One week from today will be the first post for the A to Z Challenge. For this challenge, myself and over 1,400 other bloggers will be posting EVERY DAY (except Sunday) through the month of April using the letters of the alphabet as a jumping off point. Due to this schedule, I will be suspending the Test Your Funny Bone feature until May. Therefore, this will be the last one for a while. Let's make it count.

Here is the picture for the week.

I had to dig way back in my archives for this one. If you think the man on the sled looks like Adolf Hitler, you would be correct. It is Hitler out for a little sledding. Beyond that, it is up to you. Leave me your funniest caption to go with the picture. I will be posting the results for this one on Friday without a follow-up picture so as not to interfere with the A to Z Challenge.

Make us laugh!

Test Your Funny Bone #20 - Gansta Easta Bunny

I have been preparing for the A to Z Blogging Challenge, so I am not going to give a long introduction this week. Plus, since this is the twentieth week in a row for this feature, I think everyone knows how it works by now.

I supply the picture and you give me your funniest caption to go with it. Leave your captions in the comment section and I will post all the responses I get next week.

Here is this week's picture:

The challenge starts now. Leave your funniest caption in the comment section.

HAPPY ST. PATRICK'S DAY!!!

I hope you had a wonderful day of doing whatever it is that people do on St. Patrick's Day. Seriously, other than wearing green and getting really drunk, I don't know what the holiday is all about.

Despite my ignorance, people are living it up today in the name of an Englishman who, after suffering years of slavery in Ireland, escaped only to willingly go back years later to preach Christianity to his captors.

Do you think St. Patrick is looking down from heaven thinking, "What are they doing? I hated beer and the color green."
— Jim Gaffigan (@JimGaffigan) March 17, 2013

While people are drinking green beer today, at one time, people could legally use much more potent stuff. This was the subject of last week's Funny Bone post. I supplied the following picture and asked my readers to come up with a slogan for this product.

Try our new improved daytime formula. Now with COCAINE.

Here are the slogans I received:

Addman of Muppets for Justice - Guaranteed for a good nights sleep. Side effects may include vivid dreams, hallucinations, and days spent pretending to be an orange hummingbird.

Shane Morgan of In Shane's Brain - "One Night" helping your inner-rapist since 1875.

Brandie Boddie of Penning Praises - Dreams guaranteed. Whether they're sweet is another story.

A Beer for the Shower -  Contains less than 1% alcohol, so you know it's good for you!

Sandee of Comedy Plus - When the war on drugs just wasn't an issue.

Neal Call of Raised By My Daughter - Side effects: The munchies. Inebriation. Waking up under random bridges or in seedy Chinese opium dens without any clothes and painted blue.

Amanda of The Southern Unbelle

• One Night- In case 1 hour isn't enough to finish them off
• One Night- Endorsed by both Jack the Ripper and Florence Nightingale  

Red of Doesn't Speak Klingon

• Whoa! The formula for Pamprin!
• This will keep your woman sane during "that time of the month". Guaranteed.

Manzanita of Wanna Buy a Duck -  One Night....One Knight

Test Your Funny Bone #19: Modern Medicine

A few years ago, I was watching television and a pharmaceutical commercial was on. I don't remember the product or even what it was supposed to treat, but I do remember the disclaimer that came up on the bottom of the screen.

"It is unknown how this drug actually works."

There was no explanation for the statement. It just popped up on the screen for a couple of seconds and was gone. I'm guessing this is one of those drugs that was created accidentally. Viagra was not created with the purpose of what it is being used for today. Scientists were trying to create a new drug to combat hypertension. I don't know if they ever achieved their original goal, but somewhere along the line, they learned that their new wonder drug actually rerouted the blood flow. This happy, although unintentional, side effect became the new focus of the marketing campaign. Now, thanks to that lucky discovery, more men are getting lucky and our children are familiar with the term erectile dysfunction.

At least with Viagra, it is understood how it works. It may have happened on accident, but they understand the science behind it. With this drug I saw in the commercial, they don't know how it works. An unexpected side effect happened and I am sure they were excited and set to work right away to discover what caused it. I will give them the benefit of the doubt for that part. However, when they never found the cause, they decided to sell it anyway…and the FDA approved it for some reason.

I can't say that things have improved much over the years. For this week's Test Your Funny Bone, I have a picture of a product from almost a century ago.

Try our new improved daytime formula. Now with COCAINE.

It seems that today's illicit drugs used to be medicinal tonics. While today we take Nyquil to knock us out for a good night's sleep when we are sick, at one time marijuana, alcohol and chloroform were used to do the trick. I don't know what that would do for your cough, but I have absolutely no doubt that you would sleep through the night.

For this week's caption, I ask that you write a motto or slogan to go with this product. Leave your slogan in the comment section and I will post all responses next week*.

Have fun with it and make us laugh.

*I used to post responses on Friday, but I am moving them to Mondays. I will post the responses and new picture to caption on the same day (Monday).

Funny Bone Results #18 - Penguin Party

This week's caption contest featured my favorite animal - the PENGUIN!
I love them. As usual, I supplied the picture and the readers supplied the caption to go with it. There are no winners or prizes. Everyone just gets to play with no pressure. Well…maybe a little bit of pressure. I mean, I am going to post your responses up for everyone to see. So, there's that.

Funny Bone #18 - Penguin Party

I love penguins. Any time I go to the zoo (which isn't very often), I insist that we see the penguins first and then again on the way out. I love penguins.

I like them so much, when I got married we had a penguin bride and groom on the top of our wedding cake. It took a while to find those. Penguins hadn't yet gained the popularity they have today. Now they're everywhere. Well…images of penguins are everywhere. The actual penguins are mostly where they have always been.

For this week's caption picture, I have showcased my favorite animal. I would love to have the experience that this little girl is having. Turning around and seeing a bunch of penguins following me would be awesome. I just pray that if that ever does happen to me that I will have a camera with me…and some fish so they will keep following.

Alright! The rules are pretty simple. I have supplied the picture. Now you supply the caption. Leave your caption in the comment section. Leave as many as you want and do your best to make us laugh. Every caption I receive, I will post on Friday.

Have fun!

Funny Bone Results #17 - Car Trouble

On Monday, I told a few stories of close calls I had with the only brand new car I ever bought. Those stories led to the picture for this week's caption contest. I supplied the following picture and received captions from 14 different readers.

Here are the captions I received:


Addman of Muppets for Justice and Sinquiry

• The launch event for Renault's first underwater car turned into something of a wash out.

Shane Morgan of In Shane's Brain

• Unfortunately, Stacey learned her modeling and driving skills from Lindsay Lohan.

Rusty of Swinging Like a Rusty Gate

• When you park your car, you're not meant to leave your valuables in plain sight.

Test Your Funny Bone #17 - Car Trouble

Only picture of it I could find.

I have only bought a brand new car one time in my life. When I lived in San Juan, I bought a 2001 Suzuki Vitara. We drove that thing all over the island.

Once, while driving through Salinas looking for good seafood, I was following a local's instructions. I turned at an intersection and locked up my brakes because the road only went about 25 feet and then dropped off into the ocean. I didn't realize we were that close to water.

On another occasion, during a weekend excursion, we drove to the other side of the island to see the lighthouse at Cabo Rojo. We had to drive on this narrow strip of rocked road with the salt water immediately on each side to reach the area. It was beautiful, but being Midwestern landlubbers, we hadn't really figured out yet how tides work and why it is so important to pay attention to them. We started back too late and the road was underwater. Apparently, the lighthouse sits on an island in the evenings. I discovered it was only abut 6 inches deep at that point and it was only a quarter mile to get to the other side. I walked in front of the vehicle to be assured of where the road was while my wife drove behind me. We weren't going to get stuck on that island for the night.

Those close calls bring us to this weeks picture for you to caption. I do not know the story behind this picture, but I leave it up to you to decide. Please provide a caption in the comment section.

I will post the captions I received on Friday.

Thank you, have fun, and make us laugh.

Art Appreciation (Funny Bone Results #16)

I am feeling a bit of guilt this week because I have not posted a single time since my caption post on Monday. I try to blog at least once between these. I always hate to make excuses and I am not going to this time either except for one small detail. I am going to make an excuse.

I am down to the last two weeks of my class and I have been subbing more. So, I have been significantly busier this week and I expect the same for next week. I would promise to do better for next week, but I don't want to be a liar.

---

On to this week's picture - In Monday's post, I had a small rant about how I just don't appreciate some of the so-called art that is out there. I can appreciate talent even if I don't care for the piece. However, some "art" doesn't require any talent. A white canvas with a red square painted in the corner makes me sick when it is hanging on the wall of a museum. Sorry, they taught me how to do that in kindergarten.

The picture I supplied for the week was not that type of art. It is strange, but required an artist to create it. Here is the picture.

I asked my readers to provide a caption or try to explain the piece, but I gave them no information other than it was in Beijing.

Here is the little bit of info I do have about it. This sculpture is on display outside a cafe in the 798 art zone. The cafe used to be a machine tool factory. I know it's not much, but that all I could find.

Here are the submissions I received:

Addman of Muppets for Justice
 
The effort to teach children about the Tienanmen Square incident went a little off course...

Wily Guy of It's My mind!
 
Say Halo to My Lil Frien...

Not what she was expecting to see at the first diaper change.

A Beer for the Shower

As a professional artist, I think it's a satirical comment regarding neoclassical existentialism and its effect on postmodern humanism. LOL JK it's just a baby with a cock cannon. 

Christi
 

The artist was a 40 year old virgin and his inner child was tired of being repressed. One night after night after getting highly intoxicated, he commissioned this piece.
The inscription reads "Suck it world"
 

Sandee at Comedy Plus
 

I think he's just trying to take a dump.

ThePeachy1 of Being Peachy

"Don't act like no one told you YOUR life would REVOLVE around me,
get your a$$ up and feed me!"

"After finally and completely understanding the phallic stereo types, the entire male population of this country spent endless hours to create this commissioned piece that screams,
"we are not over compensating for anything!"

Hestia
 

I think it resembles Chairman Mao and probably is meant to portray 
"Our children are born on the backs of communism."
 

Hestia's daughter
 

"Buddha for the modern age"

Stephen Hayes of The Chubby Chatterbox

"Sitting on a tank just isn't curing my hemorrhoids.
I think I'll go back to using Preparation H."

Brandie Boddie of Penning Praises

Hmm, I don't know. Let's ask that baby from Family Guy. Seems like something he'd commission. Or maybe that was the artist's inspiration.

Red of Doesn't Speak Klingon

"Are Chinese babies getting fatter,
or is that just a teeny-tiny tank due to budget cuts?"

Rachael of Rachael's Insane Rants and Bizarre Musings

After years of abuse ,that often included being denied bathroom privileges, at the hands of an over-oppressive military father, the artist became disillusioned with the world. The baby represents his self as an angry child and the tank represents his now empowered self.

The expression on the baby's face is clearly saying, "Pi$$ on you all!"

Winopants of Wino on a Ramble

"Baby penis go BOOM!"

I think the artist is trying to say that dictators need to wave their military might around to compensate for their fragile egos and tiny pee pees.

Alex J. Cavanaugh

Thar she blows!

Test Your Funny Bone #16

I love art. I enjoy going to museums and admiring the talent of the people who create the pieces on display. Whether it is paintings, sculptures, glass blowing, whatever. I just love looking at the creativity. Plus, I love learning and am happy to read about the artists and what inspired them to create a particular piece. However, despite all this, I have to admit that this doesn't mean that I always 'get it.'

The Mona Lisa, despite being a boring piece to look at, is obviously art and took talent to create, but not all things that are considered art require any talent at all. I was at the Museum of Modern Art in New York City a few years ago and there was an entire floor dedicated to the art of one particular artist. As soon as we walked in, I noticed the naked man and woman standing in the corner facing each other. That was one piece of her art.

There was video footage playing of a woman holding a loaf of bread over a human skull. Nothing happened, she just stood there. In another room, there was a naked woman lying on a table with a skeleton lying on top of her. This was an actual woman, not a sculpture. According to the placard, it was supposed to represent how we should learn to embrace our own mortality. Another piece was an old woman and young girl sitting back to back with their hair tied together.

I'm sorry. I just don't get it and I really don't understand why people give her money to do this. I could do this. Much of what people call art is nothing and I just don't understand the obsession with it. I feel like I need to find a way to cash in on this, but I don't think I am pretentious enough. I don't believe I would want to hang around with all those art snobs anyway.

Sometimes, I may not 'get' a piece I am looking at, but can at least respect the talent that went into its creation. There is some strange stuff out there, and some of it is derived from incredible talent, while other stuff is not. I am not just saying this about pieces I don't like. It doesn't take talent to put broken glass on a newspaper and say that it represents urban decay. (I've actually seen this.) Some of those 'artists' just know how to play the game to make some money. Other artists are incredibly talented, but work in strange ways (butter carving, painting with penis, using blood as paint, etc). Despite any of this, I am obviously not cultured enough to be a part of the art world. Plus, I believe being successful as an artist involves schmoozing a lot of people at showings and I just can't tolerate most people that long.

One of the things that I have discovered is that a lot of art isn't so much about the talent poured into it as it is about the message that it is trying to portray. This is what brings us to our picture for the week.

This statue portraying a baby on a tank can be found in Beijing, China. Here is what I would like you to do. In the comment section, share your interpretation of this piece of artwork. There was definitely talent involved in creating this piece, but what was the artist trying to say?

Is it commemorating a particular event?
Is it speaking out against some social injustice?
Is it trying to raise awareness about a certain cause?

Leave your interpretation of this sculpture in the comment section and I will post all of your answers on Friday. As usual, this is not a serious exercise and I challenge you to make us laugh.

Funny Bone Results #15

For 15 weeks in a row, I have offered my readers the chance to show off their funny sides. Every week, we have received some great submissions.

Last Monday, I presented the following picture for you to supply a caption for. I received 15 captions from 13 different readers. The captions follow the picture. Only one person went for the whole ginger "they have no soul" hating route.

Neal Call of Raised by my Daughter

• Introduce Shakespeare to your kids at your own risk. For every "Much Ado About Nothing," you've also got a "Titus Andronicus."
   
• Groupies. Even Sweeney Todd has them.

Even that doll is prettier than I am.
What where they thinking when they made this cake?
I hate blondes.
Bitch.

Shane Morgan of In Shane's Brain

"Don't look up but I think that beef cake is checking me out"

Red of Doesn't Speak Klingon (my sweetie)

I wanted "Red Velvet Barbie"... she wears a red velvet dress, not a red velvet cake. Bleah.

Winopants of Wino on a Ramble

The travails of raising a ginger:
"But mommy, that's just plastic. When can I get a real soul for my birthday?"

Shannon of the Squeaky Wheel Blog

Marla's parents didn't exactly know how to tell their daughter that ginger girls don't get beautiful dresses to wear to dances they probably wouldn't be invited to anyway, so they opted to show her instead.

Kate Hall of Can I Get Another Bottle of Whine...

Oh Aunt Arlene, it looks just like me...beautiful.

Hestia

• Jackie really was not loving her mother's sample of how her debutant gown would look.

Thanks for playing and watch for a new picture on Monday.

Ash-matic of Ash-Matic Does Things

When I told these guys to look both ways when crossing the road, they thought I meant "cool" and "ridiculous".

One of these things is not like the others.

 Future so bright gotta wear shades!

Spike to Fido "Can you believe that guy is back... Do you really think he thinks he is one of us?... Maybe we can get him to pee on a tire."  

Shane Morgan of In Shane's Brain

Snoop's younger brother Woodstock and his K-Blinds never really caught on.

Yo, dog! No seriously, yo dog...check them out.

For Monday's post, I provided my readers with the following picture and asked them to try to guess what Col. Sanders and Alice Cooper might possibly be discussing.

Col. Sanders & Alice Cooper

Here are the entries I received:

Kevin of Who Woulda Thought

No, Alice. As much as I like saving money, biting the heads off bats and deep frying them will not pass off as chicken wings.

Misty of Misty's Laws

A little known fact . . . Alice Cooper actually worked for the Colonel. The Colonel would provide chickens to Alice, and he would proceed to bite off all the heads prior to their battering and deep frying. It truly was a symbiotic relationship.

Vinny C of As Vinny C's It

"Now, Alice, I'm sure you're a nice person & all. But when I agreed to go on this blind date you have to understand I had different expectations when I heard the name "Alice".

Winopants of Wino on a Ramble

They are discussing the possible use of Alice's rabid fans to pull apart chickens, vs using well trained factory workers to do the same job. Alice could throw a chicken to the crowd, and it would come out near the back door in pieces.

Eww. I just grossed myself out. I wish this wasn't based on real events.

Stacie of Snaps & Bits

They are discussing whether original or extra crispy goes better with beer.

Stephen Hayes of The Chubby Chatterbox

"No, Alice; marijuana isn't one of the secret spices."

Damyanti of Daily (w)rite and Amlokiblogs

You weren't quite what I was expecting when I heard the name Alice!

Rachael of Rachael's Insane Rants and Bizarre Musings

"Well, Alice, Kentucky beer, would be a great addition to the menu, but being a family restaurant and the fact that a liquor license would cost a fortune, going to have to pass."

Shane Morgan of In Shane's Brain

Col: You know, Alice, you really sucked in "Wayne's World."
Alice: Yup. (swigs beer)

Shannon of The Squeaky Wheel Blog

'he's smiling that creepy smile again isn't he? right behind me? can you distract him please? well, how should i know, pop the head off a baby doll and stick a snake in there. what? i don't KNOW, it just seems like the kind of thing he would like.' 

My Conversation

Honestly, Alice, I've never tried it. I would imagine they could be prepared the same way. Original recipe or extra crispy. Sure, it could be done, but bats are mammals and chickens are birds. I don't think they would taste the same.

Thank you to all of you who played. I will have a new picture posted Monday. Have a great weekend.

Finding Your Funny Bone #13

It's that time once again to see how funny my readers are, but this time we will be doing something a little different. First, I am moving this feature to Mondays and the results will be put up on Fridays. This should give more people the opportunity to participate. Second, this one will not be a caption.

Take a look at this week's picture.

Col. Sanders & Alice Cooper

I found this picture of Col. Sanders (founder of KFC) hanging out with Alice Cooper (original shock-rocker). However, there was no information to go with the picture. I don't even know what year it was taken. I also cannot figure out what in the world these two would have to discuss with each other.

This is where you, the reader, come in. In the comment section, let me know what you think they are discussing. You can write a whole dialogue or just give us the topic. I will be posting the results on Friday.

Good luck and make me laugh!

Funny Bone Results #12

I am trying something a little different this week with the picture caption game. I had been posting on Saturdays with the results going up the following Monday. However, the weekend is when blogs get the least amount of traffic. Starting this week. I am posting the picture on Mondays with the results going up on Friday.

Test Your Funny Bone #12

As soon as 2013 rolled around, I set a goal for myself of posting an average of three times per week for the entire year. So far, I am failing miserably. My classes are taking up more of my time than I had expected. I need to get into a more steady routine to accomplish this goal. I do not intend to use my classes an an excuse. They are the reason for my lack of posting, but I know I can find a way to make this work.

For the moment, here is our weekly Funny Bone feature. I supply the picture and you supply the caption to go with it.

Show us how funny you are. Put your funniest caption in the comment section and I will post the responses I received on Friday. I am going to move the days for this and see how it works out. After giving the results on Friday, I will start posting on Monday with the results coming in on Friday. I believe this will give more people the opportunity to participate.
