Friday Caption Contest - Windy Day Edition

It’s really, really, really windy today. 30mph cross-winds that left me with an earache by the time I got to the office. It would have been great to get some shelter from that, though if there’d been a giant space monster thing to hide behind, I doubt I’d have had the courage of these guys (at Burning Man?):

So your challenge for today is to come up with a suitable caption for this photo. We’ve got a fabulous [virtual] prize for the best entry - a ride in the basket of Miss Almira Gulch’s bike !

Just leave your entry below as a comment.

    The rare and mysterious tentaculous-rattleous drew quite a crowd of admirers. They came to observe its unique “Windy Wave” mating dance. However, they seem to be rather unimpressed. One observer was quoted as saying, “It just looks like its blowing around in the wind.”

    ‘I find it easier to just pull the squidgy bits off and eat those and not bother with the wheels and frame.’

    Very good! Here’s mine - though I’m disqualified from winning the prize ;-)

    It’s a little song I wrote about 5th Eu Motoring Directive, strict liability and the need for the UK to get off its high horse and in line with the rest of the civilised world. It’s dedicated to Philip Hammond, MP.

    How many roads must a man want to build
    Before you call him a man ?
    How many seas must a huge betenticled alien sail
    Before she sleeps on the sand ?
    Yes, how many times must the cannon balls fly
    Before they’re forever banned ?
    The answer my friend is blowin’ in the wind
    The answer is blowin’ in the wind.

    Yes, how many years can a hoverboard exist
    Before it’s washed to the sea ?
    Yes, how many years can some people drive
    Before they will want to be free ?
    Yes, how many times can a man turn his head
    Pretending he just didn’t see you mate?
    The answer my friend is blowin’ in the wind
    The answer is blowin’ in the wind.

    Yes, how many times must a man look up
    Before he can see the sky ?
    Yes, how many ears must one man have
    Before he can hear people cry ?
    Yes, how many deaths will it take till he knows
    That too many people have died ?
    The answer my friend is blowin’ in the wind
    The answer is blowin’ in the wind.
