A Caption Contest

[KingODuckingham]

Oh man, perhaps the most classic possible picture for a caption contest.

Caption: Boromir showing everyone he knows plenty about rings, like what shape a ring is, he's not an idiot.

[Marceline]

This is how likely it is for a Sean Bean character to survive.

[Dimcairien Luiniel]

Of course this picture needs to come up in a Caption Contest!

Boromir held up his hand as he said, "I swear, the carrot was this big around!"

[Wamba_the_Fool]

"No, BOromir, with an 'O'!"

[Gwai]

I was wondering when this one would show up!

"Stop laughing, guys, I mean it! Winter really is coming!"

[Elvheimdros]

"Don't try to frighten us with this sorceror's Ring, Lord Elrond."

[Boromir88]

"Then you just give the giant Eye a poke and it's like a needle being pushed into a full balloon."

[Afird Splitax]

"My hand has been stuck like this since I took my hand off my saddle horn. It was a long journey getting here."

[Wamba_the_Fool]

@drifa !

[Wamba_the_Fool]

And now, presenting the one who will announce the winner of the current contest - @Isolde Alarion !!!

[Wamba_the_Fool]

All right, @Isolde Alarion , keep your secrets - we'll move on in the meantime.

Open Floor -- The Next Picture is the Next Picture!

[Lirimaer]

Ooooh, a rare opportunity!

[Gwai]

They tried to look surprise when Bilbo discovered most of his birthday cake had been eaten already

[KingODuckingham]

Two hobbits' final moments before, in defiance of Indy's advice, they were melted for daring to look upon the open Ark of the Covenant.

[Boromir88]

It’s not a hobbit party until you see Gandalf the Grey...uncloaked

[Lirimaer]

Wow. Yeah, that's something they won't forget @Boromir88 - the floor is yours.

Excuse me while I scrub my imagination's eyeballs.

[Boromir88]

Thanks @Lirimaer . My first Gandalf the Grey uncloaked joke on the New Plaza

The hobbits were stunned by the new picture to caption:

[Lirimaer]

"Doesn't play well with others. Needs to learn to share," Oropher read the school report sadly. "I am sure he will learn with time!" he told the schoolmistress.

[KingODuckingham]

Thranduil had been provided with a 41 foot pole in order to touch the smelly dwarves. The rest of the group stayed much further back, in fear of getting close enough to become contaminated.

[Wamba_the_Fool]

"What," Thranduil asked in a chilly tone, "is this?"
Other elves: *take a step backwards*

[Gwai]

Thranduil poked at the box of donuts. "What is this new devilry?" he asked, as the other huddled back, afraid they would ruin their figures.

[Boromir88]

All good entries. What to decide?

@Gwai I'm imagining donuts being introduced in Middle-earth and that is precisely how I think Thranduil would react. You're up.

[Gwai]

Haha thanks @Boromir88!! Gotta love that box of Krispey Kremes!

Up next:

[Dimcairien Luiniel]

Family portrait sessions were always a bit awkward, especially when Gimli insisted on standing in the back.

[Amhran]

"No, we agreed on this: it's YOUR turn to ride tandem with the dwarf."
"Nuh uh, I took the last two turns. YOU take him."
"...I'm standing right here, guys."

[KingODuckingham]

Aragorn nervously met Legolas' gaze after revealing that he did, in fact, think there was a wrong way to eat a Reese's.

[Eldrith]

"Both?" "Both"

[Gwai]

"No, we agreed on this: it's YOUR turn to ride tandem with the dwarf."
"Nuh uh, I took the last two turns. YOU take him."
"...I'm standing right here, guys."

Next up goes to @Amhran!!

[Amhran]

Haha, thanks! Batter up:

[Gwai]

Gamling looked at Aragorn. When Theoden started singing "La Donna e Mobile" from Rigoletto, it was every man for himself to escape.

[Lirimaer]

When you got an itch you just gotta scratch, onlookers be damned.

[KingODuckingham]

Hama: Aragorn, what are you supposed to say to your best friend when his girlfriend just broke up with him?

[Dwim]

Aragorn and Gamling looked at each other in disbelief. Theoden was faking injury to try and avoid battle!

[Laintaen]

Aragorn and Gamling could do nothing but trade looks of disbelief as Theoden lifted a leg and let one rip.

[Androthelm]

a tender moment between Aragorn and Gamling ruined by Theoden's equally tender moment with Gimli (too short to be pictured)

[Boromir88]

Gamling: Hey, he said he's not dead?
Aragorn: Just take him, he'll be stone dead soon.
Gamling: I can't take him. It's against regulations.
Theoden: I feel fine! I think I'll go for a walk

[Lirimaer]

!!!!

Androthelm, you are very naughty!

[Amhran]

Oh, my giddy aunt, HAHA! @Boromir88 , thou art the man.

[Boromir88]

Thank you @Amhran

I think it's time for Saruman to get some attention in crazy captions.

[Dimcairien Luiniel]

While the balcony of Isengard made for an excellent place to sing, Grima doubted the strength of Saruman's operatic skills. The wizard always sang just a bit off key.

[Amhran]

Grima was sure the fish Saruman caught wasn't quite *that* big, but he kept his doubts to himself.

[Lirimaer]

So anyway, I am the White King and Grima's gonna be the Black Bishop, but we need thirty more volunteers to play properly.

[Isolde Alarion]

Grima wasn't convinced the Orcs in the back were getting the hang of it..

Saruman: "Aaaaaa...Macarana"....

[Marceline]

The drum majors' scaffolding for this year's marching band was far... sturdier than in past years.

[Elvheimdros]

And now it's time for Silly Songs with Sharky, the part of the show where Sharky comes out and sings a silly song.

[Dwim]

Gandalf had strengthened his wizard powers. Now he could freeze and unfreeze his enemies at will.

[Gwai]

Saruman: "Dudes! Who reme"mbers where I parked my car??"

[Boromir88]

I'm very happy there is a NuPlaza. So nice to have a place where I can enjoy and laugh again with everything happening in the world. And again the contributions have made it rather impossible for me to pick the funniest.

The last image in my head is Saruman trying to teach the Macarena to his army of orcs. So @Isolde Alarion you're up. :D

[Wamba_the_Fool]

@Dimcairien Luiniel you mention Saruman singing off-key and all I can think of is this.

[Isolde Alarion]

Thank you Boromir88! I hope everyone can see this alright.. enjoy.
