It’s fun to reinterpret things, isn’t? Taking something that was used in one way and doing something entirely different with it is one of the great triumphs of the human creative mind! Or at least, that’s what my mom told me after I showed her the Sock Hat I made once…
We want you to do something along the same lines. Jer threw together a comic strip-style page using screenshots from the LRR video “Ways to Stay Awake”, and it’s up to you to fill in the blanks!
You can edit your text into the image directly, or just send us the words themselves, with directions as to which panel they go in. For example, it might look something like this:
PAUL: I love radishes!
LOBSTER: I love radishes too!
PAUL: We’re best friends forever!
Send your entries to operations@loadingreadyrunners.com by midnight on Friday, August 21. If you’d like to be added to the Runners, be sure to include your forum name with your submission.
If you have an idea on what will happen next, send us an email and let us know. We’ll take one or more of the best ideas and film them!
UPDATE: Remember we’re filming these, so we’re looking for simple suggestions or a script, not a short narrative. I mean, they’ve been well written, but that much character development isn’t going to come across. Just saying.
Submissions must be in by midnight on Friday, July 24.
Thanks for all of the submissions to Operation: CanHazLRR!
In the end, it turned into a bit more of a microfiction contest than a caption contest for some people, but those were entertaining, and we appreciate all the effort everyone put into trying to explain just what was going on in our photo.
In the end, we had to pick one person to win the medal, and that person is…
Send in your caption to win a medal!

Rowan submitted the following caption:
And so, the majestic LRR begin their long migratory trek from their seasonal home at Anime Evolution. Little is known about these reclusive creatures, but it is thought that the smaller LRR cling to the larger ones for safety. Seen here, the LRRherd attempts to take shelter in a large industrial vent, one adaptation they have made to human presence in their native habitats. Unfortunately, these LRR will likely be hunted by poachers for their pelts, which fetch a high price in some markets.
Thanks for the entry, Rowan! You’ll be getting your medal soon (hopefully).
We also liked the following two runners-up:
“Yep. Cockroaches. That’ll happen.” – From AKAnotu.
“She’s gone from SUCK to BLOW!” – From Jen519.
We chose Rowan as the winner, however, because both of those lines were quotes from other places (the first from Unskippable, and the second from SpaceBalls), and we wanted the winner to be an original line.
On our way back from Anime Evolution this weekend, something crazy happened to us. The weird thing is that we can’t remember what it was!
When we got home, I checked my camera and found this picture on it, but for the life of us we can’t figure out just what was going on, or where and when it happened.
Can you help refresh our memories? We need you to come up with your best–and most amusing–explanation for what’s going on in this picture. Write your idea into a caption that is at most 100 words long and then either send it to us by email or leave it in a comment on this post, along with your username on the LoadingReadyRun forums.
You have until midnight, Pacific time, on Sunday, June 28, 2009, to get your caption submitted. The most entertaining caption will earn a medal!
