Welcome to the 2nd installment of Too Much To Think.
The concept is simple, all you have to do is release your inner smart arse by submitting a caption to go within the thought bubble in the picture. The thinker/victim today? Chris Flynn. A man vying for the title of most dapper gent of the MWF. If you’re curious about creating your own publication then you can see him chair Fly Like a Butterfly...
Happy thinking!

I hope Angus Young doesn’t sue me for stealing his look.
This red lanyard goes so well with my red eyes…
Wouldn’t it be great if I could write and ride a bike at the same time.
What’s that? I’ve won the Dumb Hat Award? What a surprise!
I can’t believe Eli Horowitz didn’t compliment my double-breasted cardigan.
Man, that Where the Wild Things Are trailer really looks like an ad for the new Ford Territory.
‘God that ecstacy was good…Now, off to find a hat that doesn’t look quite so ridiculous while wearing a suit…Maybe I should do what those young writers said, and get myself a balaclava?..I LOVE YOU MAN!!’(hugs the nearest person on the escalator, then runs off mewling like a inebriated donkey)
‘Hands up anyone in the audience that’s made it with an orangutang?’
I AM A WHITE TREE.
“No, I’ve never directed Tom Hanks!”
If you were looking at what I’m looking at, you’d be snatching at your thought bubbles too.
Thief, Baggins! We hates it, we hates it, we hates it forever!
‘RUN, RUN FOR YOUR LIVES – THE CLOUDS ARE COMING! THE CLOUDS ARE COMING!! Arrrgggh, for the love of god RUN YOU FOOLS! It has my hand, I’m done for. SAVE YOURSELVES! Tell Eli I love her. Arrrrrrgggggggghhhhhh.’
Oh my God, the MWF Twitter site is censoring comments! Is Twitter the new TV commercial and not the unfettered comment forum I thought it was?
‘Maybe no one will notice my incredibly dialated pupils and comb-over if I wear this incredibly shitous hat?’
My hand was just there a minute ago…
I wonder if people will have either the ingenuity for something amusing, or the decency to say something which isn’t small minded and snidey.
“It started out as a tag-cloud, but by now it’s changed into a brain-storm.”
It’s a fine silver-lining between smartarse and snidey
Oh, do shutup.
It’s all in fun. Sheesh.
