Jason, Charlotte, and I had a lovely time visiting our friends Naina and Josh in Wimbledon last weekend (yes, that Wimbledon). We got to see their new digs and then went for lunch and a stroll up to the Wimbledon Common to tour some lovely gardens nearby. Down a secluded path we came upon a strange font in the middle of a garden. So of course we had to do this:
Regardless, I've been trying to come up with a good caption (New Yorker style) for the bizarro-font-photo but I'm drawing a blank. Any ideas?
Given that there are over 100 of you that visit this site every day, I'm convinced we can come up with at least one good caption. Just for fun (and because I love you all so much), if at least 10 of you respond with caption ideas by the end of the week, I will reward the writer of my favourite caption (yes I just wrote favorite with a "u") with a package of assorted English candy bars (they are far superior to the US bars. Trust me). But there must be at least ten! Put your thinking caps on and give me what you've got! Do it for the chocolate!

ReplyDeleteHaha! I like this one! You can only get the chocolate prize if I know who you are though!

ReplyDeleteOoh, I like Molly's!
ReplyDeleteAs for the £25 worth of chocolate, I'm not planning to eat all that myself, but I can't show up back in DC empty-handed! Plus I had to fill up all that empty space in my suitcase for bringing back comfy shoes, baby clothes, and Trader Joe's pancake mix...
That Molly has always been so smart and funny!
ReplyDeleteyou,me and baby makes three....a well of love she is...
ReplyDeleteYou all make me laugh! Keep the submissions coming and I'll announce the winner at the end of today. Charlotte and I are looking forward to going shopping for some chocolate later today!
ReplyDeletePS: Make sure you sign your name to your post so I know who you are!
