I'm Not Clowning Around!


Greasepaint was never this sexy!





Not sure why everyone was so shy the last few posts! Gave multiple chances for someone to be part of a caption idea I had. An anonymous person named Amy (Andrew) stepped up fearlessly to fill the role, and I hope she finds this at least somewhat amusing, or maybe she'll tell me, "You're just funny, it's... funny, the way you tell the story and everything." I guess its really hard to "bust your fuckin' balls" when they aren't there anymore!

I am thinking about doing another Mad Libs caption soon. Anyone else want to see something like that again? Takes a bit of work but it was fun to do if people are interested.

I was building a new computer last week .. bought a new part every few weeks since April until I had amassed almost everything I needed to make a brand new one (well I have to wait for a SSD and bluray drive!) Anyway, I took the time to assemble everything .. plugged it in and .. fans worked and there was power going into the system, but it wouldn't POST at all .. no beeps or anything! Looking it up online, it seems that this is a fairly common event .. BOOOO!! Now I have to drive 90 minutes to the local Micro Center to return the motherboard. Of course, I talked to friends who needed parts SOOOO at least I am picking up a bunch of stuff while I'm there. Just hoping that the NEW board works. It'll get real sickening to have to keep pulling parts out back and driving back and forth to replace them.

Football started up again on Wednesday, and it the first Sunday of the season this weekend. I can't wait .. GO PATS! I'm in the Haven Fantasy Football league this year. Its a head to head competition, where the loser has to make the winner a caption. I am hoping that I don't have to make too many over the next 15-16 weeks. Any week I lose, I'll be posting the captions here as well as in the winners folder on the Haven. Maybe I'll ask if the captions I receive can be posted here too!

Talking about building my new computer rig, I thought about a really cool song by Johnny Cash, so I posted the song here. Its a cute little story and hopefully I'll get as much enjoyment out of my new puter as I have done with this one.

  2. That's a different Anon, this is Andrew. I love the caption, it certainly is weird. Though I think you managed to expose me for the amateur film watcher I am, the reference has eluded me.

    Again though great cap, and thanks a lot! :)

    1. The "I mean, funny like a clown. I amuse you?" and the quotes in my post were from the classic movie, "Goodfellas". The line from the caption is infamous as one of Joe Pesci's outbursts.

      Glad you liked it though!

  3. I wouldn't mind being boobie's the clown, people can play with my balloons and I can honk their horn!

    I haven't joined in on any mad lib's stuff in the past, but caption contests and the like, that invite readers to participate are always fun. I've thought of doing one or two in the past. One's a bit more involved and would require plenty of people to reply and post.

    The other would just be something I've seen in the past. One caption artist starts off a story, and then another one picks it up and takes it where they want to take it, and so on and so on. until finally you reach the end of how ever many people signed up to tell the story.

    I've got a video card and a monitor set back for my little brother, hoping to buy more pieceies at the beginning of next year.

    1. So you are drifting away from the laptop? I thought that was easier for you to hide the laptop when people were in the room?

      That chain thing sounds good, though wouldn't you need a number of sets of the same model? Maybe we can do something like that!

    2. I figured as long as the story stayed somewhat the same, we didn't need a set of pics to keep it going. It's just one artist's interruption of what the girl in the story looks like.

      And I'm sticking with the laptop. I said that I was buying pieces for my little brother.

  4. I read it quickly and thought you said "from my little brother" instead of "for my little brother."

  5. Hawt little caption... I caught the Pesci reference, as Goodfellas is an all-time fave :)
