Caption this

Posted: 12:48 PM ET

It's time again for you step up with the funny! Hopefully our interview with the creative and comical creators of Jib Jab has given you a little extra "Caption This" inspiration because we think this one is going to be a little tougher than usual. It's certainly going to bring out some less literal and more esoteric entries!

Take a look at this iReport submission of the sinister set of characters that was left at the bottom of a can of SpaghettiOs® A to Z's and go deep, get weird. Then tell us how you would caption this picture:

SpaghettiOs of doom

Want to know the story behind the paranormal pasta pic? We've got that AND the winner of our last "Caption this" contest on the next page.

Beach Bubble

"FEMA rolls out it's new evacuation plan."

Caption This winner Kathleen Fear

"Caption This" winner Kathleen Fear

Contrats to Kathleen Fear of Cooper City, Florida who submitted the winning caption! Location was Kathleen's biggest inspiration for that caption... she says, "I'm thrilled to be chosen as the photo caption winner. I live in Florida, and we're in Hurricane season 6 months of the year. The ridiculousness of the photo reminded me of some of the lame plans people have to 'ride out a storm,' and the equally absurd responses to a disaster that we have all seen FEMA come up with in the past."

We're a little behind on our t-shirt distribution plans (it's harder than we thought to come up with a design we all like)... but we'll have some good swag on it's way to all our winners soon! Promise!

Tamie and her son William with the can
Our newest "Caption this" pic was sent in by Tamie Pryor of Oswego, Illinois. That's Tamie and her son William in the pic above with the actual can of SpaghettiOs® A to Z's that contained that creepy combination of pasta letters.

They were out of the boring old round noodles at the store, so she bought a can of the alphabet shapes. William doesn't know what the word said by the way... Mom just told him that the noodles spelled "something."

Her friends asked if she staged the picture by spelling out "DIE" on her own, but Tamie says, "Why would I choose THAT word?" Indeed in her iReport submission Tamie asks, "Why couldn't it have [spelled out] something like "love" or "you just won $1 million?"

It could be worth some fun swag for you if you can think of a good caption for Tamie's "noodles of doom."

I have spent many hours over the past several days meditating deeply on the can, and I have come to the conclusion that I am in fact a prophetess blessed with the gift of divination and realize it is my obligation to offer my service to the world.
