Caption Contest

Greetings, Caption enterers and readers and anyone else who happens to wander here. I welcome you to the Eighty-Third Caption Contest! This is a momentous occasion because we decided it is. We originally intended to celebrate the Fiftieth and Seventy-Fifth, but… well we forgot. One hundred seemed so far away. So we got to thinking. Why do numbers like 75 and 100 have to be the only special ones? We decided that we could make a number special and thus commenced “operation 83”. Using the chat topic and a secret identity on the forum we promoted the number 83 and today I have the great pleasure of presenting to you the special Eighty-third Caption Contest! Top ten captions for the 83d caption contest celebration:

Previous Caption Contests Favorite Captions: I (Eustace Clarence Scrubb) gasped. It was not my cousin Edmund sitting on the barrel, it was a bird! "Hmph!" I thought, after a moment to regain my composure. "A sly trick! Edmund, you will pay for trying such a foul attempt to read my book of facts!" I snarled to the bird. (For, even to myself, I have a hard time admitting that my book of facts is really a diary, but that's a girl's thing. Mine was more civilized.) "Edmund! I will not tolerate this unseemly behavior! I will contact the British Consul as soon as possible and have you arrested for witchcraft! It is witchcraft to turn yourself into a bird, you know!" I shouted at the bird, then made a very good aim, if I do say so myself, and I do, at grabbing this bird and plucking all his feathers. Sadly, the bird was too quick for me, and he flew up and over too----What?! To Edmund! "Why are talking to that bird?" He asked me. I can't believe I just admitted to my book of facts this whole embarassing turn of events! - Hiking Peter Seagull: I've always wondered where you got your diary. Did they just have an extra on board, or is it waterproof, and you had it with you when you left Spare Oom? Eustace: That's for me to know, and you not to know. Seagull: Okay then, I'll just go ask Drinian where you got it. Eustace: Wait! Uh, how 'bout I get you an extra piece of bread tonight? Hmm? - Aravis, Queen of Archenland Sad that his ration of sandwiches was gone, Eustace wondered if he could get this bird to lay come eggs for him. - Fireflower EUSTACE: "So, Mr. Bird, can you tell me what it's like to live in a place where there are crazy creatures and a mysterious mist?" SEAGULL: "Tweet" EUSTACE: "What was that?" SEAGULL: "Tweet" EUSTACE: "Can you talk at all?" SEAGULL: "Tweet" TAVROS THE MINOTAUR: "Are you talking to that bird?" EUSTACE: "Oh bother." [Eustace rolls his eyes then gets up and walks away] TAVROS: "Was it something I said?" - Not Of This World Mother? And I thought being turned into a dragon was bad enough! - Fireflower Eustace seems pretty shocked that birds are actually common in this....Uncivilized country. - Hiking Peter "Oh, great!" Eustace thinks. "Another staring contest." (This time he doesn't realize that the bird is stuffed!) - Thekla Seagull: Once there was a boy named Eustace Clarence Scrubb, and he almost deserved it. Eustace: Almost! See? I'm not all that bad! Seagull: cough, cough...I think C.S. Lewis put that just to be nice.... - Aravis, Queen of Archenland Dr. Scrub had never before seen a Gary Stu Sea Gull before but there is always a first time for everything. - Aravir Here we see Eustace held captive by a seagull, who, at the moment, is staring at him rather intently. Now little does the boy know, he really should be scared out of his senses, but he sees this as the perfect time to complete his book: Birds for Classical Vegetarian Nonsmoker Pacifist Children who Wear a Special kind of Underclothes. Apparently the Commmon Narnian Seagull was the last bird he needed to sketch before the book was complete. Too bad no one will buy it exept his mom and dad-oh, I mean Harold and Alberta. And MAYBE Jill Pole, maybe. - sweetie Eustace: "So you're a Bird in Narnia, who can't talk... How does that make you feel?" - Polly P. It appears that Eustace found a job taking dictations from a seagull. - fan/of /skye/penderwick Eustace: "And 15 x 27 is.. umm.." Edmund: "Eustace! I thought I told you to finish your homework BEFORE you get pulled into a magical land! - Jill Pole Eustace: Hold still while I draw your portrait. Seagull: Do you think this is my best side... or maybe this one... Eustace: I said hold still! - Dol Amroth Girl Eustace: So, Seagull, tell me about your childhood. Seagull: when I was just two years old I left my lips out in cold and they turned blue. What could I do? Eustace: Oh they turned blue, what could you do? Seagull: Oh they turned blue. Eustace: Fascinating... - Dol Amroth Girl More Caption Contests |
