Thoroughly inspired by the Czar’s post (“More signs of the Obamacalypse er Obamaclipse er That Things Aint What They Used to Be For Ø Presswise”), I hereby offer ZC’s very first caption contest. Mind you, boys and girls, this is the easy one. It only gets harder from here on in.
To start the ball rolling, I offer my own caption:
“Gack! This is what you gave me for my birthday?” Then he said . . . .

…had I known she was one of Howard’s old girlfriends, I would have gloved up first.

HELEN: Leggo my arm! You’re killing me!
OBAMA: I know.

Where are the “Flatworm Police?”
Not around? OK…
Thank G-d you weren’t in the kitchen baking these cupcakes, Helen. There aren’t enough shoes in the world.”

HELEN (in a raspy cackle): Barack, call your damn denture czar cause I sure as hell can’t find mine.
OBAMA(sotto voce): I think i am sitting on them you old cow — now smile and look enamored.

Is that a stimulus package in your pocket or are you just glad to see me?

Beauty and The Beast.

OBAMA: Dammit, I thought Rahm said it was a photo op with the Madame of the White House Press Corps. This one will be out on the nearest ice floe once Obamacare passes.

More like “The beast and the beastlier.”

“Before I go to sleep at night, I check under the bed for you.”
This works with either of them talking.

Steven, that’s the second time today you got me. Keep up the good work!

Obama: Can’t I trade Birthdays with Biden?
August 5th, 2009 at 8:32 pm
Also very good.
August 5th, 2009 at 8:36 pm
“Steven, that’s the second time today you got me. Keep up the good work!”
I aim to please, Howard.

You can be my other white mommy now.

@Zoltan Newberry – Zolton, do you remember where you were (Joliet CC?) the first time a guy said that to you?
August 5th, 2009 at 9:29 pm
“Wait…ooohhh, that’s a candle. In that case, I’ll put my teeth back in.”
August 5th, 2009 at 9:45 pm
HT: “Cupcake! Give me cupcake!”
BO: “It sure is a fine plate of cupcakes! Ha-ha-ha!”
HT: “Now! Want cupcake now!”
BO: “They look good enough to eat! Ha-ha!”
HT: “Cupcake! Cupcake! Cupcake!”
BO: “I think I may just have to save these cupcakes for Michelle and the girls! Tee-hee!”
HT: “WAAAAAH!”

@fuster –
The flatworm police have a headache and so are less tolerant than usual of crude sexual innuendo aimed at the President. Anyway, I don’t think Howard and Barry have ever dated- but perhaps that’s in the “missing” Columbia years.
August 5th, 2009 at 9:51 pm
Thank you, Fuster.
You are becoming a connoisseur of Zolt.
Please send your address and I will send u a printable coupon for 10% off my next $1000 per hour workshop overlooking Mayor Daley’s rooftop garden in Cheekago.
August 5th, 2009 at 9:55 pm
Sorry about your headache, Barbara. You must be a bit disappointed with yourself.
August 5th, 2009 at 10:04 pm
@Zoltan Newberry – Send me your address if you have a yen for fresh Coney Island Whitefish.

Caption: THat’s no stimulus!
Like Steven@7, ths works with either of them talking.
August 6th, 2009 at 2:51 pm
Nice one, Bruce! Latecomer, but good.
August 6th, 2009 at 3:24 pm
A caption contest with no winner(s)? At least we should get a participation trophy.
August 6th, 2009 at 7:13 pm
I agree, nkh. I’ll take it up with management.
August 6th, 2009 at 7:35 pm
@nokarmahere: The only winners are ACORN and followers of The Chicago Way. The rest of us are just happyto be able to follow Dear Leader.
August 6th, 2009 at 7:38 pm
In a larger sense, you’re all winners.
August 6th, 2009 at 9:09 pm
I agree, Peter, but I think the executive committee, here at ZC, should confab, and provide a prize to the winner.
