Caption Contest: Spider-Man!

I almost scrapped this pic, because I'm afraid of what y'all are going to do with it. But laziness won out over caution and respectability, so here we are. Just keep in mind that originality is a factor, so if you notice a lot of people submitting captions with the same [ahem] theme, you might want to go the other way, so to speak. And again, let's try to keep this in the PG-13 range; my mom reads this blog.

A couple other changes this week, in addition to the oddly suggestive photo. First, some of you who submit multiple captions have accused me of not selecting your best caption for the finalists. So this week I'm going to have Mrs. Diesel do the selecting. And she's going to do it blind: I'll read her the captions and she will select her favorites. If there are duplicates from the same submitter, I'll make her pick one of them.

Second, others have accused me of doing these caption contests because I'm too lazy to come up with my own content. So how's this for lazy: After the submission deadline, I'm going to submit at least 10 captions for the photo myself, and throw them into the mix. Mrs. Diesel won't know which ones are mine, so I'll be competing along with y'all. Except, of course, that I'm at a disadvantage because I don't get to submit my captions until all the obvious ones are taken. The odds are heavily against me winning, but if I do win then you all have to give me your souls. Fair's fair.

Ok, so here's the photo. You know the drill. Submit your caption in the comments by this Tuesday at 9pm PDT. Mrs. Diesel will pick her favorites and I'll post a poll on Wednesday. The winner, as usual, gets a signed digital copy of the photo. Unless it's me, in which case I get that plus your souls.

"And if I press right here, POW! The arms fly out!"

Sadly, Diesel's dream of a web development partnership ended with an unexpected crash on Wall Street.

"Let me tell you, Spidey sense is no substitute for fashion sense. These tights are so last year!"

"See, you pull back like this and candy comes out of the neck."

"Goodness, you're carrying a lot of tension in your upper back."

"Dammit, no matter how I adjust your head I can't get the lighting to match my face."

"Hey Spidey, am I bugging you? Get it, 'bug'? Hey Spidey, pull my finger."

And just like that, he was no longer a Spider-Boy. He had become a Spider-Man.

It was only when Diesel looked down that he realized how badly his roleplaying with Mrs. Diesel had gotten out of hand.

"Hey Spidey, remember when you said that from way up here I looked like a tiny little bug and you just wanted to wrap me up in a web and suck my guts out? Where are we going, by the way?"

"Hey, is that hair gel? Oh, ewwwww."

"Giddyup, Seabiscuit!"

"It gives us the ring, nasty hobbitssssss!"

"Diesel, is that a pumpkin bomb or are you just happy to see me?"

"Look at me, I'm the scary black costume trying to take your soul!
