Caption Monkey 53: Prado Museum

Photo: Geoff Pingree / National Geographic Traveler Photo Contest

W00t! It’s time for Neatorama and Hobotopia’s Caption Monkey game – but first, here’s the story behind the photo, titled "Behold". It’s the Grand Prize winner of National Geographic’s Traveler’s "World in Focus" photo contest, and taken by Geoff Pingree of Oberlin, Ohio (he won a 15-day trip for two to Antarctica aboard the National Geographic Endeavor, which makes our prizes here on Neatorama look downright puny in comparison!):

Pingree, a professor of Cinema Studies and English at Oberlin College, took this photograph at Madrid’s Prado Museum, which was staging theatrical performances inspired by masterworks by Spanish artists. "The photo shows performers playing Spanish King Philip IV and his second wife, Mariana of Austria," he said.

Link – Thanks Marilyn!

Now, on to the contest. The funniest caption will win an original Laugh-Out-Loud cat comic by Adam Koford. Place your caption in the comment section. One caption per comment, please, but you can enter as many as you’d like.

Don’t forget to check out Adam’s blog for inspiration! Good luck!

Update 12/17/08 – Adam has picked the winner! Congratulations to Adam D. Jones who won with this caption: “You said everyone would be wearing a costume!”

    Lady Pullfinger was greeted with stunned silence when let slip a massive blast - massive enough to raise her dress.

    It was still obvious after 8 months of marriage that Mariana's Nanny and minder still did not approve of King Philip IV.

    The reign of this king of Spain sent the country right down the drain. The queen, it seemed, was quite cold and mean. (Probably from marrying her uncle.) So much for the monarchy!
