his picture.

As West wrote: ‘I do think it’s funny that Tilling’s blog comes up at a Junior High level. None of us needed a random computer program to tell us that…’. In light of this unspeakable impertinence, please submit the best caption you can think of for this picture. Nothing will be deleted from the comments (unless it fails to exercise suitable revenge on West):


My suggestion:

“Cher, just minutes after her operation, looks in the mirror and has second thoughts”

The winner will be selected in the next few days and will win a bottle of CTRVHM Holy Phlegm (smear on body to cure all sickness and deliver from all demons).*

* Post and package not included

OK, let me get the ball rolling on this one with a couple more caption ideas (having just read West's response)

‘Men’s Toupee. Black. Style: Academic Mop. $33’
Or
‘West models the famous Pubic Hair Toupee’

Jim said...

I would remind you hateful, hate filled lot, that it was the 80's and so the clothing and hair are quite normal. (Hateful dad gummed sots).

"Dangnabbit, Danny boy, that was quite the backrub!"

(A follow-up to my previous comment, of course.)

"Dammit! I thought I set the camera for 20 seconds. Now the world will never see me in my pious pose of prayer. Well, at the least, I have managed to hide my volume of 'Die Geschichte der synoptischen Tradition'."

Jim said...

Um, thanks, Dan, I guess, I dunno. Maybe Chris would appreciate the backrub more than I.....

Danny Zacharias said...

"Having just eaten spicy food, but knowing the camera was about to flash, Jim leaned over and lifted his leg as discreetly as possible."

Owen Weddle said...

"Ugh... I can't believe I wore a blue shirt with blue jeans and without a belt."

or

"Is my hair line receding?"

or

With an evil eye and a diabolical look, West thinks "I will kill you Chris Tilling, I will kill you."

or

"Let me bow a knee and worship Bultmann."

or

"Let me bow a knee and worship Joel Osteen."

Ben Myers said...

His body was braced for action, his spectacles glistened in the sunlight, his dark eyes gleamed with a steel resolve. When at last he spoke, his voice cut through the air with icy determination: "I won first prize last year, and I'll damn-well do it again this year!" And so, off he went to the local spelling bee.

Jim said...

I think I like Ben's best... So far. the toilet humor ones are, well, literally, beneath me.

Brandon said...

Let's see ... where did I leave my 8-track of Journey?

Jim's reaction after losing the lead role in "Xena: Princess Warrior the Movie."

What's he hiding with his right hand? Adorned in his favourite pastel pink cardy (not cream), Dr Who? in one of his many guises, becomes Doctor gone west in 1980woteva. He's hiding his mini compact computer thingy brought back from the future, on which he's googled "Zwingli" on Wikipedia to give him the info with which to enlighten his future fallen fellows. Or is it those chocolates he's forever binging on?! No it's a cat. He's secretly adoring and stroking his feline friend. However, soon he will sneeze.

"I'm pretty sure there's a lot more to life than being really, really good looking. And I plan on finding out what that is."

Chris Tilling said...

There is some funny crap here. I would simply encourage people to exercise less mercy in the comments ...

Jim said...

Less? In 8 days you will rue that comment....

Glenn said...

Caption:

"Bill Gates stole my design and my look. But at least I can go on to live a menial life in Tennessee and try to make a name for myself on the Internet. If Chris Tilling can do it, then anyone can do it!"

Jim said...

Glenn since you're an engineer one can't expect you to have either sense or a sense of humor. So I forgive you.
