photo in need of a caption

October 16, 2012 · 33 comments

there’s actually a real story to this photo; and it’s pretty funny on its own. but the photo is too good to get away without a caption contest.

winner gets a free download of the new book, The Youth Cartel’s Unauthorized Dictionary of Youth Ministry (because, really, this photo looks like it could have been an illustration for some definition in the book).

contenders!

wow, we have a very high percentage of contenders this time based on my normal means of selection (they humored me). so i’m being extra picky when i choose the following as “finalists”:

jenni
intern initiation.

Dan
When Furries play The Hunger Game.

Scott
Run Honey Badger!

Brett Hetherington
This was the last time our Senior Pastor volunteered to help with the youth group’s annual lock-in…

Kevin
This is what happens when the partners at “The Youth Cartel” do not agree with Marko and Adam.

e. sutter
And then Jesus said, “Foxes have dens and birds have nests…so you better run boy.”

Dave Wollan
“So I guess what you gotta ask yourself is, do you feel foxy, punk? Well, do you?”

and the winner is…

tough call, but the one that caused the most spontaneous snort from me was e. sutter’s…
And then Jesus said, “Foxes have dens and birds have nests…so you better run boy.”

Britain has changed their long-lived tradition of fox hunting to not use hunter dogs as to comply with PETA’s requests. I don’t think this is what PETA (or the fox) had in mind.

If the fox gets in the hen house – shoot’em! (get rid of the energy suckers before they destroy everything)

This is what happens when Star Fox crash lands, naked into a paintball gun fight

Mike October 16, 2012 at 7:57 am

I don’t think this is the hole the fox wanted to smell.

“OK Marko, I’ll give you your fox suit back. Geez you are taking this way too seriously.”

Kenny Hewins October 16, 2012 at 10:12 am

This was the funnest thing to cross off the bucket list since “Ride a zip-line into a vat of cream cheese”

Jose Cardenas October 17, 2012 at 9:58 am

“Wait, Samson!!!” replied the fox, “I can explain…please put down the flame thrower so we can talk about this.”
