SARS Pic Caption Contest.
OK, lots of fun ideas came in to caption this<\/a> bizarre image. Thanks to everyone who wrote in! I promised to pick the ones that made me laugh out loud, or at least snicker, so here they are.<\/p>\n

“There were others of the Istari who traveled into the far east of Middle Earth, and do not come into this tale. Until now” – SB
“Masks prove ineffective in preventing the spread of Two Towers Three Quarter Angle Syndrome, a neurological disorder which was first observed to effect the cast of the movie and now seems to be spreading to moviegoers.” – Ruth<\/p>\n

“Jeez, when they said Viggo Mortensen didn’t shower for months so he could get “into the role” of Aragorn, I didn’t know it would come to this…” Covert Rogue
“Gosh, Aragorn NEED to take a bath.” – RennWench
On similar lines, a few more:
“Not even a mask could help poor Misako ignore that Rangery not-so-fresh feeling when Aragorn was near.” – Merrylyn
“One does not simply walk into Beijing … The very air you breathe is deadly.” – Makilwen
“They should have never used scratch-and-sniff for the Gollum scenes!” – Jeff Sontag
“That Gollum…he even makes the movie poster smell!” – Rosa Burrows
“Has Aragorn bathed yet???!!!” – Chantelle
*Gasp* “Holy crap! Aragorn! For the love of Gondor, take a bath!!!” – Merrylyn
“Those Nazgul really should do something about their Black Breath!” – Gwaihir’s Feather
“TTT was the first movie to be shown in Smell-O-Vision. Unfortunately the Dead Marshes scene proved too much for this unfortunate movie-goer” – Kath<\/p>\n

“I’ll be fine by December, and no, you can’t have my ticket!” – Carl
“I told my boss I was sick today. Again.” – Peggy
“Boromir’s paranoid replacement. Fear not going slowly, Only standing still.” Rosebud. [Actually I’m not sure if the last bit was meant for part of the caption, but it has a certain weird logic.]
“I ask you, how are we supposed to identify and guard ourselves against the SARSuman threat if he isn’t even pictured in the public service posters?” – Anne
“Dude! All I need now is some heavy eye-liner and I’ll be a servant of the Dark Lord!” – Kristina
“Here we see the first costume concept for the Easterlings” – Brian
“I don’t care if I work for ILM. I have to see Gollum again!” – Mechelle
“Tell me honestly… do I look like one of those guys from Mordor? Yes, I know that the mask is the wrong color!” – Emily
All these are from Robert:
“A bad combination: a germ-fearing geek.”
“THIS is representative of female fantasy lovers?”
“Huh? Me looking for Jackie Chan flick. Who Frodo?”<\/p>\n
