It is said that imitation is the highest form of flattery. I have decided to start a regular series called “Caption it”; neither the title nor the idea are original. Gary Varvel has recently started a similar series, although he draws his pictures and simply insert them onto the post. I’ve seen other blogs do the same thing; Purgatorio and Blonde Sagacity come to mind.

Here are the ground rules (based on Varvel’s rules): I’ll paste a picture or cartoon with the title “Caption It” and you will provide the caption in the comment section. Keep it clean (I alone am the lone and final arbiter). Keep it brief (brevity is the soul of wit). If you can’t do those two things, keep it to yourself.

Let’s get started!
