Week of Nov. 16th to Nov. 22nd, 2009

[Debbie D]

Wow... last weeks image was a total bomb for those with poor caption skills. Only the best survived that one and there were some GREAT captions, but alas I always wish for multiple pages of entries to choose from. This week it's back to one single picture as 2 pictures proved too much for some :thumbsdownbud:.

Post your best Ripper, Non-Ripper, Brown Related, and Caption Most Foul for this image. Tel may substitute the " Caption Most Foul" for a Titan Uranus Caption.:lol:

[Sam Flynn]

JTR-related: "So follow me, follow, down to Swallow Gardens."

Non-related: Dear, sweet, blind Laetitia's love knew no bounds; and Gaston, it seemed, had found true contentment at last. However neither had reckoned on the Brussels sprouts, the effects of which were about to kick in... with catastrophic consequences.

[Jon Simons]

Amelia put on a brave face whilst waiting for her hippo-peration.

[Robert Linford]

For the Philadelphia Amateur Dramatic production of A Midsummer Night's Dream, Howard not only turned up with a hippo's head instead of an ass's, but went around asking all the women "have you seen my Bottom?"

Rosie swore her friend said he was a hippy, when she agreed to the blind date.

Artist's conception of how Jack the Rippo may have encountered his victims.

[Caroline Morris]

"Oh but you are beastly, Sir! How is a good girl meant to resist such raw animal charm? Oh what the hell? Come on big boy, let's get down and dirty in this muddy puddle and do it hippo style."

From Lady Deborah does Regent's Park by Barbara Cartland.

[Robert Linford]

And lo! Terrible to behold, instead of a prince the frog turned into a hippo. Wait till she got her hands on that idiot Donston.

[admin tim]

"It's true, my dear; I was the actor who portrayed Mr. Creosote in that Meaning of Life film. Now come with me and I'll show you my commemorative etchings."

Ripper

The Beast: "Shall we do the Gay Gordons, dearest heart?"

Pearly Poll: "Oh Christ, I've been rumbled. You're Dr Tumblety in disguise, aren't you?"

[tel]

Does my bum look big in this?

Don't be such a hippocrite deary, you know it does.

[Caroline Morris]

Most Foul:

"How are you enjoying the dance, my dear Mr Beestly?"

"In truth, not much Agnes. I'm wondering if I will ever fit in."

"Ah, then wonder no more, sir. I have a large jar of strawberry flavoured candle grease in my pocket."

"How thoughtful of you."

From Lady Debbie Does the Hammersmith Palais, by Barbara Cartland.

[Robert Linford]

"I shouldn't have come to this restaurant. The proprietor Mr Brown wants to serve me to his customers to eat."

"Surely you're mistaken, sir?"

"Oh yes? Then look at this menu : river horse d'oeuvres."


One for the Brits:
Ok, five bob for a quick one down the alley, but let's make it snappy - Bungle and Zippy are already out looking for me.
