Douglas Adams Turns in his grave.
That’s not a caption, are you sure you’ve understood the concept here Adrian?
“Don’t fancy yours much.”
“Me neither.”
That is a caption.
If I said “Douglas Adams is probably going to turn in his grave” that would not be a caption.
But the picture doesn’t depict Douglas Adams turning in his grave.
That’s true. It doesn’t. But it depicts a cause.
Are there no rules pertaining to excessive references to Mr. Pratchett’s dark uncle?
Incidentally, if the picture is in fact a composite of a man who shares his name with the said author who happens to be in a particularly roomy grave (replete with sofa) caught in two stages of the aforementioned turn (one of which was taken immediately after his glasses fell off) then Adrian’s caption is fine.
It’s also fine if the above were not the case, since captions with ambiguous connections to the subject are also to be commended. For example, I would caption this picture:
Weak-chested librarian swapping mittens for bamboo of magnitude.
How delightfully nonsensical.
The Uborka Administration has declared Douglas Adams to be fit for referal and quotery.
Incidentally, I find this photo terrifying. Is it only me who is scared by it?
It’s the mullet that scares me.
And all hail the Uborka Administration who are wise.
…if a little frightened.
Although, I would offer this as evidence that D does resemble a teddy bear. A two-headed teddy bear, granted, but cuddly nonetheless.
Bite my shiny metal ass.
Does that make you a teddy bender?
