Write some creative, pithy, thought-provoking, silly, happy, sad or descriptive captions and indicate which photo they are for. I will be picking winners and will update this page with the winning captions tomorrow. Have at it and have fun!

( I can't help it, that water thing reminded me of toilets in France - if you have ever been there, you will understand)
MAWB, yes, I've been to France, but your image reminds me of the concrete holes in the ground with footprints on either side in Romania. Thank you for playing!

I suppose that I'll have to post a recipe some Foody Tuesday on St. Louis style brains. I never could get past the idea of eating them, but there are small ethnic cafes all over St. Louis that still serve lots of "brain sandwiches," and assorted organ food (?) oddities.
Monte
I liked this game!
Schwing!
Monte, I've never tried brains and wouldn't rule it out. Not that I'm going out of my way for them, mind you. Thank you for playing. Enjoy your prize.
JK, I'm sensing a disturbance in the OS force that says people want to play again, so I'll work on that. Thank you!
For A, I thought Pamela's “Petrified Cauliflower” was good, as well as Randy's “Mr. Mandelbrot's Breakfast” and Blue's “Dandelion Blood.”
For C, I liked gm's blooming green pepper entry, though I doubt the Outback would feature anything that healthy as an appetizer. Pity. I love their steaks but their appetizers are scary.
Regarding D, I liked all Roy's Mandala things as a set. It didn't make as much sense to me as individual labels.
I also liked the Urban Glacier entry by Mr. Mustard for E. Michael's “Crystalline Revelation” was good, too.
FLW's “Schwing!” entry was as good as any for F. That was a hard one.
Cat, I'm glad you had a good time. It was fun, wasn't it?
So am I hearing more votes for doing this again some time???
We'll see. %;-)
