TG Captions are one of my favorite forms of storytelling. There is no narrative fluff, no extraneous details, just the hook, the twist, and the climax.
It was the look on her (his) face that tells the story. From all-star to ass-starlet overnight, I wondered why she looked so reluctant and yet so compliant, and then the puns kind of snuck in and led me across the goal line.
Hmmm, I've got a few more bits of hockey innuendo for your follow up! "goalie crease" "poke check" "came in the zone too early" "checked into the cage" "lost his stick" "5 on 3" "went 5 hole" "pulling the goalie" "short handed" "couldn't get it up over the pads" "wrist shot" "2 minutes for roughing" "first period" "spearing"
ReplyDeleteOk, I got a bit carried away! "He shoots, he scores!"
My mind totally went into the gutter like I'm some sort of horny Canadian!
I had a longer caption originally planned, one that gave the reporter more of a catalyst role, and which picked up on a bit more hockey terminology . . . but my laptop crashed and this was my early morning attempt as rescuing the idea.
DeleteI am totally saving 5-hole, 5-on-3, poke check, and spearing for the next one, though. :)
I nearly missed this one, I love it Sally....I can think of so many jocks that I was tormented by way back when that I would so wish this on them!!!!!
