Simpson, Schmimpson..let's have a caption contest!
« on: October 26, 2007, 10:02:16 PM »


Thanks to my evil doppelganger from across the sea, Tony Muldoon, it's photo caption time again!  

The best answers will try in vain to tie it to gca.  (small gca, as in golf course architecture).  

Let's see what this group can do.

Fully aware that most early golf courses were built near train rails, the early architectural groupies knelt along the tracks in rapt excitement, eschewing obvious potential danger, poised panther-like-ready to leap forward, literally springing themselves face-forward onto the next open car in hopes of a glimpse of their ODG heros in action, despite being under the wary, careful watch of the rugged, burly Railroad security man Lance and his fierce watchdog Pelvis.

Joe,

Either play the game or shutup.  ;)

Plus, I like my second entry MUCH better.

Actually, They had been reading a short book of Mike Cirba writings, and were going to throw themselves in front of the next train.....

Joe,

Give me a break...there are more edits as this is obviously a masterwork in progress.

Think Pinehurst #2...

I apologize, as I am (probably)contributing to the (inevitable)downfall of your thread, but....

The dog is willing to wait for the edits, the other three are jumpers....

"In Ringo's later years, he had to content himself with a low-paying job on "Thomas The Tank Engine", supplemented by occassional trysts with a bird or two on leave from the local sanitarium whilst faint memories of Sgt.

Ok..

For the next step, we get on all fours and crawl around looking for Maxwellian Poofs.   First one to find one gets to blow the Captain's whistle!
