Being right correct is fun. Unfortunately, I've noticed on KOS that fun seems to get buried by wanting to break first, prove the most, and make the best points. My question to you is "where did the fun go?" Of course, what we discuss around here is important, but I feel there comes a time to kick back and enjoy the company of the like minded without contest... which is entirely why I have devised a generic, albeit - well..., fun - contest.
The rules are simple: we play for bragging rights & laughs.
Each Friday I will be posting an image related to current topics. Your job is to post a caption for said image in the comments (preferably in the subject) of the given thread. There are two winners each week: the one with the most recs for their caption and a "this was adier's favorite" award. The winners for each week will be posted on the following Friday along with the next image, starting a new thread/contest. Not so hard to follow, huh?
To keep this civil, please only vote for a maximum of two captions (so..., waiting might be an okay idea) per week. There is no real feasible way for me to keep up with this alone (mind you, every rec you make is logged), but I trust your ethics. THERE IS NO REC/VOTING FOR YOUR OWN CAPTION! Also, if you like this, please REC the diary so more people will notice and play.

If you still aren't convinced as to why we might do this, let me make a short point. Earlier today I found this update from a friend on Facebook:
I present to you the world's new Islamist-in-Chief, Barack Hussein Obama.
How's that for some bullshit?!
Naturally, I responded (because I can't help myself) and after some derivative babel, this response was posted:
Armaggedon could happen, when this happens make sure I have enough lavender lotion cause "Armageddon It". Isrealis Land is Deteriorating. wtf is the problem w/ these countries. I believe in those who conserve and look the jews own something like New Jersey. With counties and districts. I would say Hebrew.
I'm not making this up. In fact, it doesn't deserve my editing a few fat [sic]s into it over and over again. If this is what we're up against, we can take some time to relax and ruthlessly mock have a little fun between more serious topics. Hell, if we lose our sense of humor we'd be lost.

So without further adieu, here is the first of what will hopefully be received as a nice, sarcastiful [intentional sic] series of pagan-nonsensically-leftist [/sarcasm] humor for all of us to enjoy. Please be funny. Please...
