Caption Battle: It Probably Burns...

"It's that time again..."
"To get the Sarah Connor Chronicles back on Monday?"
"To get Heroes to stop sucking?"
"No... it's time for this week's caption battle!"

But first, last week's winners:

In third place just because: TimeChaser!

Dojima: "Talk to the hand."
Robin: "You're doing it wrong..."

In second place, because doctor exams are always funny: the real yojimbo!

Just goes to show that physicals are equally uncomfortable for both doctors and patients.

And in the coveted first place, because let's face it, we've all been there... Blue-Eyes Girl!

Robin & Doujima: Oh God, another Caramelldansen imitation...

Props to those of you who took up this past week's rather challenging... uh... challenge... thing. Ahem... moving on!

This week we'll use another screencap courtesy of That Moe-Loving Skeletal Fish Guy, featuring the series To Aru Majutsu no Index. From left to right you have Mikoto, Touma, and Index - go for it:

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. And remember: don't try to bend the spoon, it's impossible.

That's all you get for now. Keep checking back for more clues as to our mystery guest's identity. Guesses are welcome in the comments.

You poke-'em-on! What do you call a cow with no legs?

Hey Adam, you've got some criticisms about your backroom portfolio layout and usability! You may or may not need to fix that. Aside from that, I totally got a massive plug for my personal blog this week; this amuses me greatly. That aside... comments! We need those! Or the podcast ends! And the terrorists win! Not even kidding, even... or I am, but still...

Music - Front Breaking by Megumi Hayashibara from Slayers Evolution-R
