Memory Lane of Caption Contest Pictures

[Shatmandu]

Hiya, folks.

The main thread got hijacked a bit with past pics, due to Carl's birthday, so I thought I'd start us an entire thread devoted to shots from the past.

I'm afraid I don't have the captions themselves saved, but most speak for themselves.

At one point, I planned on starting an actual web site to archive the entries, but babies started falling out of the sky. If anyone wants to take that idea over, I'd be glad to help in any way I can.

Please chime in with any oldies you folks have saved.

Joe, historical

Not very good with the photomanips back then, I see.

There were always the Muppets, many of these created by Rat Boy:

And here are a couple of J. Allen winners. He doesn't come here often, but when he does, he makes up for lost bizarreness.

All right, here are my non-Carl ones. Well, at least the good ones, starting with my very first:

My absolutely favorite pictures to appear in any caption thread are these. How is your son doing, Joe? Do you have any new pictures to post?

"Dammit, Jim...next time how about we avoid the Planet of Bouncing Bettys?"

"Are those giant Slim Jims...or is Landru just happy to see me?"

"This week on the show we're going to remodel a late 23rd century Constitution-class sickbay office with some new plaster, a load-bearing wall made from duranium and some potted plants!"

There, that ought to cover everything up to the current caption contest. Again, at least all the good ones.

[Sir Rhosis]

Though I rarely post captions as I'm simply not very clever, I love the hell out of these childish things, and want all and sundry to know they do give me a laugh, especially in trying times. The Carl Spock retrospective was fantastic. And Rat Boy, I did figure out how to download the pic.

Sir Rhosis, too lazy to do a PM

Aw, I'm getting all teary eyed wandering down Memory Lane. I know some (even staff ) find these contests vulgar and unfunny, but I'll admit that the Caption This! thread is almost always the first one I check when I hit the forum.

Then, and only then do I go get a drink. I've learned not to get the drink first.

Keep up the good work guys!

Some of my early wins

Next on the Korielly Factor

Spock didn't realize Rand had tied in the tablet to the Bridge monitors.

Spock's revenge.

Someone else did the M'ress/Kirk scene and I placed it in the viewscreen. The caption involved blackmail.

It didnt win but I liked it.

Shatmandu used to be a frequent guest-star.

SULU: If he's out there...then who's behind us???

This was my avatar for a bit. The Last Starship To Clarksville.

This was my avatar for a bit. The Last Starship To Clarksville.

I love those.

Ensign Jones Produces "Meet the Mugatos"

The disguise almost worked.

Transporter malfunction.

Carl's Shuttle.

KIRK: Nice buns on the new yeoman.

The new uniforms for female crewmembers went over quite well.

Someone else did the M'ress/Kirk scene and I placed it in the viewscreen. The caption involved blackmail.

Actually, I just rendered a polygonal M'Ress in an otherwise empty cabin with a bad pun about receiving "kitty" porn. You displayed some masterful cropping skills by removing M'Ress from the original background, matting her into the shot with Kirk reclining upon his bunk, and scripting a far more amusing and somewhat more tasteful joke. Basically, you turned my "sow's ear" into a "silk purse".

Sincerely,

Bill
