This is a bit tardy, but the photo below from a story in Friday's Seattle Times cries out powerfully for a photo caption contest. Fire away in the comments.

10. Notice the creepy distance between Sims & Eyman in the lower extremity area. Had only that damn water pitcher not been so strategically placed, I'm certain we would, uncomfortably, have the answer why.

17. It moved.

18. And Damnit even Sims understands that taxes are too high, he is cutting 90 Million out of King County governement spending.

Microsoft will be gone before that Old fashion trolly gets to their doors.

19. Ron is always practicing just in case he gets that elusive call from "Dancing With The Stars".

Posted by: Mr. Cynical on October 19, 2008 04:06 PM
20. Ron would probably get 3 1's from the judges with this very weak, clumsy pasadobles.

23. Navin, it's your birthday, and it's time you knew. You're not our natural-born child.

I'm not? You mean I'm gonna STAY this color?

24. This photo reminds me of the big, elongated, happy hug between SPD Chief Kerlikowski and NAACP director Carl Mack after they both enjoyed a stun gunning demo.

It was the only time I ever saw Carl Mack smile.

Easily explained. High voltage shock produces a flood of endorphins.

"Where's the stun gun?"

25. Smoley's @11 is good!


"I've always loved you Tim."

31. I don' have a caption, but I'm sure glad that pitcher of water is there.....

32. Ron thinks to himself: "Now where does Tim keep his wallet... Guess I'd better give him a pat-down while I shake his hand."

Posted by: Duvall John on October 20, 2008 12:49 AM
33. Tim says, "Yo, Ron, those grope a dope tactics only work on Democrats".

35. Hello there big boy! Now that we've made same sex marriages lawful I think we should come out of the closet.

36. I've been a KC employee for a long time (libertarian mostly; yes, I keep my mouth shut) and I was once good-naturedly warned about the infamous "Sims Hugs".
