TWQ: Caption Competition

This week, TWQ (The Weekend Question) asks you to put words to the image.

21st April was the Queen's 80th birthday. Can you imagine what she and Prince Charles might be saying to each other.

.



My answer is:

"Charles, dear, do you think it was wise to send Prince Philip up on the Buckingham Palace roof to clean it?"

Now it's over to you...

But before you go...sent by Miss Cellania :

Top 10 Things We Learnt From 'Star Trek':

* There's never enough power to run away and keep your shields up at the same time.
* Women from other worlds are strangely attracted to pot-bellied ham actors.
* Asked how long to fix the warp core, overestimate the time by at least a day.
* Klingons have yet to discover Oil of Olay.
* Betazoid powers are obviously ineffective during poker games.
* All warp engines can exceed design specifications if you really need them to.
* You can find parking in San Francisco.
* Never ask an android or a Vulcan for a neck rub.
* No matter how many starships you lose as a captain, you'll be given another one.
* If Kirk, Spock, and McCoy need a fourth for a landing party, don't volunteer. You'll die!

Are you sure Charles, dear, what you hid up there won't fall down on us?

I can't imagine what Charlie and Liz might be saying, but it's a great question.

I saw you at Michele's.

Cheers!

Yes mum...you're right...Camilla does look good with a pink tutu on a tightrope. How much did you give her to drink?

Is Diane watching us now?

He's muttering, "I can't believe she's held on this long". But since the Queen Mum is 247 years old as well, he'll never be king.

The Queen: My, that King Kong is certainly well-endowed.

The Prince: Well, he is from Africa, you know.

Miss Cellania said...

Look Mummy, heaven. Don't you want to go?

Charles [through gritted teeth]: 'for the 210th time, yes Mummy, William is being groomed for King...'

Queen: oh good, I can hang on a few more years then...'

"Who knew birthday cake was flammable"

LOVED the ten things learned from Star Trek. I used to have a poster that had "All the things we ever needed to know we learned from Trek" but it got lost in a move :(

"Do you see that?" *pause* "Are those yours?"

"Yes"

"How did your panties hanging from the chandelier?"

Ah haha.

I suppose I find myself using more of the evil overlord advice, than that of the Star Trekers. What is it about keeping your friends close and your enemies closer? A few useful points for the next round of starship design..

Make ventilation ducts too small to crawl through.

Don't have the entrance to the main control center behind all of the people in charge.

Put guards outside doors so they can see what is happening in the corridor.

Don't automatically tick the 'self destruct button' option when ordering new spaceships, important elevators and similar.

Don't include big buttons labelled "Danger: Do Not Push".

Next time don't interrogate enemies in the inner sanctum -- a small hotel well outside the borders will work just as well.

Maybe I'll do a space post myself sometime soon.

I love the photo. I can't imagine being in that family - what a strange life they have! I love your caption. Very well done.

Since I only watched one Star Trek episode every (the one with the "Empaths"), I am clueless when it comes to Star Fleet humor!

Hope you're having a great day. Michele sent me!

A little late but mine is:

Are those birds coming toward our position? I don't want what happened to Katie Couric to happen to us.
