Friday Caption Contest: Fossil Fuel Edition
Congratulations to Jim Davis, the winner of last week’s competition, who identified the correct response when stopped by the police for riding a machine-gun Fredded bike, as, “Oh, I’m just borrowing the bike from Charlie Sheen”. His prize of sunburnt going to seed on a recumbent is even now being delivered to Down South by Royal Mail bicycle.
Anyway.
A couple of weeks ago, this popped up on the excellent Rising Tide site:
Obviously the dinosaur-tandem-hybrid-thing needs a speech bubble!
Enter your caption below, and really let your imagination run wild on this one - the lucky winner will receive a *year’s worth of free fuel, courtesy of our generous and environmentally responsible** sponsors at Shell.
Good luck!
*n.b. this “year’s worth” of fuel is supplied on the basis that you really want to bike everywhere anyway. So no actual fuel will be supplied. Oh, and we’re not really sponsored by Shell. Don’t think that I haven’t asked though.
**Ha ha ha haa! You wish!
To chill or to shell out. That is the question.
“n.b. this “year’s worth” of fuel is supplied on the basis that you really want to bike everywhere anyway. So no actual fuel will be supplied.”
Not even porridge?
Not even porridge. We asked Shell if they could supply bicycle fuel, and they pointed out that in order to hit the country’s target for bio-fuel additives and to exploit the tax breaks that these have, the entire productive capacity of the country’s farms is scheduled to be turned over to biofuel production.
Karl. Thanks for the prize but really, for the sweet love of all that is Holy, you don’t have to send that down South. Really, you don’t. I know I didn’t give you Fererro Rocher at the first Embassy meeting and I’d look for revenge too but that’s really harsh.
NEWS: Government demands organisms “begin fossilisation and process of becoming oil” immediately.
“Nature has to step up,” said Arthur Monkey, special adviser to Eric Pickles’ pie chef, “and realise that there are no free rides in the Big Society car. With peak oil looming, any organism unwilling to die, bury itself in tonnes of sediment and be compressed and heated until its remains become lovely burnable hydrocarbons is just dead weight.”
The dinosaur commented “I’m doing my bit. I’m proud to be part of the UK’s outmoded and ill advised transport policy, and in a hundred and fifty million years, will be able to make my own, personal contribution to speeding a 4×4 on the school run.”
