Is this an inside joke? This isn't even funny!
(Nephi - Jun 16, 2005 09:01:45 PM)
|
|
Yes, this is funny! The obvious is always funny!!! Plus, this is witty and well thought out. What state are you in? The state of confusion?
(Donna - Jun 16, 2005 09:24:43 PM)

My bad. You are right this is funny!
(Nephi - Jun 16, 2005 09:29:35 PM)

Not an inside joke. Inside joke caps tend to tank, ala Mikey's "Squints" cap. (which is hilarious if you know what it is)

I would like to thank everyone who voted. And all those that work so hard on coming up with other captions. And Lane for all his hard work on the web site. I can't forget my family...I love you guys. And most of all I would like to thank Jordan and Trent for standing in the water.

I think that they might be able to find Waldo, if they were actually had a "Where's Waldo" book, instead of the Kama Sutra
(Casey - Jun 13, 2005 01:02:25 PM)

apperently you've never seen the kids version. What with all that kama sutra stuff going on, finding waldo is quite a challenge.

Jordan whips out the J. Peterman catalog to show Trent where he ordered his bitchin' River Sombrero. "Listen to this, Trent. 'Alone on the Zambezi, scorched by days of relentless sun, my only comforts were the distant, cooing birds and the white canvas shade of my trusty River Sombrero...' "

"Here it is, I found it, 'Green River crossing, July 15, 1848.' we can either load up our stuff in one of these here rafts, attempt to ford the river, take a ferry, caulk the wagon and float it across, or pay an Indian guide 3 sets of clothing to guide us. Man, it's a good thing I brought this Oregon Trail guidebook along."

this is one of my personal favorites. But Nephi-- are you a real person or a part of Lane's imagination so that he can rig the scores?
(Nate - Jun 17, 2005 10:46:12 AM)

Jordan, julie and I were thinking the same thing. I think he's an alter ego so he can rig the scores AND use raunchy humor.

Nahh. It would have been better, however, if you'd said like 12 miles, or 20 miles. That river was COOKIN' at like 7-10 mph w/o even rowing. So 1.2 miles would have taken like...10 min. or so.
