Caption Monkey 69: The Ski's the Limit - Neatorama

Photo: Nationaal Archief / Het Leven / Spaarnestad Photo [Flickr]

This week's photo comes from the Commons, an amazing archive of photos on flickr.

If you can think up a funny caption, post it in the comments below. The funniest (as determined by me) will win an original drawing of a monkey (also by me). You have 24 hours to bring the funny.

UPDATE: We have a winner! It's pismonque, with "Adding insult to injury, Larry's wedgie was so massive it actually amplified his humiliation while slowing his escape from the bullies."

Yeouch! Thanks for playing, everyone! See you next time!

Sadly, the prodding of sponsors and the stress of his Olympic career awakened the suppressed childhood obsessions of the formidable Linus van Pelt, whose regression effectively drove him into obscurity and a hermit's life in the mountains.

After a sudden gust of wind deposited him a quarter mile back up the slope, Arthur rethought the notion of tucking his cape in for safety.

Hitler winning his first Olympic gold, but unfortunately the judges thought he cheated by wearing a cape.

Count Chocula, though snubbed by Wheaties, still managed to ski his way to marketing gold.

This is sweet. I wound up buying some wheels for my Saab from some guy on a Saab forum (hours away) and we had to guess at a shopping plaza to meet at partway. This would have been a nice help.

This is cool! It's a little buggy, though. I searched for a theater between Boston, MA and Philadelphia, PA, and it's #1 suggestion was "Theater, Augst, Switzerland." As we've come to expect from Google maps, it suggested that we swim across the Atlantic Ocean to get there. Fun times!

Gaithersburg has few places I would consider for meeting someone after having driven 6+ hours unless the search criteria included only chain restaurants. Besides, Gaithersburg is much closer to NY than Charleston. When I searched those cities all the results were south of Richmond.

@Rebecca: The "theater" issue appears to be a problem with the results returned for some Google searches. We found a similar problem with "diner" queries. In that case, the search always came back with a Swansea, UK location!

Maybe Google is trying to make us take vacations. :)

Try starting out in NYC with a friend in Paris, France.

Apparently we should meet for coffee in the middle of the Atlantic.

Similarly, friends in Miami and Houston can meet somewhere in the Gulf of Mexico.
