Scratched and humiliated, Faramir returns from rescuing Buckles, Denethor's cat, from the White Tree.

It's FARAMIR! (Yes, raven locks and all). And what does he see? Something surprising. Or maybe it's just the guards behind him who are surprised. Think of a humorous caption for this image, and post it in the "comments'' section of THIS page.  Click on the thumbnail to see a larger image, but be sure to return to this page before posting your caption (do not post on the page with the larger image).

 

As always, the only prize is the satisfaction of a job well done!

 

Remember, TolkienOnline is a family friendly site, so keep all captions CLEAN and G rated.

 

Tip: We are looking for captions, not stories. The best ones are usually short. And please-- no gas jokes.

and someone has posted in nearly every caption contest so far: "where will you be when your laxative stops working?" Yes. It works. For every picture. Let's skip it here :-).

 

This week's winner was naurghash, with:

 "Scratched and humiliated, Faramir returns from rescuing Buckles, Denethor's cat, from the White Tree." 

 (click the thumbnail to truly appreciate this caption!)

 

First runner up was "Faramir wonders if he's stumbled into the 47th Gondorian Star Trek Convention" by Agamemnon

 

Other top captions were:

 

"He may be too short to fight but if we ever run out of rocks for the catapults..."

 

 

Faramir stood silently, wondering whether to accept the Halfling's challenge. For he was not sure just how fast these Hobbits could draw....

 

 

One Guard to the Other: "How come the Captains never have to wear these stupid helmets?"

 

 

The pair solemnly shake hands... if Frodo fails, then Faramir has to wear the silly hat.

 

Faramir is annoyed he wasn't told about "silly hat day" in Minas Tirith

 

Gandalf to Guards: In this desperate hour, I'm bringing you an archer of unsurpassed skill. Come on, Robin Hood, I'll show you around.

 

 

Farimir- Yes Gan...dal...f.... oh, blast it, I can't read the que cards....

 

  

"No SIR, I wasn't aware that I looked ridiculous: I get TLC, ESPN, and four HBO's with this helmet."

 

 

Oh yeah? Well let's see how you look after the writers get through with YOUR character!

 

  

Mid-dream, Pippin realizes that he isn't wearing pants.
