i’ve had this photo in need of a caption sitting in the bottom of my drafts since april of 2009. seriously. it was originally sent to me by tyler hagan (i only know that because i’d written that much of the post back in 2009!). now, well fermented and aged in oak barrels, it’s ready for the light of day. bring on the captions. best one gets your choice of prizes:

a. a big attaboy (or attagirl)
b. a complimentary space in the youth ministry coaching program (program fee not included)
c. lunch with me, my treat (transportation, accommodations and all other expenses, save for the actual food, not included)

Matt

and the weiner is…

this was a tough call. a few made me snort or laugh out loud. rob’s “scooter rides with scopes at the unitarian VBS” was hilarious. but for sheer brilliance, i’m going to give it to matt and his “The Fast and The Curious”. that’s some intelligent wit there, matt. props to you. pick your prize!

  1. With the rumours of printed books becoming obsolete, Curious George decided it was time to find a new line of work.

  9. the Clearview Middle School didn’t know what they were getting into when they booked, “Curious George on Wheels!!!!!!!!!!.” They have since contacted the booking agent and requested a refund from one Mark Oestreicher, dba. “Curious George on Wheels!!!!!!!!!!”. Oestreicher could not be reached for comment.

  25. it turns out that “monkey riding on a rascal” is 40% less funny than “chimpanzee riding on a segway”

    Cheers.

  36. That picture is totally of me. Our group bought that monkey to bring to concerts and stuff. I wrecked my back and was waiting for surgery when we were headed to camp, so I borrowed a scooter because I could barely walk. I think it’s pretty funny you found it. An accurate caption would be:

    Youth pastor breaks back before heading to camp in his monkey costume.
