Default Caption my photo!

Ok, since Jiminy mentioned it I thought we could make this happen. The purpose of this is to have fun! Basically someone puts a photo up of anything (best choices being something that could have an amusing caption) and the next person captions it and then posts another photo to be captioned. Try not to offend or be offended as this is all in good fun. If someone notices a photo that they wanted to caption but missed, as always feel free to post what you thought the caption should be but the next photo to be captioned still belongs to the first response per photo!

And now we start:
cat

************************************************** ****************
Official rules of the "Caption my Photo" game:

(1) When a new photograph is posted, the clock starts. The next 24 hours belong to that poster.
(2) Feel free to post captions for that photo, and any previous ones that inspire you.
(3) The first person to caption the new photograph earns the right to post the next photo.
(4) If you're first and intend to post a new photo, please have one ready. It really slows down the game if everyone is waiting for a new photo.
.....After another 24 hours, if you haven't posted a new photo, it's open to anyone.
(5) If you're first, and know you won't have one to post after that 24-hour period expires, please type "PASS" below your last caption line.
(6) If "PASS" is chosen, everyone please check date and time above the last photo. 24 hours from that time, anyone may then post the next photo.
(7) Ties for caption-posting will be determined by your Join Date - newest member wins.

----------How to properly caption-----------
If you click on the Post number of the photo you are captioning, and copy/paste the web address as a link, instead of "Quoting" the photo each time, each page will load faster. This is Post #1 (upper righthand corner of the message box), and here's its link:

http://digital-photography-school.co...&postcount=1
-----------------------------------------------------------

So, if 48 hours have passed after a photo is posted, and there is no new photo, it's Your Turn!

"Will someone turn the damn light off!!!! Some of us are trying to sleep here!"

Not a great shot from my old P&S but worthy of a caption or two...

Seltzer, big Thanks for setting this up! Any suggestions for another way others can add captions without losing the identity of which photo they're targetting?

"Somebody please tell me that this lot is not my family.....Mum????....Dad?????"

Again, I don't have a pic to hand if someone else would like to post one.
