Caption Contest XXII
|
Can't Post
|
|
And thus it was. A 22nd contest of captioning began...and the fellowship of the 21st contest...though eternally bound by wit and tomfoolery...was ended   .
But first! A quick recap of the rules:
1. Come up with a funny caption for the given image. It can be completely original or based on some other source. If you base the caption on another source, you should still put some original spin on it.
2. Keep your caption family-friendly, please.
3. The person who posted the image will judge the winner of the current contest.
4. The winner will post the next image.
Note: If your caption is entirely in the Subject line, you can put one or two slashes at the end of your subject line: for example, / or //
so people will know there's no additional text inside your post.
Have at it, captioneers! Tell us just what is going on here  !

Don't ask me where that one came from, but it's the first thing that came to mind when I saw the picture.

"Keen, heart-piercing was her song as the song of the lark that rises from the gates of night and pours its voice among the dying stars, seeing the sun behind the walls of the world; and the song of Lúthien released the bonds of winter, and the frozen waters spoke, and flowers sprang from the cold earth where her feet had passed."

"Thorin! One of them cookies, or we're gonna turn our backs on you!"
It was a foggy day in London, and the fog was heavy and dark. Animate London, with smarting eyes and irritated lungs, was blinking, wheezing, and choking; inanimate London was a sooty spectre, divided in purpose between being visible and invisible, and so being wholly neither. - Our Mutual Friend, Charles Dickens.
It is said by the Eldar that in water there lives yet the echo of the Music of the Ainur more than in any substance that is in this Earth; and many of the Children of Ilúvatar hearken still unsated to the voices of the Sea, and yet know not for what they listen. - The Silmarillion, J. R. R. Tolkien

******************************************
The audacious proposal stirred his heart. And the stirring became a song, and it mingled with the songs of Gil-galad and Celebrian, and with those of Feanor and Fingon. The song-weaving created a larger song, and then another, until suddenly it was as if a long forgotten memory woke and for one breathtaking moment the Music of the Ainur revealed itself in all glory. He opened his lips to sing and share this song. Then he realized that the others would not understand. Not even Mithrandir given his current state of mind. So he smiled and simply said "A diversion.”

T: "The porridge is too hot, the chairs are too big, and there are no beds that are just right."
B: No! Really?!

Did you know that Goldilocks was an addition from a later variation of the original story? The original tale was about an old woman who invaded the forest home of three bachelor bears and ran away once she was discovered. I could imagine there being an older, Middle-earth version that involves a Beorning cottage.

the original version was much more violent and full of gore, right? Old tales were like this before the "Grimmization".

,,,Or, like "The Man in the Moon Stayed Up Too Late" it might have originally been a drinking song or a folktale of a very different nature. The old woman might have caroused, drank all of the honey-mead of the Three Beornings, and trashed their home before running away with a bawdy song on her lips!
