Ok, let’s see if this works.

In another message board that I frequent, people often start a new topic and include an image in their original post. Everyone else then comes up with captions for that picture. It’s really very simple, so I thought I’d try and start something similar here.

Apologies if this idea’s already been tried before here and was unsuccessful…I’ve only recently started reading the SDMBs frequently.

So then, I present to you the very first (maybe) SDMB MPISMS caption thread. And here’s the picture:

I hope that works, or I’m going to look like an idiot. …Not that I don’t already look like an idiot.

“Barney now spends his days drinking, wandering the streets dejectedly, and trying to work out why his successful show was suddenly cancelled.”

“The crowd’s terror turned to amazement as godzilla underwent a bizzare mutation.”

…and so on. I’m sure you can all do much better than that.

Hmmm, a caption for some superimposed rectangles and a red “X.”

I’ll have to get back with you on this one. . . .
