Fractured Hearts ~ A Caption Contest - No more entries.
http://www.menewsha.com/img/23197/34...26b42802dd.png art by ToriKat ~ banner by Sizzla <3 a Valentine/Anti-Valentine Caption Contest [imgleft]http://images.menewsha.com/avatars/43187.png?1296169527[/imgleft] The dread Captain Howdy is captain of the S.S. Exorcist. He thinks love is icky and he thinks you're icky. Love robs you of the time that could be spent doing more productive things. While your 'oooh-ing' and 'ahh-ing' and groping and pawing, you could be: pickling assorted root vegetables, alphabetizing the things in your garage, visiting Colonial Williamsburg and heaping scorn on those around you. [imgleft]http://images.menewsha.com/avatars/69620.png?1295572854[/imgleft] While not particularly fond of traditional marriage or dating rituals, Belly is a devoted follower of sparks who believes that even the grumpiest curmudgeon's life can be improved with the addition of a little romance. She hopes to spend her twilight years winking inappropriately at young'ns and making delivery boys very uncomfortable. And trying to pinch Howdy's buns. |
In this thread, you will be presented with a series of images portraying scenes that teeter on the brink between Valentine and Anti-Valentine sentiment. Your task will be to choose which way you would like to steer things, and to shove that puppy to one side or the other by writing a short (75 words or less) caption that describes the image. You will earn points for each entry -- those who earn the most points will win the most fabulous riches, but everyone who earns even one point is guaranteed to win something.
