Okay, I think it’s time to kick off another Caption Slugfest!
As per the very simple process established in our first slugfest, add your caption [1] for the whacky photo above in the comments section. After a reasonable period of mourning the team at Voodoologic will use cutting edge technology along with whatever their horoscope says for that day to decide the best caption and this will be printed and taped to the wall in a toilet in a secret location known only to the 800 or so people who work there.
Update: 10 Mar 2008
Well, the ballots are in, they’ve been counted, recounted, they’ve had beer spilled on them and, in one memorable instance, they were mailed to a video repair guy along with a death threat, but the team at Voodoologic are pleased to announce the winner of last week’s slugfest:
It was the very last thing that the startled Captain and Co-Pilot saw approaching them at speed as they made a forced landing at Baghdad International.
Some might see this as a controversial decision, since our very own Darren Saturday was responsible for this caption, but as he so eloquently explained in a telephone call at about 3am this morning, “You better pick that one about the airport, numbnuts, or you’re not just toast, you’re frickin’ croutons!”
And I couldn’t have put it any better myself.
Special mention goes to Jacki, because let’s face it, Steven Seagal is so amazingly cool that just typing his name makes me want to sit down and rock back and forth [2], so any post that disses him is just that much cooler.
Thanks to everyone, and I’m already looking forward to the next caption slugfest!

“Steven Seagal’s got nuthin’”
God, I suck at these things. Sorry. That’s the best I can do.

Omah signals Fazir as he ‘reverse parks’…It was later found that some inconsistencies existed in the translation of the Driver Training Manual.
Hamid draws the short straw in Toyota’s new two-wheel drive three-seater.

In 2032 when the worlds compressed air crises hits home.
People were always asking Stark Raving Duncan how he originally came by the name…
The Brothers Sahid were the most unusual entry into the 2008 Cannonball Baker Sea-To-Shining-Sea Memorial Trophy Dash aka Cannonball Run.
Apparently they had a cunning plan of only using lane and alleyways to get the jump on the other contestants. Of course – as soon as they hit the open road they’ll just have to rely on their collective devil-may-care charms and amulets.
As Mustafa saluted the passing Kuwait dignitaries he really hoped that the recent budget cuts to the armoured division wouldn’t be overly noticeable.
…it was only then that the driver Najaf noticed the road ahead was covered in perfectly round sand coloured marbles. He said “Eep!” and closed his eyes.
Olaf, the Swedish photographer freelancing for Reuters, tensed as his trigger finger hovered over the camera button in anticipation.
Always a patriot, Alganon felt it was necessary to stand and salute while Gunther did everything he could to avoid plowing through the marching band.
Sadly…
Pietr failed his driving test for a number of reasons, only one of which was that he had spent most of it standing on the roof.
Trevor awoke from his blackout. The relief that this time he wasn’t upside down whilst flying through the air wielding a tomohawk was somewhat short-lived.
(Recycled apologies to M@M)
“The Sarge was right,” Trevor thought bitterly to himself as he stood precariously on the cars window sill while the Sarge veered dangerously along on two wheels, “you can see the carpark from here!”
(and another, once again apologies to M@M)
Still reeling from the results of the last competition…The judges were once again forced to give Trevor extra points for Technical Difficulty, but he still found himself cut from the final round due to another controversial interpretation of the tango.
Oi! You made me laugh, so no need for apologies!

“Wait,” said Devilish Tony, “I’ve got an even better idea!”
Agent Bernie Smathers had learned to trust his instincts, and his instincts were telling him that the surveillance team had finally given up on being subtle.
When the Davidson Family ordered the *premium* delivery service from Pizza Hut… this was not quite what they had in mind.
Todd and his three brothers were really serious about test driving the Jeep before they purchased.
2000 kilometers away, Nev paced about his dealership and started to entertain some serious misgivings. It had been a couple of days now and with no Jeep in sight he was starting to feel a little anxious.
The inquest would later learn that Funky Funk And His Funked Up FunkStars had kept it funky right to the bitter end.
“There’s something you don’t see every day,” muttered Bernie Smathers as he whizzed along the interstate, “that jeep had left-side steering.”
Despite being relegated to the roof, Hamid’s body odor was beginning to affect mustafa’s ability to keep his eyes on the road and his hands on the wheel.
Training for Turkish Idol, Mustafa gives his best Benny Hill impression while his friends practice distracting the judges.
“Ah,” said Bernie Smathers, looking out over the classroom of new inductees, “now this is an example of what not to do when parking a customer’s car. Can anyone spot the mistake? … Anyone?”
Well, goodness, what a turn out for the slugfest! I think full credit goes to the bizarreness of the photo itself, so well done those crazy Saudi guys.
I have no idea who should be credited with best caption.
I particularly liked this effort by Saturday:
Stark Raving was obviously in a Meta Humour mood, and while I liked his entries, most of them were quotes of my entries from the last slugfest, so I think points should be deducted for that.
I also liked this from The Creature:
But since I couldn’t figure out which one would be Hamid (personally I’d hate to be the guy with his face pressed against the glass) I’m not sure it gets the final nod from me.
What does everyone else think?

Having just been exposed their first ‘Penthouse’ article it was obvious that Hamid and Fizik had misunderstood the terms ‘getting it up’ and ‘standing at attention’.
(cont)…of course after the climax there was a lot of moaning and they both ended up limp and flacid.
“Stark Raving was obviously in a Meta Humour mood, and while I liked his entries, most of them were quotes of my entries from the last slugfest, so I think points should be deducted for that.” – M@M
The judges were forced to give Stark Raving bonus points for hilarity, but he found himself cut from the final round due to his controversial use of meta-humor.
Oh and my vote goes to the ‘subtle surveillance team’ or the ‘penthouse’ comments…yeah the ‘penthouse’ one – that blokes really clever (and modest).
