Hey there, all you beautiful people!

Last week I exposed you all to this deathless image:

… and sick… er… six of you slapped me right back with great captions. All right, it was actually five of you and a source query. BSAG, I honestly don’t recall where I found the pic. I ran across it randomly on the net a couple months ago, and, well, the rest is history.

Anyway. Five pretty hilarious captions, but in the end there can be but one winner. This week said winner is newcomer smark for this foray into potential child endangerment:
