It’s Labor Day in the USA today, which means most Hooniversalists are out somehwere, eating grilled food and hopefully blasting around in a boat, in their car, or on their bike. But for those of you who are in other nations, forced to work today, or simply don’t go outdoors, here’s a bonus edition of the Hooniverse Classic Captions Contest for you.
I’ve been holding onto this image for a while, unsure of what kind of response it might generate. It’s only a couple years old, so it’s not exactly “classic,” and bikes in general are a bit of a niche interest on the ‘Verse. But today is a bit of a throwaway, site-traffic-wise, so why not? It’s such an interesting throwback in this era of political correctness and liability fears: here’s a manufacturer’s press photo showing rider doing a burnout while a morsel of cheesecake (fresh from filming a Busch Beer ad, I’d guess) looks on enthusiastically. As for the significance of the ceramic dog and the pop-up shade tent, your guess is as good as mine. In one nod to modern litigiousness, the rider is admittedly pretty ATGATT.
Surely, there are a couple of clever captions for this photo already popping into your head.

Last week’s Ford Van ad really brought out the baser instincts of our commenters, as one would expect. Tiberiuswise took top honors with the opening comment, “Good job guys. You can hardly tell where it used to say Free Candy.” (Not so amazingly, GTXcellent posted almost the same comment at almost the same moment. Low hanging fruit, indeed.) But second place went to inveterate yukster Alff with a comment that at least limited itself to consenting adults: “I bet we could make some good money filming ourselves doing it in the van as it drives around. If only there were a way to easily distribute the movies.”
