Thread: Another Need A Caption, Reply, Question Take #5

Amazing restraint shown by forum members here. There was clearly the opportunity for a risque comment or two and there were at least three subtle allusions but nothing that would arouse the censor.

I was particularly taken by mic-d's "I smell leopard. I hate leopard." as that reflected a caption I might have posted myself. It would have run something like:

"When Hercules remembers he is part lion, his lady friend may want to consider changing her spots."

Incidentally, Hercules is real and apparantly is the largest living felid. He is a 410Kg Liger, the result of a cross between a male lion and female tiger. This particular mating produces exceptional hybrid vigour, but it seems not neccessarily the normally associated aggression. To put his size into perspective a male lion would weigh around 250Kg and a tiger perhaps 300Kg.

I think in the end it was the girl's strange, to my mind, choice of clothing that alerted me to some possibilities here.

However in the end I thought Pugwash's "Anastasia, enraged by the ban on animal skin clothing, decides to grow her own." was priceless and sufficiently quirky to take out the top prize.

Your turn Pugwash.

I was going to say something about Ayla with her totem, but I worried it would alert readers to my girlish taste in books. Oh, did I say that out loud?

Now that rings a bell, I had forgotten about. I read a few of those books, but became all cave-beared out after the third one or was it the fourth. Canadian female author I think; Auel, or similar.

I seem to recall a large cat (prehistoric) which the heroine rode. I am going to have to be a little careful how I proceed from here, but from memory it was at least as big as Hercules and clearly we have a few girlie tastes in common. There I said it. However, I'm over it now though.

First book was ok, then downhill from there. By the third it was distinctly Mills and Boon-ish
I forgot she rode a cave lion. I think she rode a horse too

Thanks Paul. And now for something completely different.
I have no idea whether this pic is real or not. Somehow I suspect it is.

Where did the ball boys go?

Paul

You've got to have plenty of balls for that.

For some sports you need a ball........for others ........you need both

Most other countries were less than happy with the USA's choice of venue for the Davis Cup.

Players were particularly warned against tantrums involving smashing their racquets on the ground when their shots went wide.

Sponsors had originally hope to host a game of "Real Tennis," but that was quickly quoshed when they realised the court would exceed the take-off weight and it was not until the advent of the Boeing 747 in the late sixties that this could become a reality. However by that time, the public killjoy, WPHS, had put a stop to all sporting activities on the wings of aircraft unless they wore high vis clothing.

It's a little known fact that the term "ace" actually came from the days of wing tennis, when hardly anyone could return the serve.

Very poor wing tennis etiquette. Monoplane for singles, biplane for doubles.
