Friday Caption Fun, Round 53

halo 3 screenshotWhile my favorite Halo 3 double experience playlist of choice is easily Team Flag, this weekend’s ‘4th of July‘ option sounds decently fun as well. I’d replace decently with exceptionally if it weren’t for the whole Rocket/Splaser Slayer thing. Talk about torture! I’ll tell you what’s not torture though, and that’s our regular screenshot captioning activities. Let’s recap the best of last week’s answers and then we can do it all over again!

  • “You sunk my battleship.” (AusQB)
  • “What! My entry in Hawty McBloggy’s Friday Caption Fun wasn’t chosen again!!!” (newguy2445)
  • “Gah! I’ll never figure out this HBO forum…” (mendicantbias00)
  • “NOOOOOO! Fucking Blue Screen in the middle of my raid!!!!” (angelofbacon)
  • “Confused and bewildered, the naive Elite believed it to be a mistake when Tartarus removed him from his friends list.” (Tactful)
  • “STOOOOSSSSSSHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!” (Terminator182)
  • “Brutes? What? Oh, ok. Hang on. I’m playing Peggle.” (SonofMacPhisto)
  • “Arby used MapQuest for the first time so he can find the nearest food nipple shop. After 2 weeks of traveling, he eventually stumbled upon a second Ark.” (retinence)


Last week I made a comment that the image didn’t have any obvious shock site references. I would like to officially take that back now as there were a minimum of three different comments pertaining just to that. Consider me impressed with your abilities to relate anything to that subject matter! This week the focus changes though as I selected an image relating to the holiday weekend. The theme of the week is ‘explosives’ and is there a screenshot better than this to reflect that? I think not so get to captioning!

    Bungie grew tired for requests for “flaming heads”, so they developed a new “flame” piece which resulted in a giant blue occupying the player’s head space, in hopes that players would be too embarrassed to ask for a giant blue ball to be placed on their heads. Unfortunately they were wrong.

      Also randomly quoting lines directly from (insert movie/tv show/etc line here) without adding any sort of clever twist does not make it funny or relevant – like, “Is it a spider?” yay we get it, rvb, but other than the fact that there’s a sticky in the picture that doesn’t have anything to do with anything.

    “See Chief? Now these are the kind of stickys your ass need to worry about. Just ’cause those split-lips have those tiny kinds of ‘em, don’t go running around, dodgin’ every single one. Now your ass just needs to worry about this kind. You don’t wanna end up like this guy.”

    After “finishing” Cortana the Chief came down with a serious case of blue ball. It is assumed that God removed his other “ball” as “their needs to be a limit on manliness”.

    A little known fact; the Chief has only one testicle and therefore only suffers from blue ball, it is speculated that his second testicle was removed due to the 360 being unable to render that much “manliness”.

    After seeing The Arbiter’s reaction to receiving a blue screen during his “WoW” time, the Chief tore off one of his nuts and handed it to the Arbiter, stating, “if by some chance you ever get laid, you’re going to need this”. That night Cortana struggled to finish the Chief, the Chief in horror realised how he had made a grave mistake. Unfortunately the Chief had not prepared for the case of blue balls he was about to suffer. So he embarked upon a journey to recover his missing testicle. Upon finding the Arbiter the Chief demanded his testicle be returned. “Were it so easy” was the response he was met with. Turns out the Arbiter interpreted “nut” as a literal meaning.

    *Fixin up previous entry*

    Bungie grew tired for requests for “flaming heads”, so they developed a new “flame” piece which resulted in a giant blue ball occupying the player’s head space, in hopes that players would be too embarrassed to ask for a giant blue ball to be placed on their heads. Unfortunately they were wrong.
