"So I emerged through the backseat of a limo and I thought, 'Now what?' It's not like Mathew Barney's career was going to go on forever."

"I laughed at the Great God Pan."

Tuomas, Tuesday, 28 February 2012 08:58 (fourteen years ago)

That's a win one.

Then again, these are the ones they liked for the 'cricket cowboy' one:

“On a clear day, I can get Santa Fe on the antenna.”
"At the next canyon, I'll show you why."
“Nope, it's not a new haircut. Try again.”

Mark G, Tuesday, 28 February 2012 10:03 (fourteen years ago)

“Nope, it's not a new haircut. Try again.”

Roberto Spiralli, Tuesday, 28 February 2012 11:47 (fourteen years ago)

Which also went for the 'snake with a big ass' pic.

I think we have a new 'goes with any pic' caption, along with "This is normal" and "Christ, what an asshole!"

Mark G, Tuesday, 28 February 2012 11:51 (fourteen years ago)

Wait, Tuomas is quoting the Fall?

emil.y, Tuesday, 28 February 2012 13:20 (fourteen years ago)

No, The Fall is quoting Jack Kirby.

Tuomas, Tuesday, 28 February 2012 13:37 (fourteen years ago)

The vegas one and "law chose me" one are both pretty lol.

s.clover, Tuesday, 28 February 2012 13:50 (fourteen years ago)

Aw, Tuomas, I knew you weren't really quoting the Fall (though actually it took me ages to remember what it was originally from), I just liked the 'posts very much out of character' element.

emil.y, Tuesday, 28 February 2012 14:07 (fourteen years ago)

"...so then Stacy told me 'helicopter parents' didn't refer to literal helicopters, and everyone laughed at me."

I say that every week, and every week, there's something gets chosen that's like "Oh, I forgot, the Joneses are coming over for Polenta" or something.
