Open Thread & Caption-Writing Contest
ByThere are no words. I’m also making this an open thread because I fear the captions alone might bring on intestinal discomfort.
UPDATE: Although all the entries were spectacular we have decided on a winner. Congratulations, Marco of comment number 29.
There were some great entries. I’d like to draw attention particularly to this overlooked and unintended one from shadmarsh’s comment 21:
I am pretty sure that Ms. Hays was at one time a Mr. Hays …
Ba dum pum. (See Arratik’s comment 32 for appropriate sound effect.)

Larry Craig was arrested for doing this in an airport bathroom? I just don’t quite see the appeal.

Isn’t that the guy with all the teeth that you couldn’t identify in the picture you posted back on the 21st?

Yeah. The prize-winner emailed me.
His name is Spencer Kupferman. He lives in Raleigh and New York.
Believe it or not these are from Spence’s Miami engagement party. (Why it’s in Miami I have no idea.)
The last two weeks McHenry went all around the district talking wistfully about a wife and family “one day soon I hope.” This originally was in response to a question about why neither he nor any family members are serving in Iraq.
But perhaps the wistfulness is that his “smoking buddy” has gotten hitched and now Pat figures he might as well get his own “front.” And repeated it at every town hall was for the kool aid drinkers who have heard the rumors about his sexual orientation. They needed some reassurance. So he’s thinking of wedded bliss. It’s beautiful.
Or at least he’s talking about it.

CAPTION:
A couple of hot, dark, smoky cylinders put Congressman McHenry and manfriend, Spencer Kupferman in a reverie. Those smokin’ nights in Rutherford County. Those burning desires.

The Stompers put this WLOS piece up at their site. Ms. Hays, who’s interviewed in the piece, is herself a Stomper.

Seriously, are there any cigar aficionados in the house? It’s hard to tell by zooming in because of the pixelation, but the band on the cigar that Kupferman is gazing at rather admiringly looks suspciously like that of a Montecristo.
I hope for their sakes that they’re smoking the Dominican Montecristos, because I’d hate to see one of our elected officials ignoring an embargo against Cuba and therefore breaking a law that he swore to uphold…

I choose delirious as my fav so far. But Arratik’s is going to get used over and over and over and over and over again.
As to Tim’s blog: What was wrong with the roving maudlin flute player? Sounds nice.
Is Hays related to Mad Miss Mattie? I think her accent is fake. “Entrepreneur” is a very kind euphemism.
“Gives Shuler a lot of air time not countered by the Republican party?” I thought there were 527 ads running constantly! And, gee, it’s tough being on the wrong side in the incumbent perks department, eh?

Well, Arratik, that photo was taken in Miami.
Did you know that the Republican operative who was murdered last week was the son of a Cuban immigrant and from Miami? What a coincidence.

This come on the heels of her theocratic opinion piece in the AC-T, published yesterday.
As a fellow-stomper to Chad Nesbitt, she has found her cyber-home.

shadmarsh, NO!!! Not in Asheville. That just can’t be!
And could someone tell me why the white t-shirt under a casually opened dress shirt seems somehow more repulsive than the open-shirt bare-chest look.
Or am I just flashing back to that time the school principal molested me . . .

No, no, NO!!! Maybe it’s just that he’s creepy in general and anything he does is creepy.

“Mr. Kupferman, received his BS degree in Kinesiology from the University of New Hampshire * Educational Source
I believe or think Kinesiology is a study of anal medical actions or either it is a updated study from the infamous Doctor Kensly sexual morals research from the 50′s? Either way, it appears that both parties in the picture are screw.

Congrats to Marco. That was a good’un.
In light of recent developments I’d like to add one more…
