O Caption My Caption! Steven Sykes & Tendai Mtawarira 4/3/11

April 3, 2011 by Rey 10 Comments

There is often nothing funnier than capturing a facial expression or occurrence at the right time, or, should we say, the most inopportune time.

I challenge you, loyal readers, to view the picture below and provide a captivating caption that will cause “the shores a-crowding” with “people all exulting.” Should you provide the wittiest of captions, for you the flag will be flung and the bugles will trill.

This week, we have a couple of rugby players using an interesting strategy to advance the ball and avoid being tackled. Quite a feat of strength if you ask me:

You’ve got the context, now make like the father of free verse and create the best caption you can in the comments below.

    “Uh, Tendai? I suppose now would be a bad time to tell you that I ate Mexican last night.”

    The league’s financial woes were never more apparent than when the Sharks were presented with the league’s new championship trophy.
