It's up, potholed, and tagged. Any objections/alternatives to the caption I suggested?

It's good, but I got a suggestion:

"After I'm done with this, I'm gonna drink yo brain matter."

Okay, not a very good one, but hey. tongue

I dunno why this was closed...reopened it and moved it back so we can finish the caption discussion.

I was wondering the same thing.

Is the suggested caption a Pulp Fiction reference? I've never actually watched the movie.

I never watched the movie (yet). I just made it up.

I need a shorter and wittier one.

[up] It's actually a Bill Hicks reference. At the end of one of his routines about non-smokers being dickish to smokers, he says "So, can I smoke? Can I? Heh, like a fuckin' fiend I can." I wasn't keen on including the F-bomb (although it wouldn't bother me in general) but the phrase seemed to fit.

It won't bother me to not have a caption but I'd like the decision to be made in-thread.

Well, there was a suggestion to keep the old caption, which I believe was "This is a tasty burger."

I don't know about that. Would that make sense? I'd probably include something about the soda. What is the onomatopoeic word for that slurping sound when you drink up the whole thing with a straw?

[down] Well, that's a quote from Pulp Fiction that went memetic. Just Google images for "pulp fiction burgers" and see for yourself. (And do yourself a favour and watch the movie.cool)

The old caption feels a bit too dull.

If we'd gone with the pic of Jules eating the burger, the old caption would make sense, but as is I don't think so, unless we referenced it instead of using the straight quote.

No consensus on a caption, so let's roll with it as is for now. Locking up.
