Caption Me! A seal and some penguins….
Okay, I know there are some VERY creative people out there. I must have laughed for a straight ten minutes when I saw this photo – the happy, HAPPY look on the seal’s face. Alas… captioning is NOT my forte. So let’s hear it! Give me one, give me a dozen – don’t be shy. There are no wrong answers. Then I will create and post them all like I did for the “Dog and Cat… Caught in the Act!” image.

Good grief Michelle, I’m just gawd-awful at the captioning thing. But I’ll bookmark this one in case I think of something, as well as to check back to see what others come up with! 😀
BTW, I noticed the cool cat leaping animated GIF is gone. Too bad. I was hoping to compare it to this one: http://cheezburger.com/6431923712

I’m really bad at the captioning thing Michelle, but I’ll be watching to comments for inspiration. Assuming comments are possible that is. WP appears to have eaten my first attempt!!! 😯
BTW, I was disappointed to see that the leaping cat GIF is no longer here. I was hoping to compare it to Animal Gifs: Cat Skills… 😀

Seal: It’s show time in 15 minutes, and this could be a tough crowd since it’s one of those formal attire affairs, and some of these rich folk are just too prim and proper for their own good, with their beaks always in the air, to get loose and do some real belly laughing. But I’m feeling really “on” right now, and ready to go out there and knock ’em dead!
And hey, even if they don’t like my act and start giving me a hard time, well that’s when I call in my buddy Leo the Leopard Seal, cause he’ll just eat all the little pricks and bitches, since they’re his favorite food anyway, and then it’s game over, problem solved. And me? I’m back in The Walrus Lounge – where they really know how to have a good time, and they always love my act.
Yeah, I’m feeling real good right now and that’s why I’m smiling, cause even if I lose this one, I still win! Woo Hoo!!!

I’m working on very little sleep myself. So ready to get out of work and go home.
Hey, you’ve done stand up comedy… you’re used to telling funny stories, not give 4 word captions!
LikeLike
Well I can see that you and I have similar sleep habits, as in we both have a habit of not sleeping much at all.
And while true that telling funny stories has been my trade, I still should be able to come up with a short and simple funny one liner, and normally I could do it without a problem. But on no sleep? Numerous synapse misfires will make a successful one liner unlikely.
But thanks all the same, and I hope that you get some rest tonight. Hell, I hope that I get some rest tonight too! Sometimes that OTHER thing that people do in bed is a really great experience… It feels wonderful, and it’s called… sleep.
Maybe we don’t know each other well enough yet, but I have some favorite positions that I like to sleep in, and hey, if you ever want to try out something new, I’d be happy to share what I know. Lol 🙂
So Michelle, never forget, that like change, sleep is also possible, and we are the sleep that we have been waiting for, and waiting for, for far too long.
YES WE CAN!!! Sleep… Lol 😀
