Dear Snuppy,

dieselI couldn’t get a post done for you tonight. I ate dinner and then sat down to do it and then remembered I had a meeting at church. After that the lovely Mrs. Diesel and I had to pick the caption finalists.  And now it’s 10:37.

So…  I suck.

You can blame me and everybody can have a laugh at my expense.  How about I do a post for you on Thursday instead?  ~Diesel

Diesel Ridey Spidey*JUST so you kids know, not only did young Diesel NOT do a post for the Snark (waaaaah) he DID do a series of his own extremely funny captions for his own — extremely funny — contest (hahaha). Let’s take a look, so that we may all feel less clever and/or inclined to participate in his crummy contest the next time around:

“And if I press right here, POW! The arms fly out!”

Sadly, Diesel’s dream of a web development partnership ended with an unexpected crash on Wall Street.

“Let me tell you, Spidey sense is no substitute for fashion sense. These tights are so last year!”

“See, you pull back like this and candy comes out of the neck.”

“Goodness, you’re carrying a lot of tension in your upper back.”

“Dammit, no matter how I adjust your head I can’t get the lighting to match my face.”

“Hey Spidey, am I bugging you? Get it, ‘bug’? Hey Spidey, pull my finger.”

And just like that, he was no longer a Spider-Boy. He had become a Spider-Man.

It was only when Diesel looked down that he realized how badly his roleplaying with Mrs. Diesel had gotten out of hand.

“Hey Spidey, remember when you said that from way up here I looked like a tiny little bug and you just wanted to wrap me up in a web and suck my guts out? Where are we going, by the way?”

“Hey, is that hair gel? Oh, ewwwww.”

“Giddyup, Seabiscuit!”

“It gives us the ring, nasty hobbitssssss!”

“Diesel, is that a pumpkin bomb or are you just happy to see me?”

“Look at me, I’m the scary black costume trying to take your soul! Mwuhahahahahahaha!!!”

“Can you believe nobody noticed this is the same outfit Kevin Costner wore in Robin Hood? I’m also doing the accent.”

“This is the best Macy’s parade EVER!”

“Sorry, Spider-Man. I have to take you in. There are no tags on your mattresses.”

“Dude, I’m telling you, turn around. This plasma TV behind us is INCREDIBLE.”

Spider-man’s spider-sense tingled as he sensed the arrival of his most dangerous foe, the Digital Manipulator.

FOR some strange reason, we’re bettin’ Diesel won’t forget to link his newest post to Humor-Blogs.com. That Diesel…

nothin’ like a few actual priorities to get in the way of doing a favor for your crazy aunt. or not-so-crazy-but-might-be-soon aunt.

oh well, hopefully he won’t mind the fact that i lifted his picture AND his own captions… gotta say they’re pretty damn funny, making for a pretty damn good post, whether he meant to do one, or not! (and YES, Dieslicious, you can absolutely do a post on Thursday!!) :wink: xox

Well recovered, snuppy!
He is funny that dude…I love teh ring/hobitsessss one best.

If his make all of the final ten, I am done playing…or I might actually start to give it a minute before I type my caption and activate those hidden smart braincells I know I must have. Otherwise it´s just not fair …

Lovely Tuesday to each and everyone…I have a day off today! Go on…hate me!

Oh, did I neglect to mention that I had to quick write 20 captions for my contest as well? Yes, so I suck even more than I initially indicated. I actually started writing a post after I did my captions and then Mrs. Diesel said, “Ok, let’s go over the captions and go to bed!” She has this crazy idea of going to bed at a reasonable hour. Something to do with her ‘job.’

Trust me, if I’d have thought of using my captions for the Snark post, I’d have done it FO SHO, as we say around here. Brillaint!

Anyway, if you’d like to vote on the captions that Mrs. Diesel picked, go here. There were 15 that she really liked, but 4 of them were mine and 2 of them were Crummy Joel’s, so that simplified the process of narrowing them down, since I’m only allowing 1 finalist per submitter. Sad, because I really liked the Pez dispenser one. :)

And here we are, like so many tossed off captions. That’s okay. I’m also not bitter but will pretend to be for the rest of the day.

Actually, I am slightly bitter, I think my caption had a fighting chance and yet according to above calculations, I didn’t even make the top 15!

Allright, I’ll have a latte and get over it. Those are some funny captions up above, I might be softening.

Great recovery Snuppy! Hate it when those “priorities” get in the way.

Comment by BoBo

Pick me! Pick me!(Big sad eyes – Am I gettin’ to you guys yet?)

Comment by Theresa

Penguin: i laughed at that one, too. apparently you and i don’t share the same sense of humor with Mrs. Diesel, since it didn’t make it into the finals (it is here that i shall, once again, point out how many truly HILARIOUS captions, did not. including, but certainly not limited to, yours and/or mine!) :wink: xox

Diesel: i’m thinking it’s a VERY good thing you did that post about the beautiful and witty Mrs. Diesel before this little (minor) faux pas. i mean, one look at her, and it’s no mystery as to why you succumb to her desire to “get to bed at a reasonable time”, if you catch my drift, and i’m bettin’ you do! :roll: xox

Lampsha: I KNOW! i’m sorry, but “Oh what a tangled web we weave…” was hilarious! hmmmmm. wonder if it would be worth our while to do a “Diesel Caption Contest Spin-off” in which we choose our OWN favorites and have another vote? (“spin-off”? heh heh. i just realized that’s mildly funny, considering Diesel’s picture subject this week) :?: xox

BoBo: yeah, priorities can be a real bitch. maybe you should warn Diesel that i can be one, too. :wink: xox

Theresa: oh… did you make it into the finals?? i hadn’t noticed, what with my bitterness and all. (kidding, i kid!) :smile: xox

Comment by snuppy

yeesh — nothing says “Oh cómo faltamos Diesel. ¿Dónde está él, de todas formas?” like a handful of comments on a normally busy day. thank goodness Teh Penguin’s here tomorrow — otherwise i fear our comment head count would drop into the negative numbers before the end of the week! :roll:

Comment by snuppy

“Digital Manipulator” hehehe, as a dangerous foe, no less! LOL That one had me giggling!

Comment by Claire

You know the “roleplaying with Mrs. Diesel” one got a spontaneous chuckle – could it even be considered this LOL that you speak of?

Comment by LAMPSHA

Oops premature commenting.

Haha Snuppy – a spinoff. Very good. We’ll fix that little weasel, uh Diesel. Only we’ll come up with like 5 more of our own (each) and add them in.

We are so not bitter!

Comment by LAMPSHA

Nothing like Diesel’s caption contest to remind me how out of touch I am with the music scene. Or G’s Saturday Spin to remind me how out of touch I am with the contemporary music scene …

Ala Moana Ukelele Chorus, anyone …?

Alas. It’s not easy being pseudopodial. ;)

Claire: yeah, he’s a regular laugh riot, that one. okay, so maybe he is a regular laugh riot, but that doesn’t excuse him for not writing a post. that G*d he’s easy pickin’s… :wink: xox

Lampsha: truth be told, my absolute favorite (aside from your great line — the one that was not included in the list, not that we’re bitter) was “This is the BEST Macy’s Parade, ever!” not sure why, but that one cracked me up. we’ll show that Weasel Diesel… and his little dog in a Spiderman costume, too! :grin: xox

O’C: Ala Moana… sigh. lovely drive — fabulous mall. ukulele chorus, you say? shall we sing of hukilaus? how ’bout:

Ima crackin’ uppa fora lacka shakin’ up.
Ima crackin’ uppa fora lacka shakin’ up.
Ima crackin’ up… Ima crackin’ up… crackin’ uppa fora lacka shakin’ up.
Come on — (eha eha). come on… (eha eha) come on… (eha eha) come onawanna leia… eha eha!

that’s all i got. :wink: xox

Nessa: so we’ve noticed. too bad we lovelovelove the way he writes so much, otherwise, we’d kick his ass so far to the curb he’d need a valet to retrieve it. :smile: xox

logo™: hah! okay… since you insist. :roll: xox
