Caption This: Just For Fun

How many times will we get reports that someone has been arrested in the Boston bombing only to be told soon after that the MSM jumped the gun (no pun intended)! My favorite report so far is when the AP reported that the police were on the way at that moment to arrest someone. Really? Because we all know that criminals and terrorists are definitely not watching the news, right? Since the last few days have been trying, let's switch gears for a few hours. Sometimes you just need to take a breath, mellow out and look at kittens and puppies doing cute things or...


I have to say, I often ponder what I would ask a group of penguins if I ever got the opportunity. If these penguins could really talk, what would you ask them? What would they say? Like...well...take a breath, mellow out and just let go.


As always, please feel free to discuss whatever you want.

Oh, and on a positive note, amazingly, no elected officials in New York have been arrested this week...so far!

This is what happens when you don't have voter ID laws.

Well, it would appear Boston has been eclipsed. A fertilizer plant in West, Texas has blown up and the deaths so far are either 5-6, around 20, or 60-70. What a God-awful week. :-(

LL said...

Weiner is running for Mayor of NY City and by all accounts he's in the lead.

BevfromNYC said...

Andrew - Yes, this is what happend when we don't have strong gun laws OR secure borders! The penguins take over. I learned this from that Dreamworks documentary series "Madagascar 1, 2 & 3". We will ever learn?

It's a cliche but for the first photo, the only thing that popped into my head was:

"Badges? We don't need no stinkin' badges!"

BevfromNYC said...

T-Rav - I woke up to the news on the radio about the West, TX fertilizer plant explosion. The newscaster said that most of the town was blown up. There was already a small fire at the plant and the fire dept was already on the scene. What next? I dare not speculate.

But the Feds arrested an Elvis impersonator in Mississippi for sending the Ricin-laced letters to the Obama and Sen. Wicker of Mississippi. I can't wait to hear the back story on THAT!

BevfromNYC said...

LL - Yes, Mr. Weiner is slowly closing in the favorite Christine Quinn. That says a lot about our candidate pool. Quinn is going to have an uphill battle because she was the one who okay'ed overriding 2 term limits votes by the People giving Bloomberg's third illegal term.

BevfromNYC said...

Scott -

Penguin: Badges? We don't need no stinkin' badges!

Clipboard Guy: No, it says right here that you DO! See, right here in the fine print.

2nd Penguin: Come on, Pete! Show him your badge! You're holdin' up the line!

Cb Guy: Now, do you want to jump off the cliff or not?

Penguins: Yes! Yes! Yes!

T-Rav said...

I don't know Bev, that penguin pic looks more like the result of a drunken dare than anything else.

rlaWTX said...

The footage of the West explosion is pretty intense. The interesting thing about West, Texas is that it is in central Texas.
West comma Texas is not in West Texas.

I lived in the Waco/Temple area 1994-98.

I figured the clipboard guy was from the EPA or some such telling the penguins that they were responsible for the erosion of that chunk of ice they were jumping off of. Maybe I'm just a bit down today...

BevfromNYC said...

T-Rav - Now THAT'S just silly! Duh! Of course the penguins are drunk! That's why they don't fly. Drinking and flying are against the law. That's why they fish instead.

BevfromNYC said...

rlaWTX - What a horrible thing to happen. I figure the news media is using "near Waco" instead saying "West, TX" to avoid confusion. I haven't watch any of the videos. I think I've had enough of things blowing up this week...that's why there are penguins rather than politicians today...

OT: If you receive an e-mail from me with a link, please don't open it. My account got hacked this morning.

AndrewPrice said...

Bev, No, we will never learn. Right now, there are armed penguins sneaking across the border to destroy us all! ;P

AndrewPrice said...

The Texas thing is stunning. What an amazing amount of damage. I wish the best for the victims.

BevfromNYC said...

Okay, this may be a silly question, but how does one determine if one's email has been hacked?

tryanmax said...

I would ask the penguins, "Who's your tailor?"








That is all.

AndrewPrice said...

Bev, Basically, I started getting emails from people I know asking if I had sent them an e-mail with just a link in it. Then I checked my sent mail and saw that I had sent out e-mails to most people on my contact list with the same link.

So I changed my password and ran a virus scan.

BevfromNYC said...

Andrew - Of course, that makes sense. Thanks.

BevfromNYC said...

Tryanmax - Who is your tailor?

Religious Penguin: God is my tailor

Agnostic Penguin: I don't know, but it looks great, doesn't it?

Atheist Penguin: {{blank stare}}
[In an atheist's world, penguins can't talk...] :-)

T-Rav said...

rla, I'll admit I was a tad concerned about you even though I was pretty sure the "WTX" in your moniker wasn't a reference to the town. That seems like a nice area with some good people; I hate to see that sort of thing happen.

rlaWTX said...

Thank you, T-Rav.
My old boss (lives in VA, from Mass) emailed me to be sure I wasn't near there - but he knows where I live - just not sure of the scale of the state... made me smile as I replied with reassurance.

Bev, you are on a roll for the "penguin conversations"! :)

AndrewPrice said...

Bev, "In an atheist's world, penguins can't talk" LOL! Nice!

BevfromNYC said...

Bev, you are on a roll for the "penguin conversations"! :)

rlaWTX: I think it's because I loved to watch all of those Disney nature movies when I was a kid...

Also, it was hard to explain to people that West, Texas and West Texas are not the same. But when I say "near Waco", it makes sense. Also near Crawford. I am glad your and yours are safe, but I know that your live in Midland/Odessa, right?

T-Rav said...

In a Hindu world, penguins get reincarnated as tailors, and vice versa.

BevfromNYC said...

In a Buddhist world, the penguin accepts the clothing he is given with joy.

AndrewPrice said...

In a Muslim penguin world... well, let's just that God wouldn't make penguins stupid enough to believe that crap.

Can't stop myself on this caption, Bev.

"So, uh, I know I don't have to ask, but who's your pick to win the Stanley Cup this year?"

-Rustbelt

BevfromNYC said...

Andrew wins THAT round! LOL!

AndrewPrice said...

Bev, What do I win? Probably a savage beating and a 3/4 reduction in my virgin quota, right?

AndrewPrice said...

Rustbelt, I hear the Penguins have put together a heck of a team.

K said...

Penguin behind the clip board: "I'll have the sardine skewer, krill appetizer and a glass of ice water."

Weiner as Mayor of NY? Don't take the polls too seriously, if anyone named "wiener" were on the poll I'd pick it just for the funny.

BevfromNYC said...

K - I am hoping Weiner at least runs in the primary ! It will be a golden time for the headline writers!
