Captioned This & Tweetin’ That!

Before we get started with the #BlogBoycottDay #9, there are a few announcements to be had…

- The husband of Amy from Eat. Live. Laugh. and Sometime Shop‘s is turning 40 today.  In his honor, we’re going to boycott age 40 right along with boycotting blogs.  Because we all aim to be eternally 39…

- Cori from Cori’s Big Mouth posted last week that every.single.tweet we send is housed in the Library of Congress.  Makes you rethink a few tweets you’ve sent, right?

And last but not least…the eagerly anticipated winner of the Caption This! leg shaving photo contest is:

man shaving legs

Poppy from Funny or Snot

Other (very) honorable mentions include:

Kimberly‘s: Now I’ll be f*cking aerodynamic in the kitchen when I’m baking the sh*t out of a cake!

Elena: I’m still confused why they asked J Lo to do razor commercials when they could have all of this?

Pop: You think my legs are smooth and fabulous. Wait till you see my shorn scr*tum!

Angie: Manscaping…It’s so 3008.

A sincere “thank you” to all who took part.  We had SO much fun reading through your caption ideas!  That picture is truly like no other.

KPugs was the first commentor to guess correctly!

As promised, the backstory of that photo…

When I was 32 weeks pregnant with Kate, Craig and I loaded up his bike and our car, and drove 10 hours from Memphis, TN, to Austin, TX, for Craig to take part in Lance Armstrong’s Ride for the Roses.  Craig raised a ton of money for the LiveStrong Foundation, which was awesome. His leg shaving was – as many athletes know – part of his race preparation in order to achieve top speed.

The photo was taken by me, in our hotel room, the night before his race.

And, yes, he was using one of my Lady Bic Pastel razors.

Not as interesting a story as you expected, right?

    I linked up twice. Because I can’t follow directions!!!!

    The captions were hysterical. I need to go back and read them all for a full-belly-laugh Friday!

    And thanks for the linky love and for honoring the hubs with the 40 boycott. 39 feels soooo good!

    My hub was into cycling hardcore, when we met. He used to shave his legs, chest, etc..so I have a few of these pictures to share as well…I’m saving them for later, so that I can use them to blackmail him into doing chores.

    Dude, Poppy is so freakin’ funny. And that picture? Priceless. As for blog boycott day, if I actually took part in that – on the one day of the week when I get to read my faves! – well, it would be another week before I got time again. Life is so getting in the way of my blogging.

    Oh, man. I’m out of the loop this week, and all sorts of goodyness went down. Can’t believe I missed this.

    Your Craig is the best sport ever. Did he pick the winning caption?

    Isn’t the shaving also in case of a (God forbid!) crash? Road rash, as they call it.

    Great captions!
