caption time!

ran across this gem, not quite sure what to do with it, other than point out the obvious: guy is being dangerous by not wearing a helmet.

before i spend hours pondering how they taught the lion to ride in that contraption, i figured i'd just toss this up here.

can anybody think up a good caption for this one?

Boy I sure miss the old days... Back in Rome when I worked a Coliseum, there was always a free meal involved.

What ever happened to steam? I loved steam! And wooden highways! And taking your pet cat for a Sunday drive! What ever happened to the Old Days?

I used to watch this guy at the fair every year. It was called the "ride of death" When he ran the bike on rollers it was the worlds first dyno machine.

Indy Racing League officials have introduced changes to the series' regulations in an attempt to woo NASCAR fans back to open-wheeler races.

Prior to lions being ruled illegal in Velodrome Sidecar racing, Ralf Horn enjoyed three seasons of undefeated racing. Apparently, AVA officials didn't realize that Ralf's car wasn't faster than the other racers, but more likely the other racers didn't feel comfortable passing him. Mr. Horn spent several years afterward quietly making ends meet as a sideshow act for Barnum & Bailey until he was ultimately eaten in 1939. Interestingly, his grandson Roy Horn suffered a similar fate in 2003 while performing during his hugely successful Siegfried & Roy show in Las Vegas. Since then the family has sold all their lions and have been operating an appliance repair business in Oceanside, CA.

After much debate, the organizers decided to put up a fence for spectator safety.

The jury is still out on the new race format for the Daytona 200.

No, you idiot, I said, 'Stick close to the racing line!'

Stop laughing. Yesterday, I had to carry a giraffe in the car!

I have half a mind to complain to the Auto Union.

If you want to win, you must learn to select the correct lion.

The average male Lion weighs in at 350-400lbs, that’s a hell of a lot of “pussy” in anyone's language.

In this case pussy is not good for racing.

safari park 'Mr Fixit' Dick Stibble tried desperately to attract lady Antonia's attention, little realising that the apes had stolen her rear-view mirror. Meanwhile, Clarence was focused; "The border......THE BORDER!"

or

(voice of motorcycle patrolman Norvil Vandersprocket): "Yeah right. Now get Mister I-Wanna-Be-Bob-Newhart off the mike and send someone out here with a pair of really BIG gloves!"
