I'll have to watch "Final Sacrifice" now for the reverence now;) (Who am I kidding, that's just an excuse to watch it.)<br />If the Dixie Chicks see this cap, I wouldn't be surprised they'd reshoot the video. Not sure what version I like better, DC's or the Gimme Gimmes. But I like both versions better than the version of the Sons of the Desert.Helena Radianthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07628278680037628856noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1870069212223825401.post-14287162646124965302014-01-26T15:50:30.628-05:002014-01-26T15:50:30.628-05:00Naughty Caitlyn .. reading the caption before the ...Naughty Caitlyn .. reading the caption before the write-up, which I specifically had placed BEFORE the caption itself in the post! You are also naughty for lying to your co-worker that "Fifty Shades of Grey" was somehow, "well written" !!!<br /><br />I've had that issue as well with the more current "celebrities" that haven't done that much but are still notorious somehow. Its why I don't usually do cosplay captions either, as I'm not likely to know what characters the model is playing and I'm definitely bound to screw it up somehow! LOL<br /><br />I had a feeling that most people wouldn't get these captions without the back story, which is why I grouped them together here on a weekend post. However, since I am now trying to just write what comes out, and not necessarily just make trade captions, its inevitable that there are works that most people won't get .. and I'm fine with it. They'll be posted here as a blog exclusive and slowly make their way into the archives of the site.Dee Mentiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07798903090538917010noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1870069212223825401.post-31935058954462659212014-01-26T07:57:17.905-05:002014-01-26T07:57:17.905-05:00I really like the Goodbye Earl cap. I read it thr...I really like the Goodbye Earl cap. I read it through before reading either the title or the writeup and at first was confused as it didn't seem to be TG related at all... but that title wraps it up in a tight little bow! Brilliant. <br /><br />As for the others... I think this is one of the problems of 'pop' culture. Everyone's circle of known pop culture is different. I didn't get the cultural references in these so I doubt I got anywhere close to the 100% satisfaction they offered. They weren't bad, but I believe understanding the reference material would have completed the joy. <br /><br />Everyone's circle of pop culture knowledge is different. At work the other day a coworker went gaga over the new 'Fifty Shades of Grey' movie poster which I could appreciate having read the mommy porn books myself. Another co-worker not only hadn't read the books, but had no idea what they were about. It surprised me with as much as they are referenced in other forms of pop culture (late night television, morning shows, SNL...). I couldn't help having a little fun as I know she likes reading murder mystery books... so I told her it was a well written mystery novel and that she should read them. Tee Hee. <br /><br />The pop culture bug has hit me before when I've made caps for people who specifically request no photos of celebrities. Sadly I'm not up on all the 'new' young actresses and would often find a wonderful photo of a young celebrity and use it not knowing I was crossing one of their preferences. <br />Caitlyn Maskedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02732033913089350905noreply@blogger.com
