Caption Battle: Omega-3 With Style...

"It's that time again..."
"To unleash all zig?"
"To feel asleep?"
"No... it's time for this week's caption battle!"

But first, last week's winners:

In third place, catering to the Medieval Studies student in me: Rageon!

Memento mori

In second place, imparting words of wisdom: KeenHavoc!

In a global recession a smart man invests in potatoes,
but the smarter man diversifies with lead.

And in the coveted first place with the best reference to current events this week... Kimmeh!

Germany: IT'S BECAUSE OF YOUR DAMN REF I LOST THAT GAME AGAINST SERBIA.

Bwahaha... oh soccer fans... moving on...

This week's screencap comes once again from the vast repository of Desbreko: 1.11 You Are (Not) Moe and features the series Kaichou wa Maid-sama!. Dude cracking the egg is Usui Takumi. The rest is pretty self-explanatory:

You know the drill: type up the funniest, wittiest, most original caption you can think of for the screencap above in the comments below. Also, if any of you would like some tips on writing a great caption, you can find those here.

And like always, theOtaku is open to all submissions and suggestions for weekly feature content. You have a screencap you want used, you can PM me and we can do somethin' about it. So good luck, and remember: if rocks fall, everybody dies.

theOtaku.com Anime Podcast VIII - Ep. 7

For the record, I posted the ukelele thingy here not because I was afraid of random strangers checking out my blog. I just kinda figured there's no sense in letting my numbers boost on the main site's account. That'd just seem unfair and stuff. Probably. Also, if Ichigo doesn't get at least eight comments this week (not counting mine), he's gonna stop doing the podcast because people aren't interested.

Probably.

Caption Battle: Reich Beats Res Publica...

"It's that time again..."
"To work on cardio?"
"To stop talking trash?"
"No... it's time for this week's caption battle!"

But first, last week's winners:

In third place, speaking nothing but the truth: Grayfire!

Obviously, gas prices are too high.

In second place, with an inconvenient caption: Neko Nana Mode!

Haruhi stands tall as she guides her minions in the ways of Al Gore.

And in the coveted first place, with what I can simply describe as "truly amusing literature"... the returning caption champion, Ace!

This looks profoundly unsafe at first glance, but upon further investigation, you will notice that Yuki is actually riding an invisible unicycle, meaning that what you are witnessing is only remarkably unsafe.

Y'know, even with as few entries as we had, I quite enjoyed many of them. Well done, folks.

This week's screencap comes courtesy of ouransgirl and features the series Hetalia: Axis Powers. On the left is the Roman Empire; on the right is Germany. It's Hetalia, that's how they roll:

Ichigo, you're a nice guy trying to plug my blog and stuff. Tell ya what, though, I'll selflessly let people skip the middle ground and go straight to the delicious ukeleleness here. And yeah, I'm pretty sure somewhere on the profile says he's Japanese:

Also, just a reminder that Ichigo is totally an independent contractor to the site; he does things we don't tell him to. Just sayin'.

Caption Battle: Five Kids, Two Bikes, No Cups...

"It's that time again..."
"To fix our kneepads?"
"To figure out what to do when Hulkamania runs wild?"
"No... it's time for this week's caption battle!"

But first, last week's winners:

In third place, keeping it current: DemonKingAtticus!

Hitomi: Come on guys! I just want to watch the World Cup!

In second place, keeping it current but playing up the scenario even more: KeenHavoc!

One girl discovers that the only things in the ocean more scary than an oil spill are the people they send and their plans to fix it.

And in the coveted first place with a nice little bit of snap to it... batosai33!

Sometimes you have to ask yourself: is it more dangerous to take the drugs, or be the only one in the room who DIDN'T take the drugs?

Drugs're bad, mmkay? Moving on...
