Remember this photo?

I asked you to caption it in this post, last week. Well, okay. So it was more like 11 days ago, but we’re not sticklers for time here. And by “we’re”, I mean “me”.

Here are the captions that were ALMOST my favorite captions… but not quite:

Best caption by my dad (iSore in the comments): Ah, ears to you my love!

Best caption by my brother (iTex in the comments): “WHAT’S THE FREQUENCY, MEG?” (who doesn’t love a good REM reference?)

Best Duracell reference (by Nicole in the comments): Moms, they keep going, and going, and going…

Best Alice in Wonderland reference (by Sam in the comments): “I’m late, I’m late, I’m late, for a very important date!”

Best Playboy reference (from Dan in the comments): “I’m telling you, Hugh, we PASSED the exit to the mansion!”

Best Haiku (from Tamsen in the comments): “Thank goodness for roofs // That let my bunny ears breathe // And get some sun, too!”

Best Car Geek comment from my boyfriend (Gradon in the comments): “Hondas are multiplying like, well, me!”

AND OUR WINNER (because it struck me completely funny when I read it):

“No way that tortoise is winning this time… ” — commenter Nicole

Woohoo, Nicole! Classic reference, and unique in the bunch.

Nicely done, everyone!

And WAY to be completely mortified, Mom.

I’d say $5 on bunny ears was well spent.

Okay, folks, it’s up to you.

Caption the above photo of my mother (who ODDLY DID NOT REALIZE when I told her to TRY ON THE BUNNY EARS and OPEN THE SUNROOF and TRY AND MAKE EYE CONTACT WITH PEOPLE IN OTHER VEHICLES that HER DAUGHTER IS EVIL and would POST HER PICTURE ON THE INTERNET despite the fact that no one in their right mind PUTS ON BUNNY EARS without realizing someone WILL WANT TO SNAP A PICTURE and did I mention HER DAUGHTER IS EVIL.)

You can do a one-liner, a haiku, a short story… anything you want. Just leave them in the comments.

We’ll award a winner (I like saying “we”, even if it’s just me) in an upcoming post.

GO!
