CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #500 (!)

I swear, I didn't plan for this to run this long when I started it on a lark the summer after high school. Ten years, four teams, three banners, and a couple near misses later, here we are. Thank you to all the past and present folks who enter and keep this going--it wouldn't work without you all.

And since a photo from 179 was used in the first caption contest, it's only fitting to break another of theirs out for this one:

As always, the deadline is nominally Saturday at midnight Eastern.

Go!

The greatest mentor in SwampThing history.


If height is all that matters, of course. And hot air.

[dodar]

FIRSTers! I have come down from the mountain top and bringeth to you the words from the Almighty Kamen, "Be gracious towards your fellow competitors and wear all jean clothing!" Can I get an amen?

179 members: Amen!

For Inspiration And Recognition of Big Tall Bendy Things

[Taylor]

I'm glad I wasn't around when this thing rose from The Swamp. Phew. It still smells.

[Invictus3593]

"I AM THE MASTER COMMANDER"

[Wayne Doenges]

They tell us not to bow down before graven images.
However, there's no mention of inflatable ones.

[GaryVoshol]

Wow, there's actually flowers at that place? Between drought and storms, I've never seen anything like that. Maybe the giant Swamp Thing was channeling a benevolent spirit.

[Grey Mann]

"Kneel before my power."
*Praying*

[brandon.cottrell]

Rules on defense robots were very unregulated back in the day.
