Alfred Hitchcock died on April 29, 1980 -- my tenth birthday. Coincidence? Yes.
In honor of the famed director and, um, myself, I present a revised version of the famous biplane scene from North By Northwest. If you haven't seen it, then you may think that Cary Grant and I are running from a biplane that is swooping down on us in an empty field for no apparent reason. Come to think of it, that is what is happening. Cary Grant's character's name is Roger Thornhill, by the way.
Submit your caption in the comments. You have until Monday night. I'll pick my favorites and post a poll on Tuesday for you to vote on the best one. The winner, as usual, will take home an autographed digital copy of the picture and the adoration of dozens.
Good luck!

D: "Hurry up, Rog! I don't care if you're inconspicuously missing your right arm, if we don't run faster, we're scuh-rewed! Didn't you see English Patient?!"
Why the hell hasn't Snoopy shot down that damned Red Baron yet?!?
Where's MacGyver when you need him?!
(Hey, MacGyver won last time, it was worth a try)
Diesel thinks to self, 'I don't have to outrun the plane, I just have to outrun Thornhill. Oh, wait...damn.'
Diesel: Rog, you really need to work out more. You're such a wuss!
Diesel thinks: If only I'd had a Red Bull this morning, then I'd have wings.
- "That plane is on our vector, Victor!"
- "It's Roger!"
- "Roger, Roger."
Damn it Roger, I told you to upgrade from the "snag the passengers with a grappling hook from a biplane" fare!
Diesel: Roger, I told you I wanted to catch a plane, not that I wanted a plane to catch me!
I just KNEW I shouldn't have worn that shirt with the target on the back today.
Pilot: (to co-pilot) "Look at those two fruits down there, running 'n shit."
Co-pilot: "What a pack of tards. Hey, where'd my discount hooker go?"
p.s. I typed PILATE twice before realizing my errors. Biblical, huh?
"What do you mean you can't run any faster because your hand's deformed? It's that damned coat and tie that's slowing your ass down! I told you to drop 'em before this shit started!"
Hurry, Roger! The Sunglass Hut is having a sale, and it's THIS WAY!
(thought bubble)
"If I can just accidently whack ole Rog' in the nuts once, he's gonna be biplane bait and I'm home free."
Rog: I can't believe you peed in the pilot's goggles.
Diesel: Why do you think he hasn't shot us yet?
"Tag, you're it!" Diesel yelled as he ran past Roger, "Now you can eat my dust!"
Rog: You had to sleep with his wife!
Diesel: Have you seen my shirt? It's not like I get laid that often!
Rog: I don't think he found your Ray Charles impression too funny!
Diesel: How the hell am I suppose to know that he was his cousin???
Rogto diesel:
"Tell me something you antisocial miscreant.."gasp"..why am I worried about getting myself slightly killed just because you decided "gasp" to piss off some no-life-having-blog-reading-#1-stalker-fan? "wheez" and what the hell is a blog again?"
Another one of diesel's wet dreams goes to crap just when it was starting to get good
Rogie: I told you this era is homophobic!
"Maybe we should have tried south by southwest."
Goddammit, if I hear that freakin' Diesel fitter joke one more time, I swear I'm gonna kill you, myself!
HAHAHA! and now i'm LAUGHING my ass off at G's caption. *claps* well done, NBFF! *claps again*
Slow down Diesel! If that bear in the air clocks us running faster than the speed limit we'll get pulled over for sure!
"Just give back the ID and credit cards! I have a plane to catch!"
Thornhill ran for his life, not knowing that Diesel had hired the pilot to drop 45 water balloons on him. What a birthday present this would be...
As Diesel and Roger ran North, then Northwest,
Their stamina certainly was put to the test.
As they picked up speed,
They both felt a need,
Each to prove himself to be best.
(Sorry, I've been over at Mad Kane's limerick contest)
Diesel: Roger, run, run as fast as you can.
You can't catch me, I'm the gingerbread man.
(Oops, that was for a nursery rhyme contest)
Roger: Come on Diesel, come on Diesel. Move your bloomin' ass!
Diesel thinks: I always thought I'd be chased by women, not men (nor planes for that matter).
Diesel thinks: Hey, wait a minute, why am I running? I've already seen this flick, they're after the Thornhill, not me.
Diesel: Whoa! how did I get here? I've gotta lay off those mushrooms.
Joel Bezaire and Furiousball are cracking me up with theirs.
---------
The pilot had despaired of ever finding a likely landing strip. Then he spotted the top of Diesel's head.
"Sheesh", thought Diesel. Here we are, running for our lives and Roger is checking out my ass, making rude sexual gestures with his left arm!"
Diesel: I knew Axe Body Spray was good, but this is a little too good.
Diesel: I know how fast I'm going, but I have no idea where I am.
Cary Grant: Hey, didn't you read the script? Weren't you supposed to get on a bus? (Damn these amateur actors, always screwing up).
"Diesel, I said RUN like the wind, not pass it!"
"Run faster, Diesel, or they're going to be singing, "Holy, Holy, Holy," at our funerals!
For Pete's sake these airport security checks have gotten out of hand!
Diesel’s smile disappears in the next frame.
After a well-placed nudge from Roger, he’s headed for a face-plant.
(Oh, groan...do you get brownie points for trying??)
"Dammit Deisel, it's not funny-you told me the pilot was bi not the plane!"
Cary Grant and Diesel star in: "Attack of the Tiny Airplane!" Coming soon.
Dammit, I'm underdressed again!
Rog: "What the hell did you say to those WWI re-enacters to piss them off so much?"
Diesel: "Um, I might have told them that the Kaiser was gay."
Rog: "Diesel?"
Diesel: "Yes, Rog?"
Rog: "I hate you."
"Trust me on this, Thornhill -- you do NOT want a cropduster prop up your ass."
(G's was hilarious.)
"I'm trying, Diesel, but I can't stop running in circles!"
"Shut up Roger, or I'll nail your other foot to the ground."
OR:
"The fact that they looked stupid running in slow motion was not lost on the film's director."
for fans of Monty Python, i submit:
"Run away! Run away!"
OR
"I said "get horses". You said you did. I know it *sounds* like galloping, Diesel, but halved coconuts are NOT the same thing!"
I'm sorry I never submit a caption, but once I read all these funny submissions and laugh -I'm done. I'm not good at this sort of thing. G's caption was one of the best, I'll be voting for her.
"last one there's a cissy"
p.s. (not a caption) I adore Cary Grant
p.p.s (sorry, not a caption again) my ab fab fav film is An Affair to Remember
sorry, me again
one for the Brits
"BAA are up to their tricks again."
"White Collar Prison Break" -- coming this fall, on FOX.
Not seen this one. I am young!
Furiousball, G and Neva´s one-nailed foot one had me laughing real hard.
They are good!
"Run Forrest, RUN!!!"
Roger: "diesel, are those Bugle Boy Jeans you're wearing?"
Hey Boob Lady, are you looking down at my boobs?
:0)
Dude, next time you wanna dine and dash at the nudie bar down by the airport, let's not do it on chimichanga night. I think I'm having a freakin' heart attack.
Ice cream man!
Ice cream man!!
ICE CREAM MAN!!!...
Oops, sh*t. He's coming back. Run for it!
Diesel thinks to himself, “Crap…that biplane is going to kill us both, leave our bodies is this stupid field and no one is going to believe that ‘Mr.Smooth’ over there wasn’t my boyfriend!”
OR
“Ewww…I think I just stepped in a cowpie.”
DIESEL: I thought the script called for attacking Seagulls!? Not Attacking Biplanes! I can HANDLE Seagulls!
ROG: Wrong Movie Diesel
PS: Diesel: You' the same age as me, but you look so much older LOL! (Oh Burn!)
zoning out again: Of course I am!! :)
Holy crap, I get in from a day of driving the tractor around my yard and I find 57 comments waiting for me. I can see the competition is going to be tough this week....
"Diesel, why are you running so fast?"
"Because I'm a week late for my "surprise" 37th Birthday party. Oy, is my wife gonna be pissed!"
"D'oh!"
seriously... D'OH! (it only took all day for that one to sink in...) ; ) XOX
Okay, you're b-day is exactly a 1 day and 1 year after mine--wow...but I look like I am exactly 1 day and 10 years younger than you...okay, I don't
Now to for the caption contest-thingy
Rog: "Next time you run in the suit and tie and I get to look like the cool 2007 guy."
Diesel: "Okay, now Simon Says skip!"
Tammie Jean's offering is my favorite. Water balloons, so jaunty.
There are so many good ones to choose from!
Happy belated, by the way.
"I warned you not to call Hitchcock fat!"
What, no laptop on your tractor?
Aw hell, I've been so busy with school I didn't realize it was your birthday!
(You should post more than once a week, though).
1) Diesel: Last one there is a rotten egg!
2) Rog (to Diesel): Run, Forrest, run!
PS. LOL! I'm cracking up at everyone's captions! G and Andy, you guys are too funny! *sigh*
Awwww crap. I guess it pays to read EVERYONE's captions first. I inadvertently nabbed other people's captions. Grrrr! LOL!
Okay, how about...
1) Diesel: Hey, Rog! Do you think I have time for a pee break???
2) Diesel: There's no place like home...There's no place like home... (as he taps his ruby slippers together)
Errr..these suck. I'll have to come back later and when I think of something worthy to submit. LOL!
dammit diesel you've gotten us into the wrong film...that's buddy hackett flying that plane for 'it's a mad, mad, mad, mad world!'
Alternately I submit:
"Maybe we should have tried south by southeast".
"Diesel, why did I believe when you said there was no penalty for filing your tax return late?"
good luck picking one Diesel, it seems the competition for that autographed digital picture is fierce this week!
diesel~
Thanks for the permalink tip! I need all the help I can get. But you know that so it's all good!
Yes! Nothing to Lose is my ALL TIME favorite comedy! From start to finish I belly laugh. For awhile there it was rare that I’d get to belly laugh until recently when I started reading your stuff!
Thanks! Remember the girl behind the desk in N.2.L who had the crush on Tim Robbins? That's the type of crush I have on you! I'm star struck whenever you come over to my place!
Oh God, I'm bloggie~ (a groupie for a blogstar)!
THERE IS NO HELP FOR ME! :0D
Cary: Diesel, if that is your name, get out of my way and stop trying to ruin my movie.
If I stay in front of him long enough I know he'll look at my ass. Come on Cary, look at it, touch it......
Hey Cary. What's the capital of Thailand? Bangcock!!!
Diesel: Beans, beans, the magical fruit.
Cary: After we get away from this biplane I'm gonna cram a cork up your ass!
"What do you think this is? A dress rehearsal?"
Holy snap! Run! Wait, Carey Grant, why are we running from a stupid biplane? And why do you gotta wear a pimp-daddy suit and look all cool, and I have this dorky, blue, Andy Sipowicz shirt?
Diesel: I'd damn well better get an Oscar for this performance!
Sheesh, who would've thought those guys could be so pissed off over those $10 we owe 'em.
Diesel: Why didn't I accept those bionic implants when I had the chance!
Diesel: I really wish I hadn't decided to go commando this morning.
Diesel: Why don't they teach us how to handle these situations in school? I mean, we have fire drills and earthquake drills, why not a being-chased-by-a-plane drill?
Diesel: Run, run as fast as you can. You can't catch me I'm the Six Million Dollar Man!
Diesel: I just knew that when Hitchcock died on my birthday, there were going to be some weird consequences.
(Happy belated birthday!)
Roger: "What was going thru your head when you flipped that plane off diesel? Damn it I can't take you anywhere!"
I told you not to put that 'BOMB on BOARD' sticker on my back going through airline security. Now you've got those damn homeland security people after us!
i can't beat the sunglasses hut comment.
You people are twisted! And it's WONDERFUL!
I have no witty caption--only uproarious laughter.
its the button with the circle you idiot!!! Haven't you ever played playstation? geessss????
diesel-- Da plane! Da plane!

Diesel: Wow, these new virtual reality videogames are amazing! Now, how do I turn the damn thing off?
I'm faster than you are. Nah, nah, nah, nah, nah.
diesel,
CONGRATS on the Rising Blogger Award! :0D
D: What IS that song playing?
R: Baywatch theme, dude. That's some Grade A 'Hoff.
Damn it, Roger! You promised me nobody would see us way out here.
diesel: "Are those paparazzi chasing me or you?"
Roger: "You aren't that popular yet my friend! Take it easy on that Brain Viagra!"
This is the LAST TIME I let you talk me into being your teammate on any damned reality show! "Amazing Race" my ass!
(Diesel thinking to himself…I wonder if Roger thinks that smell is from the plane?)
(Roger thinking to himself…Damn Diesel what did you eat for breakfast?)

Rog: I can't believe you peed in the pilot's goggles.
Diesel: Why do you think he hasn't shot us yet?
That one has my vote.
Diesel: Hey Rog, race you to the bus stop. Last one's a rotten egg! Oops. I mean, last one's a dead man!
Because Diesel was running just ahead of Roger at the time, he had no idea that Roger was about to morph into a blur of speed, streak past him in a flash of elegantly-suited glory, and leave him to be tragically fumigated by the legendary Desert Crop-Duster.
I can't believe how much this big kite looks like an old-timey biplane. You have really outdone yourself Cary.
Roger: Damnit, your Depends are leaking again.

Diesel: No, Roger, I don't think it IS "just an itty bitty wittle model."

Roger: look out for that giant turd!
Diesel: Aw crap!

Diesel: I think we're about to get dusted!

Roger: It's plane to see he doesn't like us.
Diesel: you're killin' me, Rog.

Roger: swing your arms like this!
Diesel: No way! My way's faster!

Roger: Holy shit! There are snakes on that Motherfucking plane!!
WOO HOO!!!!!!!!!!

I waited all day long for this!
Now what.....
I am such a dork!
