Caption that Photo !

[Mee-n-Mac]

OK everyone, I just had an idea. (Hey, hey, hey I can hear that groaning. No groaning until later) I noticed one of IG's photos (The plane, the plane) in the random pics pile and combining that with a similar "contest" over at another forum I frequent (www.space.com) it occurred to me that we should have our own "Caption that Photo" thread. (groaning now permitted) The concept is to take (or otherwise find) a picture of something lakes regiony and have everyone add an "appropriate" caption. :eek: Once played out (or every couple of weeks) a new picture is put up for our amusement. What do you think ? RG's new avatar inspired me to resurrect this image ...

http://www.winnipesaukee.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=448&d=1117038602

for which I propose the following caption ...

Martian dad to 2 teenage sons: "Who drove the saucer home from the party on Phobos last night ?"

Now it's your turn to add a different caption for this picture.

ps - if someone can tell me how to imbed the image in the post w/o attaching it, I'd appreciate it. I wrapped the image tags around it but all I got was a link.

In other news...

Project Rock Bass has received Federal funding and procured a submersible research vehicle that will be deployed in a taxpayer-funded attempt to finally confirm or deny the existence of the elusive Rock Bass in Winnipesaukee.

Man Mcdude, those instructions are as clear as thick mud and one would need to plan on at least a 1/2 day to perform all of that. Can't you find an easier way of doing it?:laugh:

IG & RG you missed the underwater research facility in Lake Winnipesaukee. This is Rattlesnake Island. Head WNW. You must have used one of RG’s antique maps.

As reported on CNN this morning....."Authorities have cast a Lake's Region wide net searching for Pepper's secret lobster cooker. In an early morning brazen holdup....three masked men apparently posing as "Forum Festers" robbed Barbara's....I mean Pepper's restaurant and made off with the super secret device.

The FBI, in conjuntion with the CIA ( Culinary Institute of America), has pulled out all the stops in this case.

A spokesperson for the world famous restaurant stated later that Pepper won't press charges as long as her "Lobbie" (as she affectionately refers to the contraption) is returned unharmed. The spokesperson, identified only as "IG" says that Pepper and her highly trained chef Waldo, are devastated by the action of a few "Festers", and further stated that these theives can have all the wonderful lobster rolls they want....for a fee........"

You all thought that aliens came from outer space,
Surprise! We’ve been here all along in the lake!
Didn’t you notice how many UFO sightings there were in the Lakes Region?
And why else would the Navy be at Lake Winnipesaukee? We were having a summit!

Actually a post card, and on the back side is the following message (you have to stand behind your monitor to read the message)

"Dear Kbarliliztakk:

I landed in West Alton, Earth just like you suggested. However, it is not the quiet little spot you told me about. The place is crawling with aliens, and some of them are kinda wild. Just the other day, some of the female ones had a sleepover, and had what they called "guys" there as well. They make a big deal about the "ice" going out, and I can not, for the life of me, find out where it has gone out to. It just seems to disappear. Maybe we can do the same thing with the ice in the canals at home. They also make a big deal about "lobsta rolls", which evidently come from a creature that looks remarkably like your sister Hgvnretyy. I'm thinking these aliens must also be cannibals! They actually get these things at a place with an ancient flight machine on its roof. Must not be very good at flying, it never seems to go anywhere. Got to go, it's time to go over to a place called Minge Cove and see if there any more wild parties. Talk to you soon. Xaridhtihhhke."
