for one of my photos i published today,  cathy lysinger suggested a caption challenge.  if there is a lot of interest, i have lots more photos from our recent trip to seattle to stump and amuse.

this was some public art - steel waves - at the ballard locks in seattle.

got a caption?

Damn you, Cathy, you took my idea. Okay...I'll put my twist on it.

"I still don't understand" Jessie was reported to have said after being arrested from this scene. "I thought they'd make an awesome set of steel drums. I really didn't think anyone would mind! The sound was great while it lasted!"

The steel wave sculpture at the Ballard Locks in Seattle inspired many unfunny captions.

Mary realized after all these years that she DOES like heavy metal .

Creating a giant metallic Octapus seemed like a good idea, but giving it the brain from one Mr. A B Normal, turned out to be a mistake. A big mistake.

Mothra is my favorite Japanese monster flick! Gieant catepiller turns into moth at airport as twin one-foot tall beauties sing in a cage. Soldiers fail flinging fire, fearing felons fleeing... It's all there.

Knarley Dude, surfs up
Ron Hall Apr 21, 2006, 6:41pm UTC
It's steel? Aw, heck I thought it was leather.

Gene Simmons immortalized in steel? Geeez! Gives a whole new meaning to the term "heavy metal"! ;)~

I told them that the fingernail growing contest was too much, but did they listen, No.
Kathryn Flynn Oct 26, 2007, 10:32am UTC
Holy Cow - I never saw this one, Jessie!

I like Ruth's comment!
