Let's Win the New Yorker Caption Contest

enjoy the fugu.

"a fitting tribute to a man who in life hated cooking but loved irony"

"the cremation will take place this afternoon, 450 degrees for 25 minutes"

"I'd like to welcome you all to our wake and bake."

"So much for our daily bread"

Roberto, those are both great. the second is more suited to the contest, i guess.

The second one sounds like a winner.

So is your "Bake and Wake" one

yeah I like roberto's cremation one best so far. Wake and bake is funny but not the right style for the contest.

"And so we pay our last respects to a great leader, Fidel Gastro. Reagan had Reaganomics, Fidel had Gastroenteritis."

On that tip:

"Ashes to ashes, dust to dust... that's molecular gastronomy for you."

"Unfortunately it seems we've taken the concept of a 'roast' to literally..."

"I dipped my balls in the soup."

"I'M EGGCITED TO BE BACON THERAPY EGGAIN"

"The problem is I came first."

"I hope these sessions won't consist of you cracking a series of yolks."

"Doctor Doctor I feel like I'm cracking up."
"Don't worry, I've had rasher thoughts than that."

"Help me doctor, I have this compulsion to write 'Victoria Roberts' on the carpet every time I walk into a room."

"I know we're better off without them, but I miss the Wakey twins so much."

"I contain a living being, but you are merely the end of a tasty dynasty"

"I know I'm the one being analyzed here, but wearing shoes when you don't have feet seems like serious pedis envy to me."

"I'm an egg and you're a rasher of bacon! This is a totally unrealistic scenario! The cartoonist must be completely fucking mad!"

"Is this couch made from fried bread? It's really uncomfortable."

"Should I take my top off now, Mr. Cameron?"

BTW hate VR, I probably like Ros Chast better.

"To be quite honest, all I really want is some countertransference."

"A feather quill? Really?"

"Aha! I knew that William Shakespeare was really just an alias of Francis Bacon!"

"After the spontaneous abortion I've always felt like I've been carrying my baby with me."

"It feels like my soul is pecking at my shell, yearning to be rid of these mortal trappings."

"I was told you were the one to see to help me with my fear of frying pans."

"my last therapist was a vienna sausage but he had some weird ideas about my mom."

"I don't care whether someone is white, brown or green; mixing with ham is an abomination against God."

"I don't think I have daddy-issues just because I look at cocks on the internet."

this is a terrible cartoon
"That's when I realized I don't need to be put together again, I need to get in touch with who I am"
"There's got to be more to life than just breakfast"
"It all started back when I was a chicken"

"My wife thinks I take things over easy."

"I doubt I'll ever get laid again."

^^^ winner

the key here is that the egg is HAPPY about something

laid is v good

"sometimes i think there must be more to life than just being eaten"

"i keep having this recurring dream where i'm the only one without hollandaise sauce"

"I think we're making progress, I'm definitely coming out of my shell"

"I'm afraid if I let myself open up, I'll get burned. By the way, I can't stop laughing at your suit - it makes you look like a slice of bacon."

from the naked boardroom contest, I actually really like one of the nominees:

"I was wrong, this meeting is still boring."

"It's such a relief to be part of a complete breakfast."

"Easter was wonderful -- it's the one time of year a man can put on makeup without getting weird looks."

(Oh, if anyone wishes to submit the "laid" one above, or some variation of it: please do! I'm ineligible to enter.)

don't worry, i'm sure tom leonard has already done it

tom's won that contest too!
