Could you please just make it stranger? Stranger. Odder. Could be weirder. More bizarre. How about uncanny?

First, let me start by saying how great it was to have so many submissions this week! I had fun reading them over and over again, trying to pick a winner. Kudos to all the entrants for making this a tough one. In the end, however, I picked a submission by Succatash for a few reasons...
1) Crossover humor has a special place in my heart
(honorable mention to GreyJedi and the Braveheart quote!)
2) It was damn funny in my mind
3) I got to have fun with the image and really take it to a new level this week.
EDIT: 4) I kind of had this vision of the crew making their own entertainment, like the main characters in Reign of Fire when they did the Star Wars "play" for the kids.

Here it is in all its campy glory...

and now for this week's Caption, we have Wash and the return of Tightpants his own self...

MAL: "You're...umm...a statue!...no umm...wait...you're catatonic...cyanotic! and not respondin--responsive!...no wait...damn I hate charades..."

I love the contest, but I believe that editting the image is against the spirit of captioning. The caption was created for the original image. Dialog can be added, but I think that you should not edit it otherwise.

Also, I think it would be cool if you would post a link to all the previous Caption threads, so that we can read all the entries without searching for week old (or more) threads. They can get lost easily. :) Thanks.

COSMICFUGITIVE

The first caption is based on a scene featuring Alan Tudyk from the movie: 'A Knight's Tale'.

(Wash and Zoe have been fighting again.)

Wash: "I don't understand women."
Mal: "Nor do I. But they understand us. Well, maybe not you."

Or something completely different:

MAL: *Sigh* "Wash.. Your the best pilot I've got. It's been the third time this week. How could you confuse the gravity button with those three switches??"

WASH: *Silent*

Hey, thanks for the feedback. Honestly, not something I really intend to do, this was one of my "liberties" as being the creator, I suppose. They'll happen from time to time, and I don't know when and I don't know where.

I had a thought, and yes it hurt terribly. Maybe you could take suggestions for 5-6 days, then post nominees that you select on a poll for us to vote on for 2-3 days. There are a lot of free poll services online.

To clarify, this is an opportunity for you, the Fans, to mold the Caption Tightpants format, if you want to.

You can be more or less involved based on the outcome. The options are as follows...

------------------------------------------
How would you like Caption Tightpants to choose the weekly winner?

a) It's fine, leave it alone. I love it the way it is!
b) Take submissions for 5 days, then set up a 2 day
poll based on TCM's 3 most favorite submissions.
c) Take submissions for 5 days, then set up a 2 day
poll based on TCM's 5 most favorite submissions.
d) Poll every ruttin' submission given! TCM doesn't
know funny! *I* know funny!
e) Something else altogether, like maybe, the Taliban.

------------------------------------------

so click the link and vote! or just keep playing, or better yet DO BOTH!

Cilantro!
