FUNNY PHOTO CAPTION CONTEST: WIN A VERTEBRAE 33 T-SHIRT

Thursday, April 1st, 2010 at 5:30pm by

nightwish cutterYou guys sure wanted that copy of God of War III prize for last week’s funny photo caption contest badly. But only Brock Stearns wins. This gem is a bit different than the ones we usually choose:

  • “Although it has the appearance of an evergreen tree, the Eastern Red Cedar has a limited lifespan and a variety of fall colors. Also, a fat goth is cutting himself.”

This week we’re giving away two t-shirts designed by Vertebrae 33 mastermind Rodney Githens, who also designed our super-sweet Skulls & Star of David MetalSucks t-shirt. We’ll give away one shirt each of the “Reaper” and “Crossbones” designs, pictured 2nd and 3rd on this page, in the size of your choice. To win just come up with a funny caption to the below photo, and be sure to comment with or include a real email address.

    Now, this is the story all about how
    My cross got flipped-turned upside down
    And I’d like to take an eon
    Just sit right there
    I’ll tell you how I became the underLord of a town called Oslo

    In west Norway born and raised
    At the Church was where I spent most of my days
    Chillin’ out burnin’ churchin” all cool
    And all shootin some b-ball outside of school
    When a couple of demons
    Who were up to no good
    Startin making cults in my neighborhood
    I got in one little cult and my ancestor got scared
    She said ‘You’re movin’ with your auntie and uncle in Finland”‘

    I begged and pleaded with her day after day
    But she packed my coffin and sent me on my way
    She gave me a knife and then she gave me my horse.
    I put my axe on and said, ‘I might as well slice it’.

    I whistled for a horse and when it came near
    The hoove said DEATH and it had knives in the mirror
    If anything I can say is that this horse was rare
    But I thought ‘Man burn iit’ – ‘Yo home to Finlandia’

    I pulled up to the church about seven or eight
    And I yelled to the horsie ‘Yo homes smell ya later’
    I looked to my next victim
    I was finally there
    To Burn churches on my throne as the B-Baller of FInlandia.
