Caption Monkey 61: You Shall Not Pass!

This week’s Neatorama and Hobotopia’s Caption Monkey photo of a hamster named Piórko came to us via the always awesome Cute Overload. I think there’s more to this hamster than meets the eye.

As usual, the funniest caption will win a free black and white custom Monkey drawing from Adam "Ape Lad" Koford. Game rules are simple: place your caption in the comment. One caption per comment, please, though you can enter as many as you’d like.

And "You shall not pass" is taken, mmkay? Oh, by the way, that phrase is a variation of a World War I propaganda slogan "They shall not pass" made famous in the Battle of Verdun on the Western Front. J.R.R. Tolkien, the author of The Lord of the Rings, was himself a soldier who fought during World War I.

Be sure to check out Adam’s blog for inspiration. Good luck!

Update 6/23/09 - Adam has picked the winner! Congratulations to JB who won with this caption: I don’t mind the baths, but do you have to BLOW DRY?!?

Caption Monkey 60: Mmm, Dude … What ARE You Doing?

Posted by Alex in Caption Monkey on June 16, 2009 at 7:57 am


Photo: Vasily Fedosenko/Reuters

Every month, National Geographic publishes a very neat photo gallery called Vision of Earth. This particular one, from the June 2009 selection (third pic, you can see the uncensored version there - warning: clear shot of the behind of a naked, 69-year-old man):

Belarus—Naked on an 18°F day, Valentsin Tolkachev clears an icy canal for swimming. The 69-year-old started the Optimalists—a Minsk-based club with 200-some members—in 1989 to promote hale activities in rural settings.

Your task, after you wash your eyes, is to caption the photo. Funniest one will win a custom black and white Monkey drawing by Adam Koford. Place your caption in the comment section of this post - one caption per comment, please, though you can enter as many funny ones as you can think of. Good luck!

Update 6/19/09 - Adam has picked the winner! Congratulations to jj who won with this caption: The season’s first snow always reminds me of my childhood, of crazy Uncle Hank teaching me to swim like a man.

The First Lady actually requested Mr. T come to the party dressed as Santa Claus. This photo was printed in countless newspapers and magazines around the world.

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.

Photo via Ananova

Hooray! It’s time for Neatorama and Hobotopia’s Caption Monkey game. But first, the story: that’s Sara the Walrus who is trained to play the saxophone!

Under the direction of her trainer, Sara the Walrus grips the brass instrument between her flippers and blasts out a note.

Russian trainer Sergiy has also taught her to strike a nonchalant pose, leaning on a worktop with one flipper under her chin and looking bored.

Sara’s skills at mimicking humans extend to dressing up as a railway platform conductor and blowing a whistle. (Source)

Now, onto the game: 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 like.

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

PS Yes, Miss C wrote about Sara earlier today, but since I got this post prepped beforehand, let’s just go with it!

Update 12/3/08 - Adam has picked the winner! He really liked the non-sequitur-ishness of this one:

Orphaned by Man’s folly, [the orangutans] are unable to rely on their parents to teach them the ways of the animal world. So every day at the rescue centre which is their home, they are wheeled into the forest to learn.

Photo: lisascenic [Flickr]

For today’s Neatorama and Hobotopia’s Caption Monkey game, you get to caption this cute photo of Lisa and Robb’s cat Linguine:

Lisa and I have been having a chuckle over the thought that this picture of our dear little Linguine is, unbeknown to us, an internet meme – a fad, which becomes almost inexplicably popular on the web.

This picture was taken about two years ago. I remember at the time, it was a major achievement for me to stand and balance well enough to take a picture while holding a camera in one hand and a bamboo-skewered strawberry in another and convince a cat we like to call "Fidget" to cooperate.

Funniest caption wins an original Laugh-Out-Loud Cats cartoon by Adam "Ape Lad" Koford. Contest rules are simple: place your caption in the comment section. One caption per comment, please, but you can enter as many as you can think of.

For inspiration, don’t forget to check out Adam’s blog! Good luck!

Update 9/4/08 - Well, though not exactly a caption, Adam really likes this one by Catsvillage “Strawberry Felines Forever.” Since he’s da man, whatever he says goes! Congrats to Catsvillage for winning this week’s Caption Monkey contest!

Caption Monkey 37: Giant Zucchini!

Posted by Alex in Caption Monkey on July 29, 2008 at 7:17 am

Today’s Neatorama and Hobotopia’s Caption Monkey game is special … it comes from my own garden!

A few weeks ago, my wife Tiffany planted a zucchini plant in our backyard … and promptly forgot about it. Today, she discovered something strange about it. It has been very hot in Santa Clarita, California, so a lot of her plants didn’t make it - but this one not only lived … it also grew a humongous zucchini!

Just how big is it? Here’s the Zuc posing with our son 7-month-old son Zach:

… and our 2-year-old daughter Maddy:

So, for today’s Caption Monkey game, we have two prizes: One funny caption (chosen by Adam) will win an original comic by Adam "Ape Lad" Koford from the recent archive fo the Laugh-Out-Loud Cats, and another funny caption (chosen by me) will win a free Neatorama T-shirt.

Contest rules are darn simple: place your caption in the comment section. One caption per comment, please, but you can enter as many funny ones you can think of. Saying that my kids are cute will earn you good will, but won’t necessarily win you the prize, mmkay?

Good luck!

Update 8/6/08 - A little prize confusion here (sorry, only one winner and the prize is the free shirt) - the winner is TripleX, with this caption:

Our plan to destroy all vegetables by peeing in the garden backfired terribly, my young brother…

Wow (bow?) - today’s Neatorama and Hobotopia’s Caption Monkey game is a photo from a fantastic section of the Los Angeles Times that I’ve just recently discovered. It’s titled "Pets Behaving Badly," a gallery where you can submit photos of your pets doing things they shouldn’t be doing: Link - via Your Scene blog

This one above is titled "Separation Anxiety," and is submitted by OliB. I guess the dog really don’t want to be left alone!

Funniest caption will win a free drawing by Adam "Ape Lad" Koford (Check out his blog Hobotopia here). Good luck!

Update 6/5/08 - Adam has picked the winner! Congrats to tripleX who submitted the winning caption: “I hate ‘knock, knock’-jokes.”
