hey, it’s summer! we need to have some fun! so, yes, a photo in need of a caption is certainly in order.
let’s see — i want to offer a prize.
how about this? the winner gets to choose between these three prizes:
- a $50 discount off a single registration for the Middle School Ministry Campference (for which the price goes up $30 after sunday — so win, and use it before sunday, and you get $80 off! holy cow, have i lost my mind!?).
- a $25 discount off a single registration for The Summit.
- the respect and admiration of The Youth Cartel (all of us).
ooh! at least two of those are pretty good!
so, here we go. make me laugh!

私は雨の中で歌っている
ちょうど雨で歌う
どのような輝かしいフィーリン
私は再び幸せ
私は雲で笑っている
上記までのように暗い
太陽は私の心にある
と私は愛のために準備ができています
嵐の雲追跡してみましょう
場所から誰も
雨で点灯
私は私の顔に微笑をしました
私は車線を歩いていく
幸せなリフレインと
ただ歌う’、
雨に唄えば

I know we need to protect the rain forests. But barbwire? Really?

“Now that it’s raining more than ever, know that we’ll still have each other
You can stand under my umbrella, You can stand under my umbrella, Ella ella, ay ay ay.”
Jonathan
That awkward moment when your blind date turns out to be a pocket monster.
Heidi
you think he would’ve gone to a different bus stop after escaping the chia pet zoo
Joe Iovino
If that Goonie gets wet, we’re all in big trouble!
Gene
NO! I did not just escape from those woods.
Gene
No, YOU, tell her she’s violating the leash law.
stephen
where the wild things aren’t
Gman
Princess Kate’s attempt to not be seen by the photographers doesn’t seem to be working.
AND THE WINNER IS…
a few of these really cracked me up. had a hard time picking one.
i’m going to give an honorable mention to Gman for “Princess Kate’s attempt to not be seen by the photographers doesn’t seem to be working.” really funny. Gman, as a consolation prize, you get #3 of the prizes.
and, i’m awarding the grand prize to stephen, for his succinct, unique, and witty “where the wild things aren’t.” let me know what prize you want, stephen! (comment, or email me: marko@theyouthcartel.com)

Pokemon + buffet = get bigger umbrella
What I did on my summer vacation.
I’m dry clean only ya know.
“taking a cab sure would be faster. if only… “
Sooooooo…..when is the shuttle coming to take us to see what they found in Marko’s beard?
“One of these things is not like the others,
One of these things just doesn’t belong,
Can you tell which thing is not like the others
By the time I finish my song? “
When’s the last time you saw people wearing ponchos? Weird.
A voracious eater, and a master of disguise, here we see the male gornax, having already eaten one person, use the umbrella leftover as a prop to stealthily sneak up on its next victim.

Big city people. Ask no questions, act like everything is normal, mind your own business. No matter what!
I know we need to protect the rain forests. But barbwire? Really?
Funny thing happened on the way to the office…
“Now that it’s raining more than ever, know that we’ll still have each other
You can stand under my umbrella, You can stand under my umbrella, Ella ella, ay ay ay.”
moms and teens…nothing fazes them

Look at that guy wearing a man-purse… psh!
And you thought Ohio has a problem with stray cats!
If that Goonie gets wet, we’re all in big trouble!
NO! I did not just escape from those woods.
“I hope nobody weird gets on the bus!”
The package said if I was removed from water, I would shrink down to normal size. THIS IS NOT HELPING!!

“Marko’s Beard” personification taken too far
And I just had my fur done!
Gosh, I hope I don’t have to sit by THAT guy!
Princess Kate’s attempt to not be seen by the photographers doesn’t seem to be working. In other news …. due to the new mascot rules …. the Olympic Screenings will now be longer …What a go …Kate.
Thinking to himself, “Just…act….normal…”
“Honey, when the kids said we should add Pokemon to our queue they meant Netflix not the bus stop”
I know it’s too late:
#1 reason to never claim “writer’s block” when working for the Smash Bros franchise…the dreaded Pokemon suit solution
Jonathan’s made me laugh the most. Everyone in the room with me looked at me because of my random loud laughter…
