Commenter Appreciation: Simon (Wordless Wednesday #10)

Ah, Simon...my Northern friend with an enlarged vocabulary. I met him through Cheeseburger Brown's comment section and thought to myself "Wow, that guy's a geek." Later I realized that he's disturbingly like me...which probably tells you more about me than it does about Simon.

He runs a thoroughly entertaining blog called Simian Farmer where he shows off both his wit and his adorable kids.

I thought about posting an appreciation to Simon with some sort of Star Wars theme. Nah...too obvious. Instead it occurred to me that few things make Simon happier than making inappropriate captions to other people's pictures. And so, with that in mind, I dug into my archives to find a picture that would serve as open season for Captain Caption.

Also, it bugs him when I post my Wordless Wednesdays on Tuesday night. So here, Simon...it's Friday morning and I'm still calling this one a WW. And it's not even wordless!! Deal with it ;)

Note: Everyone is encouraged to have some caption fun with this one. I'll chime in later today to explain the origin of this gem.

Ah sweet! A place where I'm actually encouraged to make inappropriate captions and don't have to worry about annoying, family-friendly filters...

******

Guy on Left: Hey! I can't feel his manliness!

Girl (?) on Right: Tee hee! That's because I'm holding on to him.

******

Moksha: Oh my gawd, I can't believe I decided to wear these boots with this tunic. They totally clash!

******

Molly stared up adoringly at Moksha, her heart's desire resting in the hope that he noticed her pig-tails and the shade of lipstick he had said was his favourite. Tonight would be magic.

******

Oleg and Molly lifted Moksha on their arms, preparing for the trio's final acrobatic manoeuvre of the night: The Flying Eggplant! Moksha, meanwhile, was busy regretting that third helping of freshly shucked oysters with tabasco sauce he'd wolfed down for dinner. At least he knew which of his team mates would be safer to puke on -- sartorially speaking.

******

I don't know why he swallowed that fly. Perhaps he'll die.

Another admission, Moksha. I don't know whether it's been intentional or not, but me being the grammar pedant that I am, and you being the Gren that you sometimes choose to be, I can't help but wonder, every single time I come here, whether or not you mean for my link to be the only one that's misspelled on your blogroll. If so, then your cruel subtleties are terrifyingly boundless. If not, then it's deliciously ironic. Either way, I've enjoyed my stint so far as "Simain Farmer" and have exercised incredible restraint by not mentioning it.

Sorry, but bathroom humor was all I had left after Simon's barrage.

Moksha Gren said...

Simon - Not bad. However...you might like to try a few more since you made a fundamental error in you rfirst run. I'm not the one in the tunic. Nor am I the one in the black sleeveless.

Simon said...

Oops...

******

Moksha gazes soulfully up at the man who will never return his love. The makeup and pigtails are for naught, and the smile never reaches Moksha's eyes. He dies a little on the inside.

******

"Oh my gawd, where's your OTHER hand?! That hurts!"

******

"Am I pretty?"

"Blaaaarrrrrghhh...."

******

"Framer"

Nice. Now I'm a gorilla with a tool belt who likes to put up garages.

Moksha Gren said...

Si - Yeah...like a gorilla with a hoe is any better ;)

The "Am I pretty?" gave me a good laugh. I knew you could find some gold in this picture.

Mark - Also fun. I had been anticipating a puke joke or two...but hadn't seen the possible olfactory justification for the pose. Nicely did, sir.

The story - This was the front page of my college newspaper. During my senior year (as I've previously mentioned here...or maybe on some other conversational thread) I was involed with Prism, our campus gay and lesbian organization. I had several good friends who were homosexual so it seemed quite natural for me to support the cause. But it caused my family no end of stres as they all just waited in horror for me to come out of the closet. Anyway...that year, as part of a comedy skit competiton, Prism teamed up with the Society for Creative Anachronisms (those folks who dress up all medieval like and hit each other with padded swords) to put on a skit. We did this odd merge of Monty Python meets Rocky Horror with an Indiana Jones theme. The shot you see here is from our big swing dance number at the end.

I'll admit that I requested for my Mom to add this picture to her permanent file of my accomplishments partially because I knew how much it disturbed her. (The idea of me in drag was much more threatening to her in the days before I got married and produced a granddaughter) But, the up side was that when I remembered the picture for this caption fun...all I had to do was call MoMa and ask her to scan it and email it to me.

She was willing to laugh about it now ;)

Mark said...

"Simian Framer" gave me a good laugh.

Now I might change Alvis' link on my blog to "What I'm Really Drinking."

Might get him more hits that way.

Simon said...

My own mother was marginally put out when she finally realised that I was never going to end up attending seminary with a dream of someday becoming a Catholic bishop or some such thing. Her views, too, have softened over the years.

Very fun, Moksha.

Moksha Gren said...

Mark - Not much you can do with your title. "Regular Lice?" Don't think it would increase your click-through ;)

Simon - "Father Simon gave a beautiful sermon today."

"What was it about?"

"Not sure yet...I've got a list of words to look up, then I'll let you know. But, it sounded great."

Mark said...

It's eerily coincidental that we both did a "write your own caption" post on the same day.

Great minds and all that kiss butty stuff.

Stephanie said...

I showed Mus this image. All he said was "wow."

:)

I am thinking of Planes, Trains and Automoblies...

"Where is your hand?"

" Between two pillows..."

"THOSE ARENT PILLOWS!"

Hehehe. Great pic....your expression is priceless! It is so good to be back! Hope you are well!

TALTAP also has a picture in pigtails and a whole bunch of lipstick. Thankfully, I don't see many women who actually dress like this:)
