Three Cheers for Wayne Newton? Not This Bus Trip!

Hmmm, nothing more alluring to the modern youth than referencing Wayne Newton, eh?

I had no idea what to name this, but was listening to an old Gilbert Gottfried podcast with Bruce Vilanche, who mentioned a special variety show from the 70's called "Wayne Newton at Sea World" and I am pretty sure that influenced this caption. I hunted it down on Youtube, and WOW was it bad. The Paul Lynde Halloween Special was so much better. Apparently, Wayne Newton had a network special almost every year? Mind-blowing!

So, anyway, the caption pretty much speaks for itself. I was at a Native American casino a few weeks ago with my southern honey when she came up to visit .. and at one point, we saw a busload full of senior citizens plowing through the front doors like they were about to die in 6 hours and wanted to spend that time losing money so their horrible children that don't visit them anymore will have no inheritance when they finally kick off. Yeah, that's a bit harsh, but they literally were like locusts attacking a buffet.

I filed that away until I saw this picture, and then placed the cheerleader in a multi-use facility, merging the two for a caption starring Shauna Marie. I hope she's not offended if she read this blog post .. but I wasn't implying that she was like those 'senior elite' bus riders that I saw at the beginning of the month. Then again, if you can shave a bunch of years off your life, I wouldn't mind being slightly inconvenienced with insults. LOL

I just downloaded a newer version of Photo$hop so I'm getting the new preferences down pat .. I had been using a version from 2015, so it was time to update. This is the 3rd caption I've made with the updated version, so I'm now getting the hang of it. You'll see the other two soon. I'm just posting them out of order.

Now is the time where I ask you, the readers, what sort of plot or type of transformation you'd like to see next. I'm fairly open to suggestions. Maybe if you've got a 'short' idea, leave it below in the comments, and maybe that will be the next caption story I work on. Let it rip!


Enjoy! It's got Witchy-poo and The Wicked Witch of the West, along with Florence Henderson, Betty White, Pinky Tuscadero, Donnie and Marie Osmond, and of course, KISS!

    2. Hmmm, you don't remember Wayne Newton from Vegas Vacation? He's probably Mr. Las Vegas for a bunch of people!

  2. While Tom never had a chance to win at the slot machines, looks like he really came out a winner! Zoe

  3. Loved the caption! Geez, that transformation did not happen on the bus I got to Vegas. Obviously much better busses these days. I must try again.

    The native american casinos out of the main drag are much nicer really. Though of course same odds of losing all your money. What more magic can happen on one of those methinks.

    1. Now that I think about it, I have never ridden a bus once I got past high school. Hmmmm, maybe I should try and get on one of those gambling excursion bus trips to the casinos!
