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…

Today’s Neatorama and Hobotopia’s Caption Monkey has a little twist: your task is to do your best to provide the funniest commentary on the recent toilet problem at the International Space Station.
But first, the story. Here’s what John Schwartz of The New York Times wrote:
Four words you don’t want to hear in space:
“The toilet is broken.”
The crew aboard the International Space Station is working on a problem with the system for collecting solid and liquid waste, which is a trickier proposition without gravity than it is on the Earth. Space toilets use jets of fan-propelled air to guide waste into the proper container.
A NASA status report noted that last week, while using the toilet system in the Russian-built service module, “the crew heard a loud noise and the fan stopped working.” The solid waste collector is functioning properly, but the system for collecting liquid waste was not.
The crew tried replacing one device, an air/water separator, and then a filter, but nothing seemed to bring the toilet back to full operation. Russian mission control told the crew — Russian Cosmonauts Sergey Volkov and Oleg Kononenko, and Garrett Reisman, a NASA astronaut, to use the toilet on the Soyuz capsule that is attached to the station as a lifeboat. But that system has very limited capacity, and so repairing the system has become an increasingly urgent issue.
As so often happens when there’s a plumbing problem, house guests are on the way: the space shuttle Discovery is scheduled to launch on Saturday, with seven astronauts aboard. The shuttle, however, has its own toilet.
You can simply come up with a new caption for the speech bubble above (yes, that’s my attempt at humor), or imagine a conversation between ISS and ground control, or whatever. Funniest one will win a free drawing by Adam "Ape Lad" Koford (a monkey drawing or any other critter … your imagination is the limit!).
Good luck!
Update 5/29/08 – Congratulations to trestleboy, who came up with the winning caption of “No. You misheard. The ship didn’t hit the fan.“

Photo: massdistraction [Flickr]
Folks, it’s time for this week’s Neatorama and Hobotopia‘s Caption Monkey game. But first, the story behind this photo, from Flickr user massdistraction:
I’m going to burn in hell for posting this…but here’s the story. Many years ago the little man went to daycare daily, while I worked full-time. He wasn’t yet potty-trained but would wander into their bathroom, express some interest (as the older kids used the potty) then wander out again. Usually. On this day he somehow managed to get himself stuck in the toilet. The daycare provider’s first instinct was to grab a camera and snap off a photo before helping him out. I was both appalled and amused (and felt guilty for the latter).
Now, on to the game: place your caption in the comment section. One caption per comment, please, but you can enter as many as you’d like. The funniest caption will get a prize: Adam "Ape Lad" Koford’s Meet the Laugh-Out-Loud Cats, which details the adventures of Kitteh and Pip in over 250 comic panels.
If you like Adam’s old-timey LOLcat cartoon (many found in his Flickr set), then you’ll love this book!
Good luck (if you don’t win, you can still get his book at Lulu).
Update 4/4/08: Congratulations to Nora whose caption “Mario Lied to Me!” won! Woohoo, way to go, Nora!

Whoa! I’ve been so busy with life/work/baby that I missed posting the Caption Monkey contest yesterday. But fret not, gentle readers, here it is.
The bird is a coot [wiki] – a particularly fat specimen of one, actually. Coots are named so because of their "coot" calls. No words whether those large toes help ‘em float on water.

Contest rules are darned simple: place your caption in the comment section below. One caption per comment, however you can submit as many funny ones as you can think of. You can also vote for your favorite caption, but not your own.

Girlfriend, she was gettin’ all up in my grill– and I practically put her litter through Ant College with all the acrylic wraps and gel fills she’s done on these claws.”

It’s time for another Neatorama and Ape Lad’s Hobotopia Caption Monkey game, but first, the story: that’s Sandy Hartness of Yucaipa Valley, California, who turned this poodle into a Ninja Turtle named Leonardoodle at the SuperGroom 2007.
What’s SuperGroom? It’s just about the hottest contest in creative dog grooming industry where first place winner gets $5,000. Too bad the Ninja Turtle didn’t win first place (how could it not? A travesty!). OC Register has the full story (and photo gallery, of course) – Thanks Julie Anne!
