Caption Battle: Don't Let Her Know I Broke...

"It's that time again..."
"To continue training the geisha army?"
"To take your partner's heart?"
"No... it's time for this week's caption battle!"

But first, last week's winners:

In third place, because I always enjoy a relevant Star Wars reference: FaithlessFighter!

Even the Jedi got hit by the Recession.

In second place, because tall tales are always good: schultzie!

Liar, he never caught a fish that big.

And in the coveted first place, for noticing something no one else did... Keba Si Rota!

Ginji was too mesmerized by the glowy thing to notice that someone stole his pants.

One more February battle to go!

This week's screenshot comes courtesy of Mitsudo Moe Desbrekoo! and features the series Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood. From left to right we have Vic, Ling, Garfiel, Alphonse, and Winry. Give 'er a go:

Sorry for the late post. Had to tell a girl she was being stupid. Anyway, if Ichigo were a woman, he'd want Nathan Fillion's babies.

Also, Castle is awesome. Agreed.

Caption Battle Special Event: March Member Madness!

We're only about a week away from March. How the hell did that happen? Anyway, occurs to me that we did something hilarious last year, and that we should repeat it again this year...

Year-old copy-paste, gettou!

Caption Battle: March Member Madness!

(SomeGuy at Anime Evolution 2010 in Vancouver, BC)

I want to see you in the caption battles! Share your pictures from your convention meet-ups and get-togethers and let us pretend like we know what you're thinking or saying! It's going to be live-action caption battle all through March!

There are only a few guidelines I need you guys to follow:

1. Make sure everyone in the photo is okay with being used for this! If I'm even slightly iffy that someone is unhappy about being featured, I will drop the picture.

2. Everyone featured in the photo should be a member here at theO (background types don't matter).

3. Tell me who the members are and what event is going on (if it's a convention or other similar event) - most likely, I'm more interested in convention meet-up type pics anyway.

4. Make sure it's something to which we can actually write captions!

So yeah. If you think you have a hilarious photo with some folks that you wanna show off, then PM me with a link to it (an online hosting service is again ideal). Our top favourite pictures (plus one I'll contribute as well) shall be the ones over which our captions shall do battle.

So if we do indeed use your picture, what will you get? Credibility - goes farther than you'd think.

But who doesn't love credibility? You know who doesn't love credibility? Animal abusers. You're not an animal abuser, are you?

So who's game?

Caption Battle: Cat's Cradle XTREME!!!

"It's that time again..."
"To practice some runs?"
"To cut your pants?"
"No... it's time for this week's caption battle!"

But first, last week's winners:

In third place with the idiom gag: Kitty K.O.!

They say the eyes are the window to the soul... Maka heard incorrectly.

In second place with a line that would make Leslie Nielson proud: Rageon!

It was the perfect crime. He was dead, and not only was there no evidence, but there was nothing to even hint at her involvement. Now, all that was left was to frame the next guy she saw, and get out of the country. Nothing could possibly go wrong.

And in the coveted first place with... well, you'll see... 64oldman!

Shinigamis love Apple.
Meisters use Windows.

Super satisfying week, guys! Lots of great captions! I am super pleased right now. Thanks!

This week's screencap comes courtesy of Hisaishi and features the series Getbackers. The dude is Ginji. Let's see what you can do this week:

I think I'm hearing voices or something... also, azure breakfast cakes - I have learned something new. Cute.
