TENTHCREWMEMBER

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


Okay, I guess I should start by explaining that.

Since I've been making wallpapers and doing screencaps, occasionally I come to rest on a frame where someone has a funny look on their face or they are in an odd position and I find myself going all MST3K on it. So I thought, why don't I make a game of this? Might help tide us over a tad until the movie is released in April.

So, the rules are simple. I will post an image (now that I know how, lets see if I can!) and people can reply to the thread with a line or lines they think makes the image funnier, either quotes or a description of the scene, and then I will choose a winner (why me? because it is my game! ) at the end of the week and repost the image with their winning "quotes" along with the next week's new image.

If people really have fun with this, I think I will provide a prize in April to the best overall submission...maybe a t-shirt of their choice from my Zazzle site or an item from my Cafe Press site.

So to kick off "Caption Tightpants", I will open with a screencap of the namesake, Cap'n Tightpants himself, as well as a couple of examples of what I'd like to see from all y'alls whimsical brain pans...
(crossing fingers hoping this works)




Ex #1:

MAL: "Simon, why is River eating the couch?"

Ex #2:

MAL(thinking): "Oooh...that was a nasty one! SBD...I gotta stop eating those green protein bars."
SIMON(thinking): "Gah! He smells like Canton!"

Ex #3:

SCENE: Upon hearing how colorfully River can swear in Chinese, Mal ponders the possibilities of actually being able to do *that* to everyone in the 'Verse.

and so on and so forth. I am sure y'all can do much better than I, so have at it!

Cilantro!

Ooh. Have you ever played Caption This! back on Sci Fi's website? (Unfortunately, they closed it down not long after they stopped airing MST3K reruns this year). It was lots of fun, it had screengrabs from the channel updated every few seconds, and you could caption them and see the latest captions in the gallery. I loved it! BEST ONLINE GAME EVER.

So... this is like that, but with Firefly woohoo!

I'll try to think of some good captions later. Sometimes inspiration strikes.

Fun, isn't it? Not as great as Caption This!, but they don't have a cable channel to get screengrabs off of. What handle do YOU use, Rhyme?

I like to occasionally throw in Firefly references, btw.

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


Wow! These are great, gang! I am having a blast. It is going to be tough to choose a winner, because I'll tell you, I now have to make a concious decision not to have a drink while reading these or I may "spit take" my screen!

This is better than monastic humor, because sick people are hi-larious! (and some of you are as sick as I am!) I will choose the week 1 winner sometime on Saturday and post it with the new Caption Tightpants scene (already done picked me an awful ugly creature) sometime on Sunday.

Thanks for participating! Proof again, Firefly fans have the most fun!

Cilantro!
