"Okay, Frodo, it's time someone sat you down and told you what happens when little hobbits grow up - this is the story of the birds and the bees..."
Winner! And I don't see how anyone can beat it :D

HLG you must admit gnomes do look... cute. And how can you respect an enemy that looks... cute? And about that tactic of yours...:rolleyes:

Well, I actually just gave you my PVE plan. I just got my gnome to seventy a few weeks ago, and honestly her gear is still too green to do much damage against any long term player, so my PVP strategy is just running around AoEing to get as much honor as possible while mana shielded. Though, I am getting much better. If I could get damage gear rather than healing gear to drop in Kara I'd be a heck of a lot better off. I'm the only mage in the game with more plus healing than plus damage right now.

Waiting for picture here.

[Firawyn]

Sorry guys!

a) no transportation to net hookup!

b) seriously didn't think I'd ever win this game! :D

[HLGStrider]

I Like my socks. . .

[Durin's Bane]

My presioussss...

[Prince of Cats]

Don't I remind you of the bad guy from Ghostbusters II?

[Ithrynluin]

Some people like to read magazines while on the can, I like to read the palantir. So what!

[HLGStrider]

Ah . . . you can call me flower if you want to . .. I don't mind. . .

[HLGStrider]

Do we get a verdict?

[Firawyn]

Some people like to read magazines while on the can, I like to read the palantir. So what!

Haha, this one goes to Ithy.

Saruman: (scoffs) "You still using that beat-up old piece of fire-wood?"
Gandalf: "The Green Hornet's caught more fish than you've lied about, Gustafson!"

[HLGStrider]

Saruman: (scoffs) "You still using that beat-up old piece of fire-wood?"
Gandalf: "The Green Hornet's caught more fish than you've lied about, Gustafson!"

Brilliant . . . makes me want to try and start up the movie quote game again.

[Firawyn]

"What are you gunna do, put a spell on me?!"

"No, but I may pay a visit to your mother..."

"No! Not my mother!"

[Ithrynluin]

Saruman: "..where is the ring..."

Gandalf: "POW! Right in the kisser!"

I find the above the best so far. ;)

[Firawyn]

So...are we going to make a decision anytime soon? :p

[Ithrynluin]

Meh, none of those really did it for me and I didn't get Urambo's at all (as I'm sure noone got mine either, that's the danger of using TV/movie quotes).

I'll give it to Prince.

[Prince of Cats]

Gimmie a caption!

http://gein.vistech.net/~Mule/arkenstone.jpg

:D

[Ithrynluin]

Guy on left: "WHY ARE YOU SO SHORT???"

Guy on right: "Soooo ... you're all short and stuff?"

Guy in back: (thinking) Is that a midget??

[Turgon]

Bilbo: So I'm think of putting it up on E-bay!

or

Bard: Tell me again about these "batteries"

or

Thranduil: Arkenstoned more like!

or

Elf in Background: Why do I always end up guarding the porta-loo?

[Firawyn]

Bilbo: "You are getting very sleepy..."

[Ithrynluin]

Bilbo: I'm seeling these fine diamond replicas...

Thranduil: Don't move! There's a spider on your shoulder!

[HLGStrider]

Oh, I forgot. I'm radioactive!

[Nóm]

Elf in Background: Why do I always end up guarding the porta-loo?
Ithrynluin, wouldn't this win it if it were your picture?

[Ithrynluin]

Port-a-potty would have been the preferred wording, but yes, yes it would. :D

But I like all Turgon's entries, you should come here more often! :)

[Prince of Cats]

Elf in Background: Why do I always end up guarding the porta-loo?

Turgon is our winner! :D

Runner up would be Ithrynluin's first entry.

They are all huddled around the stone and that elf in the back looks like he is thinking exactly what Turgon said, wishing he could catch a peek at the little-man and why he was shining

[Turgon]

Yeah! I won a caption contest.

Mini-wave in celebration of me!!

:D

*ahem*

Anyway a bit of a weird one - but here goes.

What the heck is Marcia Brady doing in Lothlorien?

[Prince of Cats]

Guy on far left: Do you think one arrow will be enough?


Woman: I'll just push it in a little more ...

[Durin's Bane]

I told you not to shoot at apples when they are on someone's head Wilhelm...

[Firawyn]

Standing Man:
"He was caught peeking into your dressing room, m'lady! How would you have us punish him?"

Slumping Man:
"It isn't true! My nose got stuck to the door!"





(Okay, so who are the men in that picture anyway?:confused:)

[HLGStrider]

First man: All right, Jim, let go of the feather duster. We don't want to hurt you.
Other man: No, it's mine. All mine. I won't let you have it!
Woman: Give it to us now!
Man: Nooooo . . .

or


Wounded man: Dang, Galadriel, this isn't what I thought you meant when you asked if we could play doctor . . .


or

Woman: Now, will you style my hair or do I have to have Guido shove another arrow in your gut?


I can't figure it out either, Fir. I'm assuming that is Galadrel from the mirror like thing beside her and the flowery trees but I can't place the story.
PS Obviously, I'm trying to win by sheer volume.

[Turgon]

And the winner is!

*drumroll*

What the heck is Marcia Brady doing in Lothlorien?

Dunno why but it made me laugh out loud...:D

You're up Elgee.

By the way - the picture isn't from the books. Presumably just an elf who was wounded in an orc attack. Also suprised nobody went down the don't shoot the messenger route...:D

[HLGStrider]

She does look a lot like Marcia Brady . . . or is that just me?

Thanks, let me see. I was watching the movies this last week as something to do while my husband is working night shifts and I'm alone with babykins. There were so many stills I thought were just completely hilarious even without captions.

This wasn't one of them. This is a random google search image. Still, I think this is ripe with potential.

[Prince of Cats]

Aragorn: .. Leagolas?

[Firawyn]

Legolas: "Aragorn, why did you cut off your legs?"


:p

[HLGStrider]

I know it's my picture, but this would be my entry if it weren't.

Legolas: That is a really hairy spider. . .
Aragorn: Don't move, maybe it will go away.

[HLGStrider]

Can we get just a couple more entries? Two seems pretty sparse.

[Ithrynluin]

Playgirl photographer: "Yeah, just like that, we're looking for a scorching look of far-off wonderment, just hold it for one more second..." *CLICK* "Great job you guys, our 'readers' are gonna love this centerfold"

[Durin's Bane]

I have several ideas but every one around this line:
"Um... Legolas?"
"Yes... Aragorn?"
"Do you see what I see?"

Here are some of the best:
"As the two heroes stared unbelievingly they came to realise why Gimli always hid in the bushes to take a leak..."

or
Gimli:"Come on! It can't be THAT bad?"

or
"You wan't us to do WHAT?" Shouted both of them at PJ when hearing his latest stupid idea...

[Turgon]

Aragorn: Is that a bow in your hand or are you just pleased to see me?

:o

[HLGStrider]

I'll give it until tonight to see if we can get another entry or two and then call it.

[HLGStrider]

Yeah, Man, it was like best party ever, I mean like, there were all these hot babes and pizza . . . oh man were those babes hot. . .

[Firawyn]

"You've got to pucker your lips like this, and bat your eyelashes, and then you....SMMOOOCH!!"

[Ithrynluin]

Only two entries...:(

I like both of them actually, but Firawyn's just manages to eke out a win.

[Firawyn]

Ah! If I keep this up I'm going to have to merge some files to make room for more pics!

Here you go.

[HLGStrider]

Why, thank you. I agree my beard looks striking in this light.

[Illuin]

"If you build it..........he will come"




"Uh oh..... Legolas; look at Gimli.....I think he's hearing that voice again"

[HLGStrider]

Gimli tried his hardest but he wasn't sure his bedroom eyes had the intended effect on Galadriel.

[Firawyn]

Why, thank you. I agree my beard looks striking in this light.


This one wins. Elgee, you are very good at this! :cool:

[HLGStrider]

Thanks. Here we go.

[Firawyn]

"I...*huff* am not...*puff* fat!"

[HLGStrider]

Oh come on, guys, at least one more entry!!!

[Illuin]

Well, this is a really tough one mainly because - if I’m not mistaken, I believe he was sparring with Boromir.

But.......:D, if he was sparring with his future pal Eowyn, how about;



Merry!!! How often shall I charge thee? “Keep your wily eyes on the sword” ;)

[Prince of Cats]

Don't! (cling clink swoosh) Stomple! (clink clash) Mister Frodos (smack thwap crash) GARDEN!

[Firawyn]

I'll toss in one more:


"Wait! Stop! I need a ponytail! I cant see with all my hair in my face!"


:D

[HLGStrider]

Fir, I give it to the ponytail one. Grats.

[Firawyn]

Ohh...yay me.

Here you go!

[HLGStrider]

Aragorn (thinks): if he thinks I'm going to apologize for last night he had better think again. I'm not saying a word about it. If he wants to apologize first . . .
Legolas (thinks): one spat and he's giving me the silent treatment. What a baby.

Or

Aragorn: Don't let them see you're frightened. They can smell fear. . .
Legolas: If they can smell fear, what's the point of not looking frightened?
Aragorn: Come on, you dang elf, work with me here!

or

Legolas: And the brave adventurers stepped forward into the unknown . . .
Aragorn: Ah crud, Gimli, the Elf is role playing again.

OR

Legolas: I saw you blink! I win! I win! I win!

[Gilthoniel]

"Smelling something foul upon the air, Legolas and Aragorn suddenly realised why Gimli had stopped walking..."

A little vulgar, I'm afraid.. I'm rusty!

xo
G.

[Prince of Cats]

Aaragorn: I've got to get "Who let the dogs out" out of my head so I can remember my lines!

Leagolas, still in pose whispers, "hoo! hoo hoo hoo"

[Illuin]

"Aragorn; is that what I think it is?"

"It most certainly is Legolas.....and it has indeed been far too long since I have seen the majesty and beauty of the Big Mac."

[Firawyn]

Legolas: I saw you blink! I win! I win! I win!

This one is on you Elgee - I read it six times in a row - couldn't stop laughing. I can totally hear Orlando Bloom saying that!! :D :D

[Illuin]

This one is on you Elgee - I read it six times in a row - couldn't stop laughing. I can totally hear Orlando Bloom saying that!! :D :D

Hi gals, but "a caption" is not about that. It's about taking the image and facial expressions of those within, and coming up with a caption that fits those expressions, with little regard to the obvious. Hmmmm,….I see a bit of a bias here. Anyway, off topic…nice to formally meet you both. I’m sort of new here and I see you both are really active (and very nice people) in the forum. Looking forward to good conversation.

[Firawyn]

Illuin,

I'm trying to figure out how my choice for "winner" did not fit the description of this game that you just stated...:confused:

And bias? How so?

And it is pleasure to meet you as well. Welcome to TTF, long may you remain! Elgee (HGL Strider as I'm sure you've figured out by now) and I have both been on here for a long time...Elgee longer than me...and more active than me...:p

Yea I'm going to shut-up now.
Fir-

[HLGStrider]

I am the crazy cat lady. That is me. Yes. That is who I once was. They called me the crazy cat lady . . .

Anyway, maybe he means bias as in we've been voting for each other a lot and the last few pictures have been mainly either you or me . . . but I'll argue that that is simply because we play more. Everyone else is casual, but Fir and I are in the big league, we live for this stuff . . . or at least I do. Gives me a chance to be funny other than playing "beep, got your nose" with my baby.

If I had to give this one a caption off the top of my brain it would be, "Look, and now Bitzi the Wonder Horse will balance a gigantic golf tee on her head."

[Gilthoniel]

How about

"If I stay like this long enough, maybe he'll think I'm a statue and leave me alone..."

OR (Yes, the choice is yours!)

"Ringwaiths ARE like T-Rexes, right... They only see movement..
Please?"

xo
G

[Firawyn]

Ah, yes, I live for this as well...well for TTF... I think I should start introducing myself like this: "Hi, I'm ***, I am a huge nerd." :D

Here is my submission.


"Down horsey! I'm going to fall off and then the Ringwraith will eat me for sure!"

[Noldor_returned]

"Wow, I wish I'd saved up for the luxury model. Now I'm stuck with this unicorn...he's so lucky, flying around...he must get a lot of chicks"

[Illuin]

Anyway, maybe he means bias as in we've been voting for each other a lot and the last few pictures

Yes, and it was my way of saying that it’s obvious you are long time pals; and also saw it as an opportunity to introduce myself and say hi. I wish I didn’t arrive so late; a lot of the other games you played in the forum (that you probably beat to death and finally got tired of) seem like a lot of fun......like that “Odd One Out” game (hint hint) :D.

[Firawyn]

Illuin,

Feel free to jump into any of the games on TTF. I recommend "Odd Man Out", and "Guess the Pic".

They are challenging but fun - you can do research on The Encyclopedia of Arda (http://www.glyphweb.com/arda/) or you can buy The Complete Guide to Middle Earth (http://www.amazon.com/Complete-Guide-Middle-Earth-Robert-Foster/dp/0345449762/ref=pd_bbs_6?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1216169635&sr=8-6) (I own that, it's amazing!) It's a great way to learn - this game is fun, but I can't say I learn much playing it - the ones I mentioned above are the perfect playground for an aspiring Tolkienologist!

Fir-

[Illuin]

Thanks....and I have been playing quite a bit. You actually tried out one of my pictures in Guess The Pic (I'm new, but not that new.....we've talked before quite a few times indirectly). Also, I mentioned Odd Man Out because I want you to take a stab (you guessed once already) at my question ;).

Maybe I'll give this Caption a shot in a little bit (I'll never win - I stink at this), but I have no shame.

[Illuin]

Shadowfax glances at the Paparazzi and says to himself; “If I can pull this off; I will be immortalized; and shall forever be known as the father of the Unicorns”

[HLGStrider]

ooh, lots of entries. Gloats over her entries, scrapes them into a pile in the corner of her cave, and sits on them.

I'll wait until tomorrow to make a decision though. See if we can lure in one or two more vic . . . er . . . participants.

Oh, ps, saw your note on my website guest book, Il. Thanks for visiting.

[HLGStrider]

"Wow, I wish I'd saved up for the luxury model. Now I'm stuck with this unicorn...he's so lucky, flying around...he must get a lot of chicks"

The two people with the unicorn angle were an obvious win, but NR eked it out with extra points for calling it a horse a unicorn first.

Take it away NR.

[Gilthoniel]

Not one to be impatient, but how long are we gonna give him to come back?
My life is empty without Bag End entertainment!
(I know me asking this is hypocrisy at it's very worst..) :p

xo
g

[HLGStrider]

At least a day or two. NR is a fairly consistent guy.

[Noldor_returned]

Sorry guys been working non-stop all week. Falling asleep atm too...

Good lucky!

[HLGStrider]

I think we took a wrong turn back at Albuquerque. . .

[Prince of Cats]

Leagolas, looking at Aaragorn's horse, "Jeez, are you ever going to wash that thing?"

[Illuin]

"If we don’t find the rest of my Elves soon, I’m afraid I’ll have to cancel Christmas this year"

[HLGStrider]

Gandalf, in Geezery voice: Ah yes, I remember back in the day when this was all farm land, as far as the eye could see, pristine, open pastures, miles and miles of rolling planes . . .
Legolas leaning over and whispering: Aragorn, it's still farmland, isn't it?
Aragorn: humor him.

or

The band of brave adventurers were used to the fact that Gandalf road bareback but it was much more disturbing to find out that he also preferred to ride without pants.

[Gilthoniel]

"Right, so a Man, an Elf and a Wizard ride into Minas Tirith..."

[Durin's Bane]

"Last one buys the beer!"

[Firawyn]

Aragorn: "Gandalf, why do we have to ride all the way to Edoras in marching band formation?"

Legolas: "Yea, we look like idiots."


:D

[Prince of Cats]

Gandalf: "Yeah ... because I didn't want you dweebs to feel like petty elves and men :D"

[HLGStrider]

Aragorn/Paden: Last one to the Midnight Star buys.
Legolas/Jake: You're on!

And Elgee pulls off another obscure movie reference no one else will get.

[Firawyn]

Obscure? I must really be a nerd. Paden and Jake as in Silverado? Mid 80's I believe. I haven't seen that yet but I've read reviews, and it's on the list. :cool:

Where's NR run off to again?

[HLGStrider]

Oh my gosh!!! See it! See it now! Do whatever it takes. Best Western, completely epic, completely classic. Even has John Cleese in it. Jake is awesome.

[Firawyn]

*holds hands up in mock defeat* OK!

[Noldor_returned]

I'm back guys, and we have a winner. Thankyou to all participants, they all made me chuckle, something I needed. But,

Gilthoniel's tickled my fancy.

Gilthoniel, you're up

Or

Merry: Look at them, marching in a straight little line, so cute.
Theoden (Thinks): Should I warn him about Rohan fire ants and how you shouldn't get too close. . .

Or

Merry: No, please, do not sacrifice me to the gods of battle. I am too young to die. I'm afraid of fire. . .

Haha!! Loving all the entries so far! I'll keep it open for another day, I'll choose a winner sometime tomorrow evening, UK time...

EDIT: No further entries.. Hmm. I'll give it 'till morning, for any Americans.
Unless anyone has any objections?

[Gilthoniel]

Well... No more entries..
I really did love them all, especially HLGStrider's 'marshmallow roast'!

Lot of really good ones, but none topped this. Turgon wins again.

[Firawyn]

And didn't we just get accused of favoring each other? lol ;) Gosh.

[Turgon]

A bit of a strange one - but the look on Sam's face is priceless.

I call foul! I used that picture already.

I call foul! I used that picture already.


Uh oh! Does this mean a mistrial?

[Noldor_returned]

I say play it. Myself and others have never played it. Just so long as nobody uses any that were used before. But it's elgee's call, or Turgon's if he posts a new pic.

[HLGStrider]

I release my rights to the image and allow Turgon to continue. But no repeats!

[Illuin]

I say wait for Turgon to change the pic so everybody is into playing. If a few main players pass it won’t be as fun.

[Turgon]

No worries folks - I'll change the picture tomorrow and try and find something that looks a bit more original...:)

[Illuin]

Well I guess I'll take a stab at this one, even though this illegitimate
pic :D is taboo, and our Hidden King is, well hidden. This is for the cat people who understand:

Sam - No Shelob…bad!!! How many times do I have to tell you? It’s not a trophy, or a present. Stop bringing these things into the house!!!

[HLGStrider]

Sam: OK, before I let you come any closer, let's get this straight, in order for me to get super powers you have to bite me?

[Gilthoniel]

Sam didn't take the news of Frodo and Shelob's affair well...

[Noldor_returned]

Sam: What kind of mutant teletubbie are you? That TV on your stomach just glows and all...And I didn't want to sing a song about joyful slaughter! What's wrong with you?!

[Durin's Bane]

"Have you ever been stabbed with a blunt blade?"

[Prince of Cats]

"Good News: It's a Suppository! :D "

(lifted from Futurama)

[Turgon]

Um... damn. I forgot about the whole 'Shelob Gate' thing. I'm not sure if it's my memory or my innate 19th century laziness or a mixture of both.

Anyway gonna give the win to Illuin for his cat joke.

Sam - No Shelob…bad!!! How many times do I have to tell you? It’s not a trophy, or a present. Stop bringing these things into the house!!!

I have three cats myself and the eldest Timmy, brings me lots of 'presents': usually alive as I don't think he's quite got the hang of the hunting business. The amount of times I've had to chase mice around the kitchen and then look after them for a while just to 'see if they're okay' is unreal. He even dragged a live magpie in once (Tim is a big guy) - which was completely insane. Took me about 2 hours to capture the thing and get it out of the house.

Some really good replies though! Well done all...:D

[Illuin]

You can't see the older pics anymore, so the D.A. will have to let me know if this has been done.

Having a hard time with this one for some reason.

Wormtongue: Can you believe he said that? The nerve of some people . . .
Theoden: You have to admit, he's right. It's been awhile since we've gotten some sun. . .

or

Wormtongue: Tsk, young folks these days.

[Gilthoniel]

This isn't an entry

Nice one, Gilthoniel!


Thanks! Love how you felt you had to clear up that it wasn't an entry..
Somehow I just don't think it would've fitted in with the picture that well!
:D

Or

Theoden and Grima were surprised when no one else wanted to attend their "Men in Mink" club events.

[Prince of Cats]

Make like a Tree and look like Theoden :D

Theoden and Grima were surprised when no one else wanted to attend their "Men in Mink" club events.

Good one, Strider! I chuckled heartily!

Theoden: "Grima, I think I'm having a heart attack."

Grima: "Not now, sire, I'm busy Eowatcing."

:D

[HLGStrider]

My poor uncle just hasn't been the same since that tragic drywall accident last week.

[Noldor_returned]

Grima: What is he doing with that sword?
Theoden: It looks like...no, he wouldn't!
Grima: Yep, he's cutting his toenails.

[Illuin]

Hilarious so far; but I will wait for more posts.

"Look to my coming at first light on the third day. At dawn, look to the East."

[Firawyn]

Grima: No, sire, your scowl is not quite right yet! Do it more like this - see who they tremble with fear?

[Illuin]

Strider wins this one:

"Theoden and Grima were surprised when no one else wanted to attend their "Men in Mink" club events."

If you have ever watched episodes of “The Honeymooners”; seeing Ralph and Ed Norton's loyalty to the “Royal Order of Raccoons” (i.e. "E Pluribus Raccoon") you will understand why I find this VERY funny :D.

You’re up Ranger.

[HLGStrider]

Thanks! Here we go

Don't know why, but I immediately associated this image with music.

Gandalf (losing his sanity under all the pressure and responsibility): Hiiiiiiiighwaaay to hell!

Gandalf: Oh, lord, won't you buy me a mighty big blade?
My friends all wield orc-banes, I must compensate...

In case anyone was wondering, the first one is an AC/DC song, the second by Janis Joplin.

Gandalf (knowing they are about to grab his beard):


Look! It’s the Goodyear Blimp!!!

Gandalf:"Look up in the sky! It's bird, it's a plane..."
Hobbit:"Wait a sec... there are no planes in Middle Earth..."

It didn't come as a huge surprise when this wasn't chosen as the "America Wants You!" picture.

Gandalf: Expelliarmus! I have Godric Griffindor's sword!

@ NR, love the HP playoff!

Now for my turn...

Gandalf: Open sesame!

Hobbits to each other: Open what?

Hobbit 1: Hey, look at Gandalf's sword!

Hobbit 2: Shiny!

(keep in mind the TV show "Firefly" for that second one)

Sorry to be a little vulgar, but...

"Gandalf often got his big sword out to impress the ladies.."

"With his limited knowledge of the laws of physics, Gandalf's lightning conductor just wasn't quite right..."

Merry - "Elves and Dragons!!! Pippin; the white wizard has that old Dwarf Gillette Mach 5 blade Strider was talking about!"

Pippin - Well; it’s about time I dare say.

[HLGStrider]

Great so far, everyone! I'll make the call tomorrow. Hoping for one or two more entries.

When John Henry was a wee little babe a sittin' on his mammie's knee . . .

Aule was well known as the inventor of the popular game "Whack-a-dwarf."

"Fore!"

Whoh Ithy! What is that? Who is that? Yikes!

[Noldor_returned]

When the Sex Pistols meets Tolkien, the Gods throw hammers into crowds of angry British elves screaming "Bollocks" at the top of their lungs.

[Illuin]

It's Hammer, go Hammer, MC hammer, yo hammer
U can't touch this... break it down....
Stop... Hammer time!

or

(Ithy’s got me thinking of songs ever since his victory post)

Aulë breaks out into song:

All you do is call me
I'll be anything you need

I want to be… your sledgehammer
Why don't you call my name
You'd better call…. the sledgehammer
Put your mind at rest

[Gilthoniel]

It's Hammer, go Hammer, MC hammer, yo hammer
U can't touch this... break it down....
Stop... Hammer time!

To be honest... I don't think that can be beat.
:D

[Firawyn]

I tend to agree...I've got that stuck in my head now...thanks! :mad: ;) :p

[Prince of Cats]

I think the Gallagher reference was better :D

[Ithrynluin]

I didn't make sense of and couldn't be bothered to look up some of those references (Gallagher, John Henry), so some of you might do well to cater to the sloths among us next time. :D

Almost none of them quite hit home for me, but I believe this was a difficult picture to make a caption for. The one that appealed most to my innate sense of silliness was:

Or, my gosh! You mean some of us are FEMALE??? Which?

:D

[HLGStrider]

Hopefully this one is easy to do.

[Ithrynluin]

Legolas: Is that your axe or are you just really happy to be riding with me?

OR

Legolas *nudges Gimli*: Check out the expression on the guy riding next to us, I put an egg on his saddle before we set out. *snickers*

OR

Gimli *takes a deep whiff*
Legolas: Were you smelling my hair?!?
Gimli: Was not!
Legolas: Was too! At the next stop, we're switching places and you're riding up front!

[Illuin]

Oh man; Strider you’re really bad :D; I‘m so tempted to go places here; but that would be as they say; “uncouth”.
As for plan B:

Gimli: ‘Ha, I’ve got another one for ya‘; ‘Did you here about the blonde who shot an arrow into the air?’

[Noldor_returned]

I wish vulagrities were allowed...here's what I came up with, and I tried to keep it semi-clean:

Gimli: Should we tell Aragorn his fly is undone?
Legolas: No, I'm enjoying this way too much :D

[Aisteru]

Legolas: I know it's a bumpy ride but could you move your hands up just a little?



i also like how most of the captions on this photo have been inappropriate haha.

[Gilthoniel]

"...And as the pass they second hurdle it's Number 27, 'Striders Strides', in the lead, with Number 12, 'Lover's Perch', coming up just behind..."

OR

Legolas: "I wish I knew how to quit you!!"

[Starbrow]

How's this for a clean one.

Gimli! Stop tickling me or we'll both fall off.

[Firawyn]

Legolas: Why couldn't we ride the white horse? I'm getting black scuff marks on my designer elf tights!

Gimli: *shrug* Well at least now the other flaucy elves will have a good reason to look at your arse.

:D

You guys are a bad influence! Have to say, I love yours, Starbrow!

[HLGStrider]

I personally can think of PLENTY of clean captions for this one;). But that's just me. . .

I'd like a few more entries, so I'm giving it at least another day. Good work so far.

[Firawyn]

Aragorn: "Rollin rollin rollin, keep them doggies rollin, man my ass is swollen, rawhide! Get’m up, move’m out, wake’m up, get’m dressed, get’m shaved comb their hair, rawhide! Tie me down, tell me lies, pull my hair, smack my theighs with a big wet strap of rawhide!"


Elgee, please tell me you've seen City Slickers. Well, this is funny either way, I think, but it's more funny if you've seen that movie!

[HLGStrider]

Gimli *takes a deep whiff*
Legolas: Were you smelling my hair?!?
Gimli: Was not!
Legolas: Was too! At the next stop, we're switching places and you're riding up front!

This one wins.
Grats, Ithy.

"Really! Really! I swear. The fish was THIIISSSS big."
"Yeah, sure, Pip, we believe you. SUrrrrrrre. It was thaaatttt big."

[e.Blackstar]

At that moment, Frodo realized the foot-size correlation might not be such a joke after all...



(sorry, is that inappropriate?):rolleyes:

[Firawyn]

@ e.Blackstar...nice! :D Made me laugh!

As for mine...

Billy: "I'm telling you Dom, by the end of the last movie I'm going to be this much taller than you!

Dom: "You will not! I'm taller! Sean, Elijah, back me up!"

Sean: "Taller, maybe, but I think you end up with more brains by the end Dom."

Elijah: "I'm staying out of this one...where is that ring...I think it's time for me to disappear."

[Illuin]

Pretty clever there Fir http://smileys.on-my-web.com/repository/Laughing/lol-035.gif. That made me chuckle.

[Aisteru]

look at merry's left hand to make sense of this one....


Merry: Gotcha, Pip!

Pippin: (whiny voice) Merry! I though we weren't going to play that game anymore. My arm still hurts from last time!

[Illuin]

A visit to Rivendell 4 years after the War of the Ring.

'They look so real Sam.'

'They certainly do Mr. Frodo.'

Pippin: "You can't be serious! The three of you brought *no* pipeweed? Come on, guys :confused:"

[AraCelebEarwen]

Don't you guys trust me?

[Aisteru]

hahaha, my vote is for Illuin.

[Illuin]

Thanks; but yours was far funnier. I just go with the first thing that comes to my head; and usually it doesn't quite pan out. I think Firawyn has this one. You, HLG and the Prince are a close second if I were judge :D.

[Noldor_returned]

Pippin: And just what is quite so wrong about having my pants up so high?

[Firawyn]

Okay, where's da' judge? :cool:

[Illuin]

by Firawyn
Okay, where's da' judge?


Hey! Makin' fun uhda way I tawk? :p

[HLGStrider]

Is this where I get to gloat about Oregonians not having an accent?

We don't. I swear. No accent at all. . . We don't even have a lack of accent accent.

[Firawyn]

I only make fun of people who seriously lack personality. No that would be a negative in your case, my freind. :)

[Ithrynluin]

Pippin: And just what is quite so wrong about having my pants up so high?

You're up.

[Noldor_returned]

Wow! Cool!

Here is the pic:

Caption away!

[HLGStrider]

Gandalf: They sure don't make these staffs like they used to. . .

or

And now, modeling our classic robe and peaked cap, we have Gandalf. Notice how the folds accent his shoulders and how the cap draws down, smartly complementing his beard. . .

[Illuin]

Need a light Peregrin Took?

(ex-smokers joke)

[Ithrynluin]

Gandalf: "...and all the men and women merely players."

Producer *addressing the director* : "Told you we should have gone with a younger actor."

Director: *mumbles back* "Shut up."
*to Gandalf*: "Umm, Kel, wrong movie, love."

Gandalf: "Kel???!?"

Director: "What? I thought we were close enough for me to develop an affectionate nickname for you."

Gandalf: *in a sulky voice, while looking down and swirling his foot around in the sand* "Yeah, but you could've come up with something more masculine."

[Firawyn]

Need a light Peregrin Took?

(ex-smokers joke)

NICE!


Now me (dern you NR, I almost had that last one!):

Gandalf: "Don't look down, don't look down, I'm gunna die, don't look down!"

[HLGStrider]

Gandalf: I've grown far sighted in my old age. It seems there is some sort of label on my new staff . . . let's see . . . do not use in conjunction with Balrogs.

[AraCelebEarwen]

Singing in a operatic voice: "Somewhere over the rainbow..."

[HLGStrider]

Bravo! Bravo!

Ara, that's great.

[Prince of Cats]

Gandalf, under his breath: Now what is this thing doing now?? I better wave my arms around so the fellowship doesn't realize I have no idea how to use this thing!

[Ithrynluin]

Gandalf *thinking to himself* Oh no, I've forgotten the elvish incantation. Whatever shall I do......Improvise, Ian, improvise!

*pausing between each word*: "Ah ... shka ... glingeth ... karakorum ... iroquois...titicaca...belfast...cashew!!!"

[Aisteru]

Gandalf: I don't remember the Balrogs being that big.

[e.Blackstar]

"I know I parked SOMEWHERE around here..."


(love yours, Ithy!)

[HLGStrider]

Gandalf: There is an inscription on the wall. It is Aramaic. . .

[Prince of Cats]

Aaaaaaaaaaaghhhhhh

AAAAAAaaaaaaaahhhhhgggg

OOOooooooooooo!

[Noldor_returned]

Just a quick query...how many captions are allowed per person each time...because elgee you've done four, and I thought it was one per person

Correct me if I'm wrong though!

[Ithrynluin]

I don't think there's any limit...why stifle one's creativity?

[HLGStrider]

OK, I am hoping this works out. Rules are made in order to make my life easier in choosing a winner each week. If you have a problem with them, have a suggestion, or wish to insult my family and question my parentage, PM me. Or if you would like to vote for a winner PM me. I do not know how to delete a thread, so that is why I am not posting a poll. I will announce the winner next friday and post another pic. Again, if you have a pic you think would be good, PM me. OK, here's the first:


This is all the first post says, so it doesn't look like there are really any rules at all. Though the game has evolved quite a bit since then.

[Firawyn]

I find this moment quite profound. We're left to our own divices, no rules, and we still play nice...WHY WON'T THE REST OF HUMANITY TRY IT!? :eek:

I'll post another then, since there are no rules anyway...


"Down once more to the dungeon of my black despair!
Down we plunge to the prison of my mind!
Down that path into darkness deep as hell!
Why, you ask, was I bound and chained in this cold and dismal place?
Not for any mortal sin, but the wickedness of my abhorrent face!"



You had all better know what that's from!

[Durin's Bane]

"And now I spend my time looking all around,
For a man that's nowhere to be found.
Until I find him I'm never gonna stop searching,
I'm gonna find my old man, gonna travel around."

Or

"I'm an educated fool
So I don't know what it is I'm supposed to do
About this awkward situation
That's been forced down right upon me."

Or

"Dont know why I feel this way, have I dreamt this time, this place?
Something vivid comes again into my mind
And I think Ive seen your face, seen this room, been in this place
Something vivid comes again into my mind."

http://yoursmiles.org/ssmile/music/s0514.gifhttp://yoursmiles.org/ssmile/music/s0519.gif

[Prince of Cats]

I think how to judge it (which includes which entries count) is up to the person judging me responses. Personally, I make a point to say (not an entry) on any captions I post after my first one because if I were judging I wouldn't count multiple posts :p . But whoever is judging is really the only one who has say

[HLGStrider]

When judging I've always just picked the best out of multiples. It's more fun that way.

[Firawyn]

You mean like those who have posted several, you pick one of them on sheer principle?

[Ithrynluin]

While we're young, N_r.

[Firawyn]

Whose young? ;)

[Ithrynluin]

Fine - While they're young, N_r. :p

[Firawyn]

:D

Humm, how long as NR been MIA? Should we just move on without?

[Noldor_returned]

No I'm back I apologise but I was a bit busy over the last three days and my sister hogged internet use and this is my first chance...before school


And the winner is elgee with his Monty Pythonic reference to Holy Grail. At least that's what I assume it was

Go ahead elgee, and keep it out of Aramaic!

[Ithrynluin]

Aramaic has a creepy connotation, because it always reminds me of those old The Omen movies. http://i220.photobucket.com/albums/dd224/Metathronxyz/scared0008.gif

But I like the caption itself, it's not quite as good as my second one, but good enough. :D

[HLGStrider]

I'm glad you got that, NR, because I'm pretty sure I got the quote all fouled up.
This one is going to be easy.

[Prince of Cats]

Sam: AAAhhhhh!! That's too far!! Too far!

Gandalf: I still don't understand why you can't use your own Q-tip:rolleyes:
