LENTERTAINMENT PHOTO NINE--this time it's personal

Excellent work making the votes happen.  I am enjoying the vote comments and commentary almost as much as the captions.  I can tell you already that Judy won the 20 points for the voting portion of the competition for photo 8 or as I like to call it "Merry Christmas, Bedford Falls".  There were some shifts in the power rankings, with Rob leapfrogging into second place.  Extra credit makes all the difference in this competition, so stay at the top of your game.  Extra effort does not go unnoticed and making me laugh always scores well.  I'm just warning you all, but Kiki's awesome caption will garner some BIG extra credit, because she hit it out of the Lentertainment park.

I will finish the scoring later tonight, but I really want to get LENTERTAINMENT NUMBER NINE posted as soon as I can. No fish in this photo (thank God) or people in a bag, but this is another odd, odd photo, that makes me laugh every time I look at it.  (Do you think this could be an engagement photo? Is this guy the husband, the dad or a kidnapper? There is a bit of a Patty Hearst/Tanya vibe going on here.) Obviously I have some issues as I keep picking pictures that have weapons and/or underlying violence in them. (I don't even know what that is that she is holding--I'm counting on John to do a bit of research and fill me in), but for some reason, all the weirdo photos that make me laugh include some incongruent armament. I am quite excited to see what you all come up with here, because i think I might have gone to high school with this fashionable duo and they could use a few good captions.  Get the captions rolling. I need some LENTERTAINMENT!


Captioning stops at 7pm tomorrow--Friday, April 4th.  Let's make these the best captions EVER...

  102. Fun Fact for Laurie: The gun is a Avtomat Kalahnikova model 47 (AK-47). The Bayonet is mounted correctly (upside down). Interestingly, you do not put a scope on this weapon. It would do you no good as the weapon is manufactured with quite a bit of slop so that it still functions in the mud. It is designed to spray ammunition quickly and cover a large area. The banana clip (magazine) is capable of holding 30-50 rounds depending on the configuration.
