Create A Caption #39: Round 1

PrintNo words are necessary.
Rules:
I'm sure everyone here is familiar with a "create a caption" competition, but in case someone here doesn't know what this type of contest is ... basically a picture is provided and you, the reader, attempt to come up with a quick sentence describing what's occurring in the photo. The line can be funny, stupid, witty, etc.
I'll be a judge but I like to have another collective voice determining the winner, that way there's a bit of a consensus among the community. What I prefer for everyone here to do is this ... if you like the caption a fellow member has come up with, "recommend" it. That will be 'your vote', in essence. If you don't know how to "recommend" a comment, go to the comment you like, click on 'actions', then click on 'rec'. You can "recommend" multiple captions/comments, if you want.
So for a quick recap.
- Write a quick sentence describing what's occurring in the photo.
- If you like a caption/comment that's been written, "recommend" it.
- After you "recommend" a caption/comment, write something (like +1, for example) to indicate you like the sentence a 3QC member has written.
- The contest will last four days, so whichever caption/comment gets the most recommendations, wins. In case of a tie, I'll determine the winner.
- There will be two rounds in the competition. In the first round (Friday/Saturday), submissions are made and votes are tallied. At the end of the second day, the submissions that garnered four or more "recs/votes" will advance. In the final round (Sunday/Monday), votes are tallied for the eligible submissions.
- Winner will be announced Monday afternoon or evening.
- The contest is subject to change.
Let the contest begin!

Sorry...
…I wouldn’t touch this picture with a 7-foot pole.
I need to proofread better:
That should have read: “I wouldn’t touch this picture with a 7-foot Pole.”

Marcin: Don’t touch it. Its still pretty sensitive.
Life's too short. Be a fan. Orlando Magic, Arizona Cardinals,Tampa Bay Rays and of course "the U"! What a winning combo.

Double Foul !
Marcin points out to the refs that Kyle first tries to tackle him, then throws the ball at his nuts.

Yeah, I may have to "disqualify" a few submissions if they get enough recs. Unfortunately.

It took me a while to get it. Nice one.
As much as I admire Hedo, Michael Jordan of Turkey is either an insult to the GOAT or to Turkish Basketball.
Nice.

Marcin: I need an adult! I need an adult!!!
I probably know Judo! How many of you can make the same boast?

should think about bumping this back up to the top of the news page
I think it got buried under all of the Magic vs Celtics stuff. Not the usual number of replies/recs for a create-a-caption, and this one is a good one ;)
