There are so many fantastic captions here it’s been a difficult choice. I’ve very much enjoyed references to ladies’ girly talk, streaking & inkblots to mention just a few amongst the very humorous entries.
But after looking up the characters for both the film & game of The Dark Crystal, neither of which I’m familiar with, I had to chuckle just that little bit more at any repartee between vultures already to start with!
& especially between the wannabe actor Vinnie & friend Baldy as presented by Lady Kestrel thus:
"Hey, Vinnie. Are you still workin' at Carrion-to-Go? I want to place an order."
"Yeh, Baldy, but I'm gonna try out for the remake of The Dark Crystal. I've got an audition lined up a half hour from now, and I've got to get ready."
"Wow! I think you'd be great as a Skeksis, Vin!"
"Nah. I'm tired of always playing a bad guy. I'm trying out for the part of Jen, the Gelfling."
"Uh, do you really think you're right for the part, Vin? I mean, Gelflings look quite different from us.
"Sure, Baldy! There's nothing a wig and makeup can't fix. With my talent, I'll be a shoe-in."
Later, around dinner time:
"So how did it go, Vinnie? Did ya get the part?"
[sigh] "No, Baldy, not even the part of a Skeksis. They decided to do all the characters as CGI."
"Aww, I'm so sorry, Vin." [pause] "Can I get some carrion to go now? I'm starving."
"Sure, Baldy."
"Did you hear that they're doing another Jurassic Park movie, Vin? You'd be great as a pteranodon!"
[sigh] "Thanks, Baldy."
So this weeks’s trophy is for you LadyKestrel! Congratulations!
