Tim Eyman v. Ron Sims
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.

1. "Don't touch me there!!"
2. I'm from the government and I'm here to help you.
3. Tim, we're looking for a grand marshal for Pride 2009!
4. "Get you damn hand off my wallet"
5. "Politics is a contact sport, Tim"
"No, Ron, you can't be my date to Rossi's Inaugural ball!"
6. "Man Law violation! MAN LAW VIOLATION!!!"
7. Are you supporting Proposition 1 or are you just glad to see me?
8. "Hey, Tim, I understand there's a thwell bath house justh down the street."
9. Sims: "Handshake??? Oh, I thought you said man-shake."
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.
11. King County Exec Sims Caught Disregarding the Critical Areas Ordinance.
12. Eyeman: "Damnit Ron, now I've got that stupid "Ebony & Ivory" song stuck in my head."
13. OUCH!! Dangit Ron, is that a billy-club your pokin' me with...or are you just really, really, really happy to see me?
14. Dammit Tim, you were right! Taxes are too high!
15. Keep pullin' Tim! You've almost got that thorn out of my side!
16. He is made of marshmallow!
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".
20. Ron would probably get 3 1's from the judges with this very weak, clumsy pasadobles.
21. (1) sheeeayt--where's my carry concealed??!! am I legal here? or in violation of King County rules?
(2) whoooah--that's not the Ron Sims I used to know!...
(3)watch me flip this guy!!
(4)breath mints!
(5) Ooopaaaaa'!
(6) Arrrrrrrrghh!---Pirate's Honor!
22. Hey, everybody! See how tolerant I am?
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?
Shamelessly stolen from Steve Martin in "The Jerk">
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."
26. How has nobody said the obvious?
"I WISH I KNEW HOW TO QUIT YOU!!!"

29. Okay, you won at the special olympics, but you're
still retarded!
30. Um Joe, America for Truth in Plitics might want to invest in a dictionary or spell check...
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."
33. Tim says, "Yo, Ron, those grope a dope tactics only work on Democrats".
34. "NO means NO, Ron!!"
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".
37. DISTURBING.
38. C'mon Ron, you don't know me THAT well!
39. ..but I think #11 wins.
