Boogers! Caption Contest
May 27, 2011
I woke up this morning and I thought to myself, “We haven’t done a caption contest in ages. So gosh darn it, we’re going to do one today.”
“But what image will you use?” a voice suddenly asked. “Don’t you normally do a caption contest when, in the midst of researching a clever and captivating article, you come across an image that just begs for a humorous caption? Isn’t that the honest way caption contests are born? Hmm?”
And I thought, “Who is this person asking me questions? And why does he sound like Niles Crane?” And I went to Wikimedia Commons and entered “boogers” into the search box. I got this:
I mean is that a photo asking for a caption, or what? (What does it have to do with “boogers”? See below.)
Rules: Think up a brilliant, gut-busting, guffaw-producing caption for this photo, enter it here, or on our FaceBook or Twitter pages, as many times as you like, and wait until it’s announced that someone else has won the contest. (I mean that’s true for most of you, right? Only one person can win. Have I said to much? Should I stop talking now? …) Winner gets an Uncle John’s Bathroom Reader of his or her very own choosing. (Woo hoo!)
Sample caption:
Betsy said karate-chopping a keyboard did wonders for her skin.
.
You have until midnight Monday night, PDT. Ready? Set? GO!
(The photo is of Belgian pop star An Pierlé. It was taken by Chantall Boogers.)
“This one goes to my main man Biggie up above. Rest in peace Notorious.”
I can name that tune with one note, Uncle John.
Sadly, Betsy’s attempt to distract the audience from her poor musical skill by pointing at an incoming UFO was not successful.
Betsy hoped that pointing upwards would distract the audience from her obvious lip syncing.
LOOK EVERYBODY!!! I DID FIND GOLD UP MY NOSE!!! SEE!!!
Betsy thought having an index finger would impress the audience.
She was wrong.
Her armpit as usualy, is lip synching for her.
This is my favorite “gold digging” finger.
now for the finale…trying to do the splits while still playing and a finger in the air = FAIL!!!!
In order to prove it IS possible to play chopsticks with one hand, Betsy raised her free hand for everyone to see.
You don’t have to use “Betsy,” yeah? You know this, right?
While playing the theme to Jaws at this years Boogie-bonanza, the Mucus Queen dramatically demonstrated the proper technique to eat a booger…..
With confidence, she exclaimed, “I will now send these notes into right field!”
teenage Lady Gaga trades her accordion in for her first organ.
“Look, up in the sky, It’s a bird, it’s a plane!!!
Keeping everyone distracted with her one handed version of “Chop Sticks”, Betsy thinks she gets away with flinging one off her finger to stick to the ceiling!!
In this modernized spelling bee you must play an instrument as you spell. Betsy (miss over achiever) took it one step further and dug in her nose with her index finger to also demonstrate her word: B O O G E R
“I don’t care how well the ball game is coming in when I hold this pose, we still need to get a regular antenna!”
“I finally found gold!”
I’ve got blisters on me fingers…
look! i finally shaved my pits!
Betsy responds enthusiastically to the question:
“How many fans were at your last concert?”
Raise your hand if your “sure”.
In a moment of blonde confusion, over-achieving Betsy went from singer to acrobat as she cartwheeled over her organ while pointing to a heckler in the upper deck
look, ive got a booger! Which is ironically the same color as my dress……..
“Horton, I heard a Who on my booger!”, “Come and get it, for a persons a person no matter how small.”
And now, as is tradition, the royal keyboardist throws her right hand into the air and casts a lightning spell upon the audience.
Will the world accept a white girl stand-in for Michael Jackson?…only in Europe, lol
CONTEST OVER! Winner announced in post above this one! Thanks, everyone!
