Well, since we hit 47 posts on the old thread, I figured it was time for a new one. Let's see what you can do with this picture. *grin*

cat: that was a long appointment.
clark: what?
cat: you ran out of the newsroom five hours ago, saying you'd forgotten a dentist's appointment.
clark: oh, that appointment. yeah. it was... uh... a thorough cleaning. see?
---
cat: clark, i don't know how to say this, but you've got this strange heavenly light shining down on you.
clark thinking: i can't tell her about that accident with the florescent dye that superman cleared up. gotta think fast.
clark out loud: really? wow. that ultra-brightening toothpaste must be better than i thought!
---
clark: i am the ghost of christmas past! <evil cackle>
cat: oh yeah? well, i am the ghost of cristmas presents. wanna to go somewhere and... unwrap?
perry: judas priest! can't anyone get anything right? take this seriously, people! the daily planet christmas pagent is only two weeks away, and you're still messing around! clark, what did i tell you about making that face? that is not an appropriate expression for a ghost! cat, stick to the script! and jimmy! get that light fixed already! it is not supposed to be shining on the back of his head!

clark: what?
voice: you have been chosen.
clark: for what? and what's that giant floating arrow thing? why is it poking me? what's that clicking sound? hey, that tickles!
lois: <sigh> things just haven't been the same since they put us on DVD...
---
clark: hey, what's this?
lois: it's a sculpture or something. they're doing a sidebar on it for the arts page.
clark: a sculpture?
lois: yeah, it's supposed to make some statement about how, no matter what the fashion industry says about a woman's figure, we're all models, and we should learn to see our inner beauty. or maybe it was that we're all mindless puppets who are told what to wear and how to act, and it's all decided by the whims of big corperations. something like that.
clark: all that from a maniquin with a mirror for a face. okay. well, whatever it's supposed to mean, maybe it'll help me figure out why this tooth feels funny...
When in doubt, think about penguins. It probably won't help, but at least it'll be fun.

Cat: ...so then she just kinda glares at the guy and shows her teeth--just like you're doing now--and all of a sudden, this thing shoots out of her mouth and goes down the guy's throat! Of course the *really* gross part was later in the movie, when this weird, ugly creature pops out of his stomach and he dies. Gee, I'm sure glad all that stuff is just fiction; I mean, it would be wierd if aliens were really like that! Don't you think so, Clark? CLARK???

hmm. well, been a couple of days, and no new captions. so, time to move on. looking through the posted captions, it's a tough call, as usual. some real good ones here, and so different, too. otoh, i've also noted that i seem to be the only one who looks at the pic and thinks in terms of the angel on the right shoulder and the devil on the left. then again, their expressions aren't particularly condusive to that idea. oh well. back to picking a winner. too many good ones! well, no such thing, really, but it does make it hard on me. i think, tho, that i'm going to have to go with the one that came right out of the blue (both the caption and the poster, come to think). it doesn't really make sense, but that's part of the fun. Superman just wasn't powerful enough to defeat Ymir, the frost giant. Triple heat vision was needed to melt that much ice, and so the Man of Steel called for help from Ultra Woman and... Bikini Girl! you're up, phil! Paul

well, it doesn't look like phil's going to be checking back, so i guess we should have someone else post the next pic. i tried to choose another winner, but ran up against some problems. basically, i liked too many of them, and i didn't want to insult any perfectly good captions by not choosing them twice. so, i picked out my favorites, then resorted to a nearby lucky canadian penny i randomly found on my desk last week. the penny has chosen...
rivka!
congratulations, rivka! you write good captions, and are loved by small bits of canadian currency.
Paul
p.s. for those wondering, i keep a canadian nickel in my walled because i think they're cool (they actually still have a noticible nickel content, as opposed to american nickels), and i have a vague memory of some well-meaning family member finding a penny from our last trip to canada, remembering that i liked canadian coins, and giving it to me. i put it on my desk, where it was promptly lost for some length of time, only to resurface in time to help with my caption dilemma.

"Well, yes, you see, I suppose it was a dangerous situation, being held captive by six large men with guns, but an intrepid reporter like me doesn't let things like that intimidate her! All I had to do was wait until they had me surrounded and then I flipped my hair like *this* and one went down. And then I flipped my hair again, and another one went down! And I flipped and I flipped and pretty soon, they were all unconscious and I could just walk out and call Henderson. Really, Perry, I don't know why you think I should have called for Superman ... I'm perfectly capable of taking care of myself."

okay, looks like it's time for a new pic (and a new thread). that means it's time for me to pick a winner. why must you people make it so hard for me? yes, i love reading the captions, but then i have to pick just one...
alright, alright.... reviewing in my current mood, the winner is...
william shakespere!
what? ... oh. so, he can't post pics? ... you'd think he'd still have net access... you sure? ... okay then. ... the winner is...
