…where the pictures to caption are visible in the thread.
The rules should be simple:
- Somebody posts a picture.
- Players submit their caption proposals over the next 24 hours.
- At the end of the 24 hour period, the person who posted the picture declares the winner.
- The winner posts the new picture, and so on.
- If a winner is not declared after the 24 hour period, or if the winner fails to show up, anyone can post a new picture for the game to continue.
* * *
Now I will post the first picture. Please submit as many good entries as possible so that I will have a hard time picking the best caption. 🙂

Nice. I feel like participating in this one too, but I’m not allowed, of course. I forgot to mention it in the rules.
Plus, **multiple entries are allowed.** I forgot to mention that too. 🙂

It’s time to announce the winner.
I enjoyed every entry in this round and I want to thank all the participants.
But, as they say, there can only be one winner.
And the winner is **needscoffee** , with _“In a minute! Miss Piggy and Kermit are getting back together again!”_
The runner up is **Prof.Pepperwinkle** , with _“I never understand Arlo & Janis.”_
Thank you everyone again for your wonderful participation.
@needscoffee, please post the next picture to caption.

Thanks, **UY\_Scuti**! While I’m delighted to win, I haven’t been able to round up an appropriate photo to submit. Would you or runner up **Prof.Pepperwinkle** like to step in to keep this moving along? (I thought his caption was funnier anyway.)
