Collaborative Captioning and Toilet Seat Horseshoes
One would think that a photo of men playing horeshoes with toilet seats would generate a cornucopia of new Fourth of July family festivities. On some other site, it might. However, this photo was found on The Caption Machine , a site devoted to a community captioning contest. People send in photos and suggested captions. Other people suggest other captions. And still other people (or the cleverly disguised same) vote on which captions they think most fitting. A few such:
-> I'd hate to clean up after the horse that could step into those shoes !
-> Well, our buttuckseses is too big to fit on 'em no more, so we's gots to use them for somfun.
-> The brothers Coen trying to find a new purpose for their failed invention. Originally they tried to design a new boomerang – then they tried to use it as a toilet seat – after which they failed to market it as a life saving swimming device – and now they’re promoting Horseshoe-throwing-for-people-lacking-some-visual-potential.
