Caption Discussion/Repair Thread: Convenient Photograph

Post the suggestions here and holler for that thread to be closed if it's got a new pic up.

Any other thoughts on these and Alternate Self?

I like those suggestions. There must be a Teleportation Trope you can link in the suggested Alternate Self caption.

I'm trying to come up with a caption for Hermaphrodite. The only thing that comes to my mind, though, is dutifully explaining for those who may be unfamiliar with the article image that it depicts a (possibly hypothetical) "hermaphrodite symbol" that combines the traditional male and female symbols. What do you think?

I'm not sure it needs one.

If someone can come up with something witty, fine; if not, I'm good to leave it without one.

So a Captain Obvious-style caption like the explanation I mentioned above is not witty?

I think Hermaphrodite works fine without.

Alright, since two were in favor and no one voiced any opposition, I've moved the suggested captions for Alternate Self, Embarrassing Tattoo and Bus Crash to their respective pages.

Suggestions for the latest round of pics going up:

• Product as Superhero: Cleans your kitchen in a single bound!
• Suicide, Not Murder: We should have known—he was always a backstabber.
• Seemingly-Wholesome '50s Girl: And on weekends, she sleeps.
• Do Androids Dream?: "Are you alive?"

I'm good with all those.

EDIT: Hooked a crowner for the options for Bungling Inventor; the quotes are on purpose.

Ping for votes...three in the green, two are tied right now.

Calling this one; the new caption's added and tagged.

Caption for the new pic on Mission-Pack Sequel?

"So cut-and-paste, you can play all four at once."

I like it.

Works for me.

Sure, why not?

It's added and tagged.

The following pages now have pics from the suggestion thread and are up for captions: Vampire Dance, The Bus Came Back, Living Crashpad, Beast of the Apocalypse, Dom Com, Primordial Chaos, By-the-Book Cop, and Love Epiphany.

(cracks knuckles)

• Vampire Dance: It's time to party like it's 1734!
• The Bus Came Back: Only two more seasons until they're back on the bus again.
• Living Crashpad: "...nice of you to drop in."
• Beast of the Apocalypse: Thor's gonna need a ton of thunder-power to even touch this thing.
• Dom Com: Just your average suburban family who are a lovely bunch.
• Primoridal Chaos: The universe...before the universe.
• By-the-Book Cop: Benefits include: Throwing the book at criminals, literally.
• Love Epiphany: "That flower lied to me! She does love me!"

Hmmm, those captions could work.

The only one I'm not really feeling is the one for Love Epiphany, the rest I'm pretty good with. For Vampire Dance, maybe "Tonight we're gonna party like it's 1734!"

Love Epiphany: "Come to think of it... you free for dinner tonight?"

Yes, much much better!

Maybe, Love Epiphany: "Wait, I know a girl! I should ask her for advice on how to find the perfect girl!"

R.I.P. Prince

The suggestions in 467 look good. I think Love Epiphany would be better off without a caption, however.

Any other thoughts on the suggestions in 458 above?

For the recently-pictured Stunt Double, I think we should mention their names. "Actress Uma Thurman and stunt double Zoë Bell hanging out."

Gets my vote.

Sounds good.
