I thought I'd mix things up a bit with this week's caption contest. Normally I post a photo of myself with some iconic figure, and this week's photo is no exception. The difference is that this time it's an actual, unaltered photo. One of the unexpected bonuses of our trip to Michigan a few weeks ago was a chance to see a cast of Rodin's The Thinker, which was visiting Grand Rapids.
I couldn't resist posing next to the big lug. So here we are:
Submit your captions in the comments by Monday evening. Then I'll see what captions I can come up with, and Mrs. Diesel will pick her favorites. The top ten will be posted in a poll for you to vote on.
Have fun and good luck!

Can you see the family resemblance?
Coversation through telepathy:
You: My head is bigger than yours!
Thinker: Well, my brain is bigger than yours!
You: I was talking about my other head!!!

Diesel: (in deep thought)[obviously] "hmm was that a bean burrito he had for lunch?"
Y'know, this would probably go much smoother if both of us were on a toilet.
Thinker: "What is the meaning of life?"
You: "Did I leave the toilet seat up this morning?"
After seeing a man literally chiseled from stone, Diesel ponders changing his name to the more suitable "Unleaded"...
Why is his butt so much firmer than mine?
I think.
I am.
I think.
I am.
I think.
I am.
How much wood would a wood chuck chuck?
If I put one of my "What happens on Jupiter stays on Jupiter" t-shirts on that statue, and no one notices, will it still be funny?
Thinker: Go ahead Mr. Original, sit on the rock and strike a pose. Like no one's ever done that before.
Diesel: I think...I think...I think I could go for a cheeseburger about now.
Does this rock make my ass look fat?
D: I have to take my clothes off, too?
OK, I stink at this, so I'm just going to let you know that I'm shocked to find that The Thinker is actually in Michigan. And for all these years I thought...
Thinker: Who does he think he is? I am stuck in this position and people think I am contemplating the mysteries of life! Ha! Sucker.
Diesel: How long will I sit here before I get the answer I am looking for? Look at all these ants...oh, I see a pretty rock Climber might like...
Hmmm, how can I get through Dad's cold exterior and make him pay attention to me?
----
(I swear I don't have father issues!)
Diesel shitter...?
I think I just sat in bird poop.
99 Bottles of Beer on the Wall, 99 Bottles of Beer...take one down pass it around 98 Bottles of Beer on the wall...
We think...therefore...we am.
Diesel: I think ... I think ... I think I can, I think I can, I think I can!
The Thinker: Oh my GAWD, that crazy stalker is STILL there, isn't he?! No, I'm not going to look; it'll just encourage him! This is SO. CREEPY! Okay, that's it, Mr. Man, I'm going to get get a restraining order against you first thing on Monday!
Diesel: How did he get that orange thing out of his ass? I want to do it, too. Think, Diesel, think.
The Great Red Monster lures its prey into deep thought with an ingenious trap.
1. The Thinker, huh? Well, I think the artist should have put some pants on that dude.
2. It's not bad I guess...it's no "Dogs Playing Poker", but it's not bad.
Thinker: Foolish flesh-man! No mortal can best me in a game of 'Statues'!
Diesel: F*** you and the plinth you Rodin on!
The thinker: Great! Another copy cat! Next time I'll have Taco Bell for lunch and see if I can't knock him off the tree stump!

Thinker thinking: "If I get up, they'll know I forgot my pants."
Diesel thinking: "If I get up, they'll know I wet my pants."
Diesel to the Thinker: That's a good question, Thinker. What IS there to do in Grand Rapids, Michigan?
"Why doesn't MY back look so muscular?"
Diesel sitter?
Diesel: Quick! Someone get some sculpture tools, I think we can fix it.
Thinker: Paaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarp!
edited - because my wife didn't get it:
Diesel, quit copying me.
Diesel, quit copying me.
Shut up!
Shut up!
You're ugly.
You're ugly.
I'm stupid.
The miniature, clothed Thinker was not as popular as the original, but it did attract a devoted following of leprechauns.
No one was quite sure why either one of these men deserved to be on any sort of a pedestal, but everyone agreed that they certainly looked thoughtful on their respective perches.
One thinks, the other detroys. *NFL announcer voice* You make the call.
"I wish I'd remembered that Immodium!"
(The Thinker's bowels have turned to stone anyhow.)
Thinker: *dripping with sarcasm* How original! After all this time you would think that people would do something different when they see me.
Rabbit,rabbit! Good luck picking out the best caption out of so many:)
Vogue!
- What is that red junk in the tree?
- I don't know, I can't move my neck!
What a great place for a 42" Plasma flat screen TV! This way I get culture and don't have to miss the game. Genius!
Thinker: "I told you Meijer Gardens was kinda boring."
Bob Denver reincarnated as Maynard G Krebbs: "You called?"
"Can you pass me some of those leaves?"
my one:
CopyCat Police.
Keshi.
Thought bubbles materializing...
Diesel: "I am a genius. This pose will look sooo great on my site."
Thinker: "When will these darn bloggers ever quit?"
What a fun blog you have! I'm loving it. Keep at it! ;p
Diesel: "psee...I tolt oo a groan mam coud fit tear hole pssist in tear mouf"
It's pretty, but is it art?
Why is his rock bigger than mine?
i think we could have found a cheaper hotel... if we had just looked a little while longer...
Damn! Rock hard constipation really isn't fun, is it?
No caption offers.
But I did want to say they brought the Rodin exhibit to Knoxville, beleive it or not, a few years ago. They were selling T-shirts at the museum that said, "My man, Rodin."
Ah, the Fred Meijer Gardens! I worked as consultant for Fred's company (Meijer) for a couple years. He's a really cool old dude.
Ooh, too much fun. I'm probably no good at this.
T: The unexamined life is not worth living.
D: The unlived life is not worth examining.
You know, we probably shouldn't be just sitting here while the Red Menace Alien Invader is coming.
Thinker: Knock knock.
Diesel: Who's there?
Thinker: Orange.
Diesel: Orange who?
Thinker: Orange you wondering what the hell that thing is behind you?
Diesel: It's working! I'm having an idea! Nope, just gas.
Diesel: It says "The Thinker, by Rodin." Then in small letters underneath it says, "Please face statue TOWARD plaque."
Diesel: It says "Here I sit all broken hearted, came to ____ but only ______." Ooh, a riddle!
Diesel: That dude is built like a tree stump!
Diesel: Damn, that's a lot of white legos.
Frederick Meijer Gardens is proud to present The Thinker and his sidekick, the Small Confused Man.
Diesel (thinking): I hope I can fix my hairline in Photoshop.
Diesel: Wow, Michelangelo was a genius.
