Caption Contest 1

While browsing and grazing at Sam's Club this afternoon, I came across this charming little tableau. Actually, not so little... the creche figures are from a $400 outdoor set, and Santa is a life-sized robot.

Anyhow, the scene cried out to be photographed and captioned. I've taken care of the first part - the captioning, though, is in your hands.

Please post your best captions either at the pic's Flickr page or as a comment on this blog post. Or, if you like, add your own thought or speech balloons through the miracle of Photoshop, and e-mail the results to me.

Once I think everyone's had a chance to respond who's going to respond, I'll choose a winning caption, and feature it on my blog.

Have fun, keep it clean (if you want it to be the Grand Prize Winner, anyhow), and let the best woman / man / beast / yard figurine win!

  • Santa Claus Replaces Unsafe Toys. Judea, 3 B.C.E. (AP): Despite the urging of the Consumer Product Safety Commission of Rome against gifting infants with gold, frankincense, and myrrh, several kings of the Orient have taken it upon themselves to disregard the warning. However, Santa Claus has taken it upon himself to save the Holidays for children given such unthinking gifts. Joseph, father of Jesus, was thankful for such action. "I just don't know what they were thinking. What can an infant do with gold? And incense would be horrible for an infant's lungs. And the myrrh, well, I'm not even sure what that is." Shortly after the kings arrived, Santa visited and exchanged their gifts for more appropriate ones. "Santa has been a savior today. Little Jesus loves his Tickle Me Elmo," said Mary, the mother to the newborn babe. Santa himself urged people to reconsider giving infants gold, frankincense, and myrrh. "Safe toys should be a priority this season, and every season. An unsafe product could kill little Jesus before his time, and who knows what this little guy could achieve?"
