photo in need of a caption

March 4, 2010 · 54 comments

i had a busy and somewhat stressful day yesterday. so i think i need a few chuckles generated by a photo in need of a caption. no big prize — just the pride of knowing you’re a WINNER! best caption, judged subjectively by little ol’ me, wins a pile o’ pride (the good kind, not the sinful kind).

CONTENDERS

Tim Mauriello
“I find your lack of filtering disturbing.”

Steven
I hate chores, if I hadn’t tried to kill Luke… he’d be doing this now!

Jeff Myers

Jeff Myers
The problem with the tie-fighters is that they tend to overheat…

Lon
Effects of the galatical recession.

Trey Bledsoe
Coolest youth ministry relay race ever…

Daryl Lucas
These aren’t the plankton you’re looking for.

and the winner is…

“I find your lack of filtering disturbing.”

Jeffrey Simpson March 4, 2010 at 8:13 am

Unbeknown to his generals, Vader has a weak spot for clown fish. “I’ll only have the best for my Nemo.”

Marvin Nelson March 4, 2010 at 9:03 am

After Hoth Melted Darth was wandering to himself if he was now in Water World. He figured he’d try and filter his own urine too…

Len Evans March 4, 2010 at 9:04 am

After destroying Alderaan Darth Vader wanted to go green and save planets rather than destroying them.

Steven March 4, 2010 at 9:41 am

Jon March 4, 2010 at 10:03 am

That stupid Death Star… overheating AGAIN!!!

Tug Taviano March 4, 2010 at 10:05 am

Mom said filtered water will get rid of my raspy voice!

E. Sutter March 4, 2010 at 10:05 am

You are beaten. It is useless to resist. Don’t let yourself be destroyed as Obi-Wan did.

Josh Stitcher March 4, 2010 at 10:08 am

All the dark side got me was stranded on a desert island with a water filter!

Wes Pardue March 4, 2010 at 10:13 am

After an “Assault,” Vader needed to “De-Salt.”

Jon March 4, 2010 at 10:19 am

Dang! I knew I shoulda bought the three stage filter!

Rooster March 4, 2010 at 10:22 am

I thought I could get this water into wine thing. The dark side is not as strong as I had hoped.

David March 4, 2010 at 10:25 am

Rated at SPF 1000 the new Darth Vader beach wear ALSO comes with this handy water filtration system….

J Pass March 4, 2010 at 10:26 am

“I will not call the emperor wrinkle face, I will not call the emperor wrinkle face…”

adam mclane March 4, 2010 at 10:42 am

It was a sad day when Vader realized his Jesus complex was, indeed, not true.

Gman March 4, 2010 at 10:53 am

The things they make me do to appear in Spaceballs the Sequel.

Jeff Myers March 4, 2010 at 10:58 am

After hearing about new advances in water filtration technology, George Lucas tinkers yet again with his Star Wars trilogy. He must be stopped.

Jeff Myers March 4, 2010 at 10:59 am

Darth Wader

kisha March 4, 2010 at 11:10 am

ok – I can’t see the pic but I vote for the “if I hadn’t tried to kill Luke – he’d be doing these now” – re: chores…. that’s funny!

Jeff Myers March 4, 2010 at 11:12 am

Marko, this may be my fav PINOAC ever. It’s so completely random. Almost impossible to caption.

Jeff Myers March 4, 2010 at 11:13 am

Last one…

Even Joseph couldn’t interpret this dream!

Marco Salazar March 4, 2010 at 11:16 am

Pram Hardit, Lord Vader’s body double, ponders once again if he had listened to his mother and become a librarian.

Alternate ending to the movie Summer Rental staring John Candy

Kirk Moore March 4, 2010 at 12:13 pm

Darth Vader arrives from a long time in the future and then pours water into his portable breathing system – giving him a new supply of oxygen and a fresh supply of hydrogen energy.

Eric Altson March 4, 2010 at 12:18 pm

Even as a Sith Lord, Vader had trouble with fluid dynamics.

Todd March 4, 2010 at 12:20 pm

In a moment of panic, Vader realizes the “dark side particles” must be retrieved at all costs

Dan Rosch March 4, 2010 at 12:38 pm

Now George Lucas is doing commercials for Brita?

Bethany Boring March 4, 2010 at 1:39 pm

Luke, “Here Shamu!” (Sorry…sore topic here in Florida, but you know that’s what Luke would be thinking…)

Daniel Rose March 4, 2010 at 1:58 pm

The cotton mouth in this thing is ridiculous!

Rob March 4, 2010 at 2:13 pm

Fund-raisers of the Dark Side: “I shall sell this in little bottles to the gullible people on Tatooine to cash-flow my kingdom. Mwahahahaha!”

Rob March 4, 2010 at 2:18 pm

“I hope this filter contraption thing works… the last time I drank this water, I had the Kessel runs for twelve par-secs!”

E. Sutter March 4, 2010 at 2:25 pm

I officially revoke my caption and place all of my votes towards Rob.

Ryan Shields March 4, 2010 at 2:51 pm

“Drink water? Straight from a Lake?………………….NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”

Jeff Moulton March 4, 2010 at 2:53 pm

Seriously Marko – this is a great pitcher!

Lon March 4, 2010 at 7:02 pm

Determined not to spend another penny on bottled water…

Lon March 4, 2010 at 7:03 pm

Effects of the galatical recession.

Andrew Seely March 4, 2010 at 9:43 pm

The money saved by filtering our own water will buy 2 new death stars.

Mark March 4, 2010 at 10:06 pm

“When I left you I was but the learner. Now I am the master of filtration.”

Rod Dunlap March 4, 2010 at 10:27 pm

This sucks! This black outfit makes me so intimidating, but I’m always so thirsty on these warm planets.

Trey Bledsoe March 4, 2010 at 10:41 pm

Coolest youth ministry relay race ever…

Trey Bledsoe March 4, 2010 at 10:46 pm

Back in the day, I would have just forced it in…

Eric Blake March 4, 2010 at 11:45 pm

Silly Padawan…. When Palpatine was teaching Darth Vader that Sith thirst for power, Vader took literally.
