Previously our Friday procrastinate-until-you-can-sneak-out-of-work-early activities were Rorschach Inkblot Tests using the global heatmaps from Halo 3 as our images. The answers always varied from deeply insightful to side splitting hilarious, and I loved reading through them every week. Unfortunately there are only so many maps and we happily burned out way through them. That means it’s time for a new Friday activity.
I spend a decent amount of time these days scouring through screenshots for halo3screenshots.com. I find myself coming across ones that are so funny, they seem to be positively begging for a caption. Thus begins Friday Caption Fun. I’ll give you a screenshot, you come up with a caption (or 42 if you are NsU Soldier!). Just like with the Rorschach Inkblot Tests, I’ll do a recap on next week’s post of some of the funnier submissions.
Here is this week’s screenshot, which was taken by AusQB. I call it “oh shit” but I know you can do better. Hit me with your best captions!

Little Spartan soldier
Sat on a turret,
Sniping the noobs far away.
Along came a spider
Who sat down beside him
And blew Spartan Soldier away.
