A brief-yet-ongoing journal of all things Carmi. You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll reach for your mouse to click back to Google. But you'll be intrigued. And you'll feel compelled to return following your next bowl of oatmeal. With brown sugar. And milk.

Caption This 22
Please name this picture [See below for details]
Shanghai, China, May 2007 [Click to enlarge]
It's difficult to look at a sign like this and not feel a happy warm thought. The pedestrian mall where this sign was installed was choked with people, but what stuck in my mind was how family-friendly it was, with places to sit, covered/shaded areas for protection from the sub-tropical sun and easy-to-access tram service (driven by crazy people, but that's a story for another day.) I took these kids-on-the-street images not too far away from this sign.
The question is, can you come up with a cool name or caption for this image? See this entry for all the details of how Caption This works. See here for last week's entry. Speaking of which, please drop by JC's site, Castleruins, to share a congrats or two for this winning entry: Uh-oh, she's gonna blow!
Bonus points if you bring a friend or reluctant family member along: I'm not above bribery, after all. As always, you can submit as many comments as you'd like.
Happy captioning, everyone. I'll post the winner next Sunday, along with yet another CT entry.
Your turn: Submit your best caption(s) and may the best blogger win. Oh, and have fun with it.

Hi Carmi...I'm not good at this captioning thing so, I'll pass on it...But I do LOVE the picture!

hmmmm....I got so used to seeing signs like this in Germany...and I DO know what they mean...
ReplyDeleteBut for this caption contest, I would say:

I love the sign...I really am bad at this stuff though. I will have to think and come back!
ReplyDeleteHave a great week Carmi!
This is soooo inappropriate and irreverent, but it's what popped into my mind "child abductor crossing". I apologize profusely.
ReplyDeleteHere's my caption. I'm feeling a little bit snarky. (forgive me please)
ReplyDeleteFamily crossing, points doubled in the area and tripled if you hit both
Michele told me to say hi :)
"Come with me."
ReplyDeleteDunno where that came from, but there it is.
"Together We Can."
ReplyDeleteMichele sent me back to see who wrote captions, Carmi. I vote for Rachel's.
ReplyDeletemy first thought was:
ReplyDelete"Don't walk ahead, I may not follow, Don't walk behind, I may not lead, just walk beside me & be my friend"
