Caption Contest: Holmes & Fenty Testimony Photo
Today’s Metroblogging DC Caption Contest stars this photograph from the Washington Post article “Senate Panel Hears String of Impassioned Appeals” as I am speechless with its juxtaposition of expressions.
The reader who submits the best caption to this photograph in the comments section below, will receive a Metroblogging DC T-shirt. Extra points if Eleanor Holmes Norton yeilds no ground to Adrian Fenty.
“Grr! Where’s MY name tag?”
“‘The Aristocrats’? I don’t get it, damn it!”
DC politicos enjoy the Tobias Effect.
I already have an MBDC shirt, but just because the photo is hilarious:
“Your soul, I will eat it.”
Or lolcat style: “I iz chargin teh lazors. DC Vote! NAO!”
“In an unexpected move, Mayor Fenty brought along a portrait which had been stored in his attic for some years…”
“I AM the rightful Mayor of DC! Where’s my iron mask?”
“Okay Eleanor, I think they’ve had enough bad cop for now.”
“I am not saying that there would be consequences for the failure for this legislation but tell me – do you really want to risk this? I mean c’mon – she knows where you park, she knows where to find a crowbar and either way you’re still stuck with her till the district residents vote otherwise.”
Without EX-LAX.
With EX-LAX.
“Heh heh, Ellie pooted. Heh.”
“Mayor Fenty farted again!” -Eleanor Norton
“Mayor Fenty could you please have Suge Knight (in the back of the room)escort your drunk Grandma out of this hearing please”
“Grrr we want representation!” -Eleanor Norton
“Did someone say skittles?” – Mayor Fenty
“We would like to thank the Senators for the rather…uh… graphic depiction of the relationship between the Federal Government and the District regarding voting rights. If the gentlemen would care to, um…zip up, I suppose that would be alright.
Questions?”
And now we’ll hear from Senator Fenty…
“Norton and Fenty view proposed advertising materials which the 3124 Corporation wishes to hang from area lightposts.”
“Momma always told me it’ll stick if I did it too much.”
“You’re never going to find the little man in the boat with both hands on the table.”
“Mayor Fenty.. Sir, can you please put your pants back on!”
“No Mayor.. this is not the ‘No pants party'”
…the transformation from Eleanor Norton into the Hulk took 30 seconds and a glass of water.
“ELEANOR SMASH!”
If it wasn’t for those meddling representatives and their darn Mayor of DC, I would have gotten away with it too.
Running for Mayor: wads of cash
Taking over the schools: big hairy balls
Passing gas in Congress: priceless
Fenty: {Under Breath} “C’mon Ellie – You know you want some of this…I even have the keys to Marion Barry’s ‘Private” office.”
Norton: “No means no, Adrian, I WILL NOT YIELD!!!”
Hey look at that Wayan – yIEld. huh.
Smoking marijuana often has different effects on people.
And then the stripper violated the DC smoking ban with her rejuvenated vagina
Get your captions in folks – contest ends tonight (Thurs) @ midnight!
I made a poopy. Auntie Eleanor can you change me?
Wow! Great captions everyone. I’ll have to have a think about who won – got any favorites you’re pulling for?
So…who won?
