Caption Away August 8, 2008
Posted by Jess in captions.trackback
Okay, so I’ll post the winning caption along with the picture on, say, next Friday. A week from now. I want to give people time to come up with their funniest, and some time for me and my mystery helper to determine the winner. Here’s the picture, and I absolutely cannot wait to see what you guys come up with…
Okay. Well, this sort of grew into more than just a caption. But I still want you to read it, even though I can’t enter it into the contest.
(The Battle of Hornburg. Legolas, pictured above and Gimli are having an Orc-slaying contest. Legolas has killed forty one and Gimli, forty. Two Orcs are left.)
Maribeth strolls in, and points at Legolas.
Maribeth: “Ahahahaha.” (takes deep breath) “Ahahahaha.”
Legolas turns around at the odd noise of Maribeth laughing like a seal.
Legolas: “What’s wrong? You think the fact that we are surrounded by giant, man-slaying monsters is funny?”
Maribeth: (holds in laugh and manages to say) “No, of course not, silly. Your eyebrows are, they’re just plain creepy.”
Legolas: “What’s that? You think I should die my eyebrows?”
Both turn around at the sound of Gimli cheering as he kills the last Orc, making him the winner as the killer of forty two Orcs.
Legolas: (throws down bow in frustration) “Now look what you’ve done. I would’ve won the contest if it weren’t for you and your silly antics.”
Maribeth shrugs, and walks away.
Maribeth: (stifling laughter, calls out as she leaves) “It’s not my fault. You should’ve paid more attention to how silly your eyebrows looked before I came along.”
Legolas rolls his eyes and turns back to congratulate Gimli like a hero, instead of the sore loser he is.
Meanwhile Maribeth makes her way into the BBC Pride and Prejudice film, to steal Colin Firth as Mr. Darcy from Elizabeth Bennett.
Going along with the eyebrow-jokes trend…
Legolas, practically in tears: (to a hobbit) “This is NO time to tell me my eyebrows are weird. And how would YOU like it if I told you you need to shave your toes?”
What?! I have CATERPILLARS on my forehead?! *Rapidly mumbles something elvish*
I’ll try to think of something better next time…
Dude! Look at that orc’s HAIR!
Sorry, I just think his hair is ridiculous.
“(thought bubble) Mom? What on earth are you wearing?”
Hmm…I’m going to edit my lame caption (it’s still lame): What did they say?! Caterpillars?! NOOO! *Mumbles something elvish*
Is it a bird? Or perhaps a plane? Nah…couldn’t be. But it’s true! It’s…it’s, GIMLI WITH A HAIR CUT!
Legolas: “Why in the world is Gimli wearing a bikini?”
“What the– Oh, not AGAIN!”
[...] also, to explain my caption entry I put on Ani Isilee’s blog: she had said that Legolas’s eyebrows looked like [...]
Ah! You can delete that comment above (and this comment, too, if you want) – I linked to this post on my blog, and it added that comment above… I wonder why it does that? Anyway, sorry.
As the camera zoomed in for a close-up, Legolas realized, with horror, that he’d left his hairbrush back in Rivendell.
