Caption this image Contest Today! 1 Month Free Trail Upgrade for TWO A.C.s CONTEST CLOSED

POLL: I have always believed this about full solar eclipse:
...That they are signs or "omens"--watch out!
...They are historically "signs" because people go bat-shit nuts!
...They meant nothing...but since Harvey/Irma I've had 2nd thoughts.
...They aren't real E.T.s manipulate the moon!
...It's a good day to order PANIC PIZZA.
...Little kids shouldn't be allowed to watch--causes nightmares.
...I never had on opinion. It still don't have an opinion!
...Babies born during a full eclipse have a "special purpose."
..I don't care about that stuff.

We will vote on the best entries around 10:00 PM EST

Remember you will need A REGISTERED ACCOUNT (blue name)
but NOT an upgrade in place. (I can't upgrade already
upgraded members.) I'll be giving green karma to member
captions that are good ones (don't need to be funny,
by the way...) But with the news of Irma coming up right
after Horrific Harvey, I could use a smile.

KIDS say the darndest things...maybe your child had
something amusing to say about the eclipse?

END EDITS



CAPTION CONTEST!

It has been A FULL WEEK since Hurricane Harvey made land-
fall today (8-25-2017)...some folks believe that HARVEY
was part of a "sign" for the U.S.A. from the Solar Eclipse
3 days earlier. (I didn't at first, but now with Harvey and
coming Irma--a possible Cat 5--I've changed my mind:
Thread: "Great American Eclipse" NOT an OMEN/Sign? LV Mass Shooting, 4 Hurricanes, X-Class Flares, 9-23 and Global Quakes changed your mind?
What about:
Thread: Expected national consequences of Hurricane Harvey-interest rates/gas/plywood/insurance/unemployment/Trump/MSM/race relations/etc. Thoughts?

Whether we can pin down whether the eclipse (8-21-2017)
was a good or bad "sign" it is interesting to put
together some ideas for what 1st grade kids might
think about it! Some might be very funny...or sad...or
even prophetic.

Let's hear your ideas!

TWO FREE TRIAL UPGRADES UP FOR GRABS:

CONTEST IS OPEN until 11:00 PM EST tonight.
Winner will receive 1 month trial update (you'll
need to be registered only with a "blue name"--I
can't upgrade current upgraded members.) Members
will receive green karma!


Old 1950's photo of school children viewing
a solar eclipse using a "pin-hole-in-a-box"
method.

Caption this image--What are these kids saying
as they watch the "August 21st 2017 Eclipse.?

What if they believed it to be "bad luck" or a
"sign?"

I'll start off with my caption:

:YesANomen:

Good luck!
