well, clearly such musical prose clinched the real deal for you

Indeed. I just love clinching.

But for many of us, attracting the long-term amorous interest
of the opposite sex has been just one calamity after another. Too
many skeletons in that cupboard.

I suspect you've beeen going after the smarter ones. Typically, they're harder to clinch.

...there's only a skeleton crew.

Ya gotta admire a skeleton that does extensive pre-purchase camera research.

... when they say a given model has been "end of life'd"?

The model on the left in the photo is obviously no longer supported.

The only test of an image is the satisfaction it gives you. There simply isn't any other test.

Here's a suggested play-list for for the band shown in the 2nd shot.

1. Bat out of hell

2. You are the sunshine of my life / you are the apple of my eye-socket

3. The Monster Mash (it was a graveyard smash)

5. Yakety yak

6. Every time you say goodbye / I die a little

7. Another one bites the dust

8. November rain

9. Just the three of us

I can't remember when I laughed this hard at a thread here! Oh man, you guys are unbelievably funny!

Every time I pick a "favorite" someone adds another that strikes me even funnier!

I had to work today and I wasn't able to keep checking in, so I was pretty shocked to see how many posts there were.

I must give a special award to kaio 123 for the most bizarre entry... Oh, and you forgot to specify which skeleton was speaking, LOL...

Typeaux, you certainly came up the the MOST entries... more than I thought the entire thread would get! You could do a whole standup routine just based on one photo! (my fave was the Femur donation joke)

Wayne... If there is even that much left of us by the time an UZI replacement comes out, I'll be shocked... but it would be worth the wait, right?

Drummer, I loved the cemetary joke! That was a stitch!

Kim, you are a riot! You too, Ah!

Beacon, you do love to walk that fine line, don't you? LOL.. well, it looks like Phil overlooked it again this time, but we'll be keeping a close eye on you ;o)

I've decided that there is just no way I can declare just one winner, when there are so many wonderfully funny comments and captions, so I've decided to allow you ALL to go ahead and feel smug and act pretentious for being such a smart and witty group! (some of you have a head start... so you might need to ratchet it up to pompous)

Thanks, but that one was dreadfully American-centric in terms of universal appeal... Not sure if even our UK cousins got that one (but might have given the elevated press FEMA got after both Loma Prieta and Hurricane Katrina). My personal favorite was the brief dialog:

"Who do you think you are, anyway?"

"No idea. Who do YOU think I am?"

I think that one crosses over several boundaries, from the philosophical to the more mundane aspects of identifying skeletal remains.

In any case, they just kept coming to me. Apologies for hijacking your thread! :o)
I just find talking skeletons a funny premise.

Dang... gutsy move on Beac's part, I have to say! I did more self-censorship than I'd like to admit, but I'm glad Beacon had the body parts missing from the photo to stick his neck out. ;o)

Hmm. My wine group: http://pompoustwits.home.comcast.net ... :o)

(Note: Site is in serious need of updating, like most of my life...)

Thanks for posting such a fun "contest" Sue. I wasn't really out to win, but if any of my "entries" got someone to chuckle, then I'm happy! (Pompous, even!)

I see you're way ahead of me as usual. What's a step up from pompous?

Well, that's always better than downdating. You probably can get more dates that way, but you really sacrifice quality.

Hey, you're just lucky there wasn't an entry fee per caption!

You helped make it one of the most humorous threads I've seen in ages. Thanks for all of your input!

Now I'm going to have to find a couple of turkeys talking to each other for Thanksgiving, oh , wait, that's not an international holiday. Hmmm. Oh well, it would have lent itself to plenty of topical political humor!

Except I don't think they beat this guy, and he survived (though the small grill didn't) :-)
