I should have mentioned that the caption is not limited to humor, as you might guess. Use whatever emotion you want to write your caption. Let the photo speak to you.

Either I've seen that picture going around the internet a couple years ago, or I know that woman. She looks mighty familiar.

Louisa, I don't think you've seen it. It's from my persoanl photo album. It's my aunt.






Just kidding.

Re: FORUM CONTEST - Your Best SHOT! - 10/08/08 01:14 AM

Gims, I used to have a boyfriend who did the best Groucho imitations. Sometimes he would do his act in the middle of a store, popping his head over the aisles and freaking people out. Gosh he was funny; but just as scatter-brained. Do you think young kids today even know who Groucho was?

Another girls’ weekend? I need to win some money and join you. Chick, You wouldn't happen to need a model for one of your cute little clay creatures? Just not a nude one dude! laugh

Re: FORUM CONTEST - Your Best SHOT! - 10/08/08 05:24 AM

heck no, EW... if they do, it'd surprise me. They know who the 3 stooges are, though. We had a tape of those nuts!

Re: FORUM CONTEST - Your Best SHOT! - 10/08/08 04:33 PM

EW, one of these days when I get situated, I would like to try doing real people. Your grand-daughter would make a beautiful little fairy.
Maybe I should do a nude boomer too...not so much smoothing of the clay. wink
Thanks Speaker. I love caption contests.
