Over at Screaming Me-Me you can find a caption contest from time to time. The moment I happened upon her site, I was hooked into the idea. I was also totally heebeejeebeed out by the picture, and with that kind of inspiration, one must join in the fray. In fact, I entered one caption and then thought of another. There in front of my laptop, in private, I bathed in the warm flashes of one idea after the other, in a veritable caption frenzy. My famously nimble mind (forget about that last post) not only fostered a cornucopia of captions, but in my creative genesis, I became . . . a captionista!
Talk about an achievement! And look at this bold symbol of my ascension to grace. Does that not look like another important international symbol of celebrity?
Oh, people, I was so WRONG when I vowed not to make any New Year's resolutions for 2010. I should totally have proclaimed, I shall win a caption contest and become a badass captionista (I just added that badass part because, frankly, captionista lacks the intimidation factor necessary to strike fear into the hearts of anyone daring to compete with me. Obviously, I am not one to be trifled with). So if I'd made that incredibly challenging NYE resolution, then all of my out-of-the-gate unachievements accrued since January 1 to date would by now have gone the way of the 8-track. Oh, yes. One caption win has that much power.
So thank you, Screaming Me-Me, for discovering my true talent and appropriately rewarding me. People, go here and witness my genius: FL's Genius Photo Caption
Of course, it's possible that a long dry spell could intervene between this achievement and the next. Hmmm. Wait, forget I said all this. Just forget it, will you? If I never win another caption contest, I'll be incomparably humiliated. So really, forget I mentioned it. I beg you.

If you would like more caption challenges, go to reflectionsofamiddle-agedfatwoman.blogspot.com. She posts up caption contests every once in a while. Her blog is a total hoot, too.
Congrats on your award. Word of advice: Don't put it next to suedey or it may be lost for months.
I stand in awe of your captioning talent.
Congratulations!
I bow before the bad-ass captionista! You rule!
Isn't a captionista a well-dressed Central American guerilla fighter?
BTW, that caption photo was just naz-tee! Caption was hilarious, though :)
You always know what to say.
Badass Captionista is the least of it. But a fine title nonetheless.
Congratulations!
Congratulations! Well done!
I hope to see you each and every Wednesday for Caption This!
I can see that captioning would be one of your talents, as you excel at the witty one-liner. I used to enter Diesel's caption contests, and I sucked at it, as I needed about 500 words to even attempt wit. Le sigh.
I feel inadequate in any response that I could give to you, as it would fail to encapsulate your genius.
your genius is huge! lol.
FL, I've always known you were several shades of genius.

Phew! That gig sounds like it would involve 6 in platform heels and a whole mess of sequins. Congrats!
I am crapparooney at the captions but love reading others. Congratulations smart ass ;0))
cornucopia of captions . . . a captionista!
Where do you get this stuff! You seem so normal in person. I think you need to get out more.
Do you get a t-shirt? I totally think you need a t-shirt!
Congratulations!
