Caption Battle: I Am Not Left Handed!

"It's that time again..."
"To lament the conflicted nature that is Michael Bay?"
"To watch more ReBoot?"
"No... it's time for this week's caption battle!"

But first, last week's winners:

In third place, hinting at what was probably a really good story: Eluria!

Oh, I found a cookie on the flo- darnit, what I miss?

In second place, because explosive decompression is funny: schultzie!

Only one of these people is immune to the vacuum of space.

And in the coveted first place, using all of three words... NinjaGirlSango!

One word: trap

I wonder if that joke'll ever get old... guess we'll see some day...

So this week, we shall go with... let's go with this shot courtesy of Hisaishi and featuring the movie of that pirate series with the poison suction cups! Guy on the left is Luffy, guy on the right is Zoro. Happy hunting:

You know the drill: type up the funniest, wittiest, most original caption you can think of for the screencap above in the comments below. Also, if any of you would like some tips on writing a great caption, you can find those here.

And like always, theOtaku is open to all submissions and suggestions for weekly feature content. You have a screencap you want used, you can PM me and we can do somethin' about it. So good luck, and remember: sometimes you think it's toot, but it's really poopy.

theO at AX in LA, CA

Anime Con Mecca - Anime Expo - is coming up! Through sheer logistics, clearly a ton of you are gonna be there, right?

For those of you who are, have we got a gift for you!

Shinmaru, alias "Lord Shiggy Lemons" (if you don't know, probably don't worry about it), has so far been setting up a meet-up for AX. With a little luck, he'll do it well. For now, though, consider this an official front page ping for everyone to see.

He'll be doing his planning over at the Conventionist World, so pop over there and take a look and see if there's anything with which you can help him out! Or to tell him you're coming! Or something!

Ehh, I'm not goin' anyway... good luck with this, guys!
