  1. LOL, i didn’t get the crouch joke until just now. I was trying to figure out–what the heck does a cone have to do with Peter. Then I looked at the photo again. I DID bust out laughing!

    Oh, and I was ignorant of the Xavier and cone thing, too. Geesh, I thought I was a sharp soccer guy . . . even just a sharp guy. Must have worked too much as a kid (you know, “all work and”)

  3. Thanks Ives and thanks for the props hpugs & smokeminside.

    I saw the pole and couldn’t resist.

    Some of the other captions are pretty funny. Dave’s made me laugh.

  5. “‘Ronaldo takes a break from practice by sitting on Abel Xavier. NOT FUNYY AND I DONT GET IT”

    It means that Abel Xavier was completely immobile while playing for the Galaxy, or in a commonly used sports term, he played like a cone. That forward went right past him like he was a cone. that defender is like a cone out there, the other team goes right around him.

    And you can’t say it’s not funny if you don’t get it; that’s just illogical.

  6. Not to be a hater, or anything, but none of those even made me bend my lips, let alone smile, or even laugh. At least mine was creative, referencing Apocalypse Now and the depths to which a footballer would have to sink to play for a Vietnamese club …

  7. With his career in the crapper, Ronaldo figured the responsible thing was at least use it to fertilize Mother Earth.

    Okay, that needs work.
