What’s your caption for this photo?
I like to snap random photos of things I find amusing. I’ve been trying to find some use for them and I think I finally have it: Introducing “Caption Me Thursday,” a new weekly event on this blog where I post an odd photo and you give it a caption. How it works:
- Each Thursday I’ll post a photo here on this blog.
- You come up with a clever caption and post it in the comments section.
- Best caption (picked by me or a celebrity guest judge) will be announced in my free Writer’s Digest eNewsletter, which comes out the following Tuesday.
Also, because this is the inaugural Caption Me Thursday post, I’m going to give away a free copy of Writing Basics to my favorite caption.
Good luck everyone! Can’t wait to read the captions.
WINNERS ANNOUNCED
It’s with pleasure that I announce the winners of the Inaugural “Caption Me Thursday.” They are:
travisb7 — “Not only had she been a good wife, but Sara was recyclable, too!”
bjamison71 — “You’re throwing your wife away!”
Thanks again to everyone who participated and look for more of these in the future.

Hi Brian–is there a reason my previous comment / submission for the caption contest was not approved?
The reason: I was in meetings yesterday and unable to approve until this morning, as I have to do all of them manually. I try to go in a few times a day to approve, but some days I’m unable to.
So never worry. The comment will always eventually be approved, even if it takes me a little time to get to it.

*Not sure why this didn’t post yesterday:
After a disappointing Christmas morning, little Johnny decided that spell check was no substitute for good old fashioned proof reading when he didn’t receive the “Lego’s” he’d written Santa for…
(I stated this above, but I’m copying for you too, Michelle, just so you know there’s nothing wrong and I enjoyed your caption.)

Until you perfect your dumpster-diving can we keep the trash cans behind the house, the neighbors can see you.

This had me rolling! Reminds me of something out of The Onion.
Our new house (2012). In the front, the legs of the previous owner.
When she said she cut her legs shaving, she really meant it!
Married to Mary (the mannequin) for six months, neighbors allegedly heard Mr. Smith screaming on the previous evening, “You’re nothing but white trash!” and woke to find Mary on the curb.
Not only had she been a good wife, but Sara was recyclable, too!
“I said man cave, not manikin.”

Hmm, I guess when Susan wished for “shapelier legs” this Christmas, she didn’t quite get what she expected.
… It was free. And shiny. Who doesnt love a free, shiny ornament? (Fine! maybe I’ve had too much egg nog)
EDIT: Thousands starving in the world *and* these people have the audacity to throw the legs in the trash.
