Back in the day, one of my favorite groups here was jessie voigt's "Caption Challenge". It seems to have died a natural death now that this website has evolved and so many have wandered away. I just checked and the last post there was March of 2008.

This photo would have been perfect for her group so I'm taking a little stroll down memory lane. Have fun captioning this photo of a building located in Chester, Arkansas.

Ok - so now that so many of you have expressed interest in reviving the group I will add the usual note - if you'd like to have a photo featured in the Caption Challenge - email jessie voights.

It was a great group that I miss as well. This photo is a real challenge. *chuckling* I'll have to think about it.

How about: Absurdity in Green

Apartment for rent. Guaranteed, no wolves will get at your door.

(funny, i was just thinking about the caption challenge the other day. think i can talk her into a monthly one?)
jessie voigts Aug 26, 2009, 2:03pm EDT
if people want to submit photos, i'm all good! it was too hard to find people to do the caption challenge, the last 6 mo of activity on the group or so. let me know!! :)
mona d. Aug 26, 2009, 2:06pm EDT

Thanks jessie - it would be wonderful to regenerate interest in the group - I will certainly contribute what I can :)
jessie voigts Aug 26, 2009, 3:13pm EDT
tonia and mona - all good! it started out weekly, and then petered out after a few years. if people would like to do it, that is JUST fine with me. YAHOO!

Rebecca's experiments with telekinesis hit a wall when she wished her kitchen was as cozy as the upstairs parlor as she was reaching for what used to be the back door.

Love that photo! I don't have a caption, but I love the door into thin air...

"The door's open--come on in! We're first door from the roof."
Jean, just the teensiest bit odd, F. Aug 26, 2009, 3:40pm EDT
"No, don't go out that way... We have a very special door for bill-collectors to exit by..."

(Do you not remember "Jeanz Krazy Kapshuns" group?!?!?)
Tonia, who hugs trees G. Aug 26, 2009, 4:03pm EDT
I do remember seeing your group, Jean, however this was the one I got involved with here - it's been here on Gather almost as long as I have :)
Nana to Seven Cutiepies Aug 26, 2009, 4:02pm EDT
That last step is a real doozy.
Madame Donna C. Aug 26, 2009, 4:11pm EDT
Oh, I do miss that group too, Tonia!

Caption: Gives new meaning to the term, "vanished into thin air".

Fortunately for everyone who exited the building, ice cubes where readily available.

I don't have a caption, but the funny thing is there is a similar building in my area. The lower level is an adult book store.
