So... I'm tired. In light of this, I thought to myself, "How can I post an article, with less work?" And the answer struck me as clearly as it did the first two times I asked that question... Submit A Caption!
It's that simple. Previously, the winning caption-maker had their caption inserted into the cartoon, and their url was posted (if they had one). This time, I think I'll go one step further, and send the winner the original art. Sound like a plan? Very well... let the captioning begin!
There are currently 128 comments.
"The Robber-Clowns? Why coulnd't we just disguise ourselves as american presidents like the other robbers?"
What's with that hanging sausage anyway?
"You distract the kids' attention, while I try to rescue poor Zany. Remember, do NOT let them know they're blanks!"
"Hey I know it's a kids party we're going to but maybe we're being a bit paranoid"
Haha, now I see... Why do I think everything is a sausage? I nearly ate a small dog the other day for the same reason!
The accidental shooting of three innocent monkeys and an inability to make a heroin-filled-balloon animal that wasn't a snake spelled the end of Clancy's membership in the Clown Drug Syndicate.
Or:
"That level of marksmanship is exactly why you'll never make Cirque du Soleil."
"OK, I did'nt say anything when you threw a pie at the dead gaurd. I kept my mouth shut when you did that dance as we were blowing the safe. But damnit Chuckles...you just dont fucking shoot balloons."
"It wasn't a grenade you fool. The mime was holding his colostome bag!"
"This Balloon had Only Two Days Left 'Till Retirement!"
Oh god. Sorry. that doesn't even make sense.
"My nose may look like a pecker but I don't want to wear a condom as a disguise, OK?"
"So I asked her what we could use for protection and she gave me this."
"Synchronized blindfolded balloon-shooting, Frank?!? Yep, this is right up there with your 'exploding-bunny-juggling' idea..."
"Witnesses identified the perpetrators as one clown, and one masked man."
Cliff realised Dave didn't see the funny side of putting a balloon on the exhaust of the getaway car.
"Quick, make a balloon baby, they'll think we've taken a hostage."
"The Joker's budget is streched a liitle thin, we've only got two bullets and a water ballon to use against Batman."
"Awww, snap!"
"Next time you want to shoot blanks in public at least stick it in here, ok? You're scarin' all the kids."
"Yeah..I agree Nick, it's a great disguise. But clowns just make me jumpy, you know... JUMPY!!"
"Alright, let's do this. I don't care who's birthday it is...little Timmy has popped his last balloon animal."
"If the magicians are gonna take out our balloon, then it's bye bye for their bunny."
Let me try that again:
"I know the Goldblum Bat Mitzvah is a big gig, but now The Magicians have gone to far..."
And combined:
"I know the Goldblum Bat Mitzvah is a big gig, but now The Magicians have gone to far. Let's see how kids like pulling dead bunnies out of hats."
that should be "too far."
Ha! I beat you all to it!
(this is not a a caption suggestion...unless it could somehow win.)
"How are we going to pull this off if you keep forgetting your whoopee cushion Frank."
"So then I says, 'Look: A-, Useability: C-, Horizontal Scrolling/Fixed Width Layout: F-' Get it? F Minus?! Like it's so bad that you get an F MINUS?"
I said "Bring something to blow the safe," NOT "Bring some kind of blow up snake!"
ha hah...that's funny, Anthony! he gets my vote. hey, Kevin, when's the deadline for submissions?
"The screaming, the yelling, the crying children.
10 years... Zabbo and Twinkles had had enough.
There would be no smiles in Happy Town today."
"So the Priest says to the three-legged dog-... Stuart, are you even listening to me?"
"Clown-Qaeda had managed to succeed in frightening the general population, but their failure to assimilate made them easy targets for the FBI and precision-guided pies."
water pistols............check.
fake noses...............check.
balloon filled with nitroglycerine.....check.
You ready for this?
"Shut up, stop looking so confused and call Charlton Heston - tell him the NRA NEEDS more armed clowns with limp weiners..."
Whoa! I walk away for an hour or two, and tons of captions!
To answer your questions, Nary - I think I'll decide the winner on Monday...
"OK, let's go over this again... Clowns don't need ski masks for a heist and balloons aren't silencers. GOT IT??"
"After bozzos intence traning in guerrilla tactics, he is now read to make ballon animals."
So... I'VE got this limp balloon and some little girl has a dog made out of an ammo belt...
Bobo's ballon gun syndicate had been discovered...It was Twinkles that blew their cover..today would be his last.
"Rusty had the sudden, sneaking suspicion that Steve wasn't castrated like the rest of them, but merely faking his high-pitched tone..."
throw back to UCB. kudos if you caught on.
"Alright, Artie. Men in our positions can't afford to be made to look ridiculous. You'll find we take our business very personally."
"Nice shot, stupid! That was our one and only get-away balloon!!"
no caption but the clown on the left seems to have frighteningly thin arms, don't they get fed in clown-gangster school?
How many times do I have to tell you?
Don't waste the ammo on the balloons!
Pedro - Well - that's up to YOU to decide :D
Relain - It's not that his arms are so thin.. it's that his PANTS are so baggy. You know... to hold other clowns.
Mikkel - Alright Mikkel - I give you "sausage credit" :D
Meanwhile in Camp Freddy's apartment:
"So Cliff if you can remove your mask and look worried, and Dave if you can look angry.....Ooh yeah that hits the spot."
To the chagrin of his man servants, Camp Freddy's penchant for angry clowns got the better of him.
Damn that Axel Foley. Next time we were not gonna fall for no sausage in the tailpipe.
Bozo was pretty pissed that Chester used water granades during the robery.
Kim: your second one made me laugh out loud. hee hee...I vote kim.
but i don't think my votem matters. unless...
Much to the dismay of the rest of the gang, Hilario the Clown had no idea how to NOT clown around.
An edit:
Much to the dismay of the rest of the Giggle Gang, Hilario the Clown had no idea how to STOP clowning around.
Dave figured if dressing up as clowns didn't help him and Cliff win the caption competition, perhaps the guns would. If that failed, they could always resort to tying up Mr Cornell with balloons.
JR - Some dynamite captions!
Stuart - This caption scares me! :D
(Inspired by JR)
Lieutenant Jefferies of the Special Air Service realised there had been a terrible mix up at the dry cleaners.
"What do you mean you mis-read the contract...why would you agree to do an 'Al-Queda' Birthday party anyway??
Honestly Steve, It's called a waterballoon not a semenballoon...
After all we've been through... this is how you repay me. A balloon filled with whiskey.
Though the children were amused, the parents did not find baloon animals filled with actual pig intestines to be in "good taste." However, Alpo and Kirby demanded payment in full.
"Knowing that they were most likely going on a suicide mission, Giggles, naive and embarrassed, asked Zaney Lou to demonstrate exactly how babies are made."
"To Zaney Lou's disgust, Giggles was about to compromise the whole mission with a terrible case of clown diarrhea."
"We demand a million in small bills. They give me this. I hate funny cops."
Jojo
"I thought it was smart to use these as a disguise... the cops won't be looking for clowns”
Bobo

Visa: The card chosen by angry clowns the world over.
After the tragic, and accidental loss of his close partner,undercover agent B. Allon, Frank realized he just really wasn't cut out for the Undercover Clown Agency anymore.
"Listen Frank, when you made me..."
"You call me Smiles from now on, you hear that?"
"Look, Frank, change of plans. Gimme that semi. Take this instead. Don't worry, I got your back. Ok, now on three..."
What the hell do you expect to happen when you hand the bank teller a condom and tell him to fill it !!??!!!
Barbara Streisand's performance of "Send in the Clowns" struck a cord with a few members of the mafia.
After years of declining memberships, the NRA began targeting youths.
"Think Cheerio. The getaway car is already full of clowns. How fast can balloon ponies go?"
"Yeah, that's real scary Herb, I yell 'Show 'em your guns!' and you start flexing."
Terrence May's was the funniest IMO, guess I shouldn't have posted twice in a row.
hey, there was actually a bank robbery in my town this afternoon..
wonderful!
For Christ's sake Barry - what have you got against dachshunds?
No panty-hose for my face? This balloon won't cut it Carl, my nose is just too friggin big.
I'm not angry… just dissapointed.
We wouldnt of had to shoot those kids if you just learned how to make a decent balloon animal.
