Elmo has always been my favorite Muppet, and not because he speaks about himself in the third person. He has a certain je ne sais quoi, a spirit about him that somehow reaches a little deeper into my soul.
Told you I'm odd that way.
So when I came across an old Happy Meal toy under the pillows of our sofabed (a story for another day, I promise), I couldn't resist taking out the camera and capturing the little plastic man-child for posterity.
Now, over to you...
Your turn: Please caption this image. Be as wackily creative as you wish and feel free to submit multiple entries. As you know, I encourage that sort of thing. I'll take submissions until next Sunday, at which point I'll announce the grand victor.
About last week's image of the red-jacketed lady walking through a run-down back alley: She may be anonymous, but she nevertheless garnered lots of interest. I wonder if, wherever she is right now, her ears are burning. Hmm, maybe I'll have to go back to the scene of the crime and stake it out. Whatever. This week's honorable menschens go to the following really neat folks:
- Katya: "One lap down, another 5 to go."
- Craziequeen: "My Life, in Ruins"
- Bob-kat: "I'm sure I left my car here!"
- Jacie: "I can't see the wood for the trees"
- Michael Manning: "City Council to discuss Failed Urban Renewal Programs"
- Sara: "My own personal art gallery"
- Robin: "Familiarity breeds attempt"
- Sara (no relation to the other Sara): Lost
- Vanessa: "Crumble corner"
- Moi: The opening chorus from Boulevard of Broken Dreams
As the great pirate Red Beard said, "Aaargh tickle me elmo, matey!"

I see you're keeping with a red theme, but that's about all this photo has in common with last week's! How can ANYONE not look at this and SMILE?
ReplyDeleteNo caption yet but as usual, I'm sure something will hit me later...hopefully not a demented muppet ;).
(Loved the caption of mine you included in your menchen :)...thanks!)
Elmo says, "I LOVE you!"
ReplyDelete"Elmo loooooves bloggers". Elmo is my favorite muppet as well. A close second would have to be Beaker. Michele sent me to say hi today :o)
ReplyDeleteI walked in on Uncle Grover and he was THIS BIG!
ReplyDeleteGiggle-giggle-giggle-giggle-giggle-giggle-giggle-giggle-giggle!
All I can think of is that he looks like Jimmy Durante. What did Jimmy Durante say? I'm going to have to do some research. That's all folks. The weekend is over. Michele says goodnight.
ReplyDeleteAll I can think of is that I have seen some women on TV lately whose mouths reselble Elmo's, since they've had plastic surgery. LOL
ReplyDeleteI love Elmo and Grover. Grover was so shy, but cute with it!
"one more hug before you go . . . please!"
ReplyDeletethank goodness you found me, i was so lost in the sofabed
ReplyDeletewhen I saw this I could hear his voice saying, "elmo love you"
ReplyDelete"Look! I only have three fingers."
ReplyDeleteCheers.
'..and I used all the money you lent me to buy this invisible box! Here - you have it...'
ReplyDeleteB13 stole my caption! :(
ReplyDelete*in that squeaky, shiny, happy voice of Elmo's*: "Elmo was inside Carmi's sofabed for THIIIIIS long!"
ReplyDeleteAre you my mother?
ReplyDeleteCome here, ya' big galoot and give me a hug!
ReplyDeleteThe first thing that crossed my mind was..."WELCOME HOME!" Now where did I put my 22 year old daughter's plush Elmo... I'm sure it is still here somewhere!
ReplyDeleteI'm personally a HUGE Grover fan (Pick up a copy of the Monster at the End of this Book).
ReplyDelete"Elmo needs a hug!"
"Elmo soooo hungry he could eat Cookie Monster!"
ReplyDeleteWith arms wide open...:)
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Holly
Elmo can breathe again....Elmo thanks you.
ReplyDeleteWowser...I didn't even notice until now that I won. Thank you...it finally came to me very late in the week, and I knew it fit.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the recognition! Hopefully I will be back later with this week's caption!
"YOU found Elmo! Now it's your turn to hide!"
ReplyDeleteElmo on steroids........
ReplyDelete"If you don't do as I say, Elmo will let EVERYONE know how long it took you to clean your couch. Thank goodness there were a bunch of cracker crumbs in there or Elmo would've starved to death. Now, get me a beer buddy. I've worked up a Snuffleufugus thirst"
"...and the fish was THIS big!"
ReplyDeletethe simple life
ReplyDelete(because being 3 years old and in love with elmo was the simple life)
Crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and hear the lamentation of their women.
ReplyDeleteMy name is Elmoandias, king of kings: Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!
Now llok at me ... I shouldn't have drunk all that carrot juice!
ReplyDeleteElmo trapped under sofa bed long time. Elmo suing your @ss for emotional destress.
ReplyDeleteLet me just take a moment to brag: my niece got an audition with SS last week!
This just popped in my head and I HAD to post it on my way out--
ReplyDelete"Red Headed Pep Child"
:)
Elmo need hug!
ReplyDelete"Hugs make day all better, so give Elmo hug!" (in Elmo's squeeky voice, which you can't stop smiling at).
ReplyDelete"Come to Elmo"
ReplyDeleteSeriously? Elmo? Come on now, Grover is the best!!
ReplyDeleteI'd go with:
ReplyDelete"You got problem with that?"
where'd everyone go? I'm ready to play now I've found my way outta the sofa
ReplyDeleteElmo not sure that breathing lint is good for Elmo's lungs! Hee-hee-hee!
