Caption Comments: This one has the feel of a Gary Larson cartoon. A simple picture. A simple idea coupled with a whacked out one. This is our E_B_A.
Capper Comments: I don't get to cap too often with E_B_A. Our cappin' shifts rarely match. But whenever they do crossover, it's always a fun time!
deckthehallswithEBA:
"you're all wrong! It was Bill Gates in the Hall with the Browser!"
Caption Comments: Simplicity..
That's what makes me laugh, that and a realistic approach to the idiots
we put up with on a day to day basis outside the reaches of cyberspace.
Capper Comments: E_B_A always finds humor in reality.
Seems he rarely hits the refresh button,
his captions are rapid fire yet he never has any duds. His gallery
has grown faster than any I've seen, and the only shortcoming I can find
is his damned handle won't work with my web search...
E_B_A:
"Anybody seen my jockstrap?" "You wanna tell him?" "No. You do it."
Caption Comments: The mere CONCEPT of having aspects of one's game cracked me up. That, and the way it seemed to just ...match the image perfectly.
Capper Comments: Hilarious caps. Simplicity indeed.
E_B_A:
"Cuttin' and scratchin' are the aspects of my game!"
"Er- okay... what does that have to do with your job qualifications?"
Caption Comments: This one's great, but it's just one of the best I couldn't pick between. E_B_A was really nailing them on the night this one appeared. I just picked it and ran. Plus, Legos make me laugh. Tee-hee.
Capper Comments: The DJ of the cap floor. The guy keeps getting funnier, no lie there. He's picked up more on the CT! quicker than anybody else I've known. At first it was like, "E_B_A. Cool." Then all of a sudden it was, like, "E_B_A!" (all caps). That doesn't come across too well. Suffice to say he's damn hilarious and keeps getting funnier.
E_B_A:
"Lego 1: this is Houston. You are cleared for launch." "I can't push the button?" "Is it a malfunction?" "No. My arms don't bend at the elbow."
Caption Comments: I love this caption. Any time I see an old couple sitting somewhere, "I ate a lemon" pops into my head. The citrus/floaties combo would never fit anywhere else than inside E's head.
Capper Comments: You can try to caption like him, but you won't have that head tilted to the side smirky quality that makes your jaw drop. I constantly ask myself, "What the hell?" and E has the answer somehow. If you can figure that out, let me know. Anyway, the shelling is fast a furious and allways an experience with da masta.
E_B_A:
"Ever since the war, Carl here's been unable to swim without those floaty arm thingies..." "I ate a lemon." "That's nice, Carl..."
Caption Comments: Oh come on, let the Hip Hop capper indulge himself once in a while! This is damn hilarious anyway, and it captures the image perfectly.
Capper Comments: Mostly, I owe a debt to Eeb because he was the first guy to include one of my caps in his gallery, and even had the decency to alert me to it when he announced his latest web site update on Cap This. It was on that cold December night that I truly became a man <sniff>. I still think of him as sort of the ambassador of Cap This, a master of his trade, and a friend to the little guy. Of course, he misspelled my handle at first, but that's forgivable, so I'll probably take him off my "Revenge List" soon enough.
E_B_A:
"Ahhh... I've climbed this mighty mountain in search of your wisdom oh great one..." "Wicky wicky! I'm the king of the cut on two turntables!"
Caption Comments: Folks, let me just say, This is how you do obscure! It might not even be that obscure a reference (not on Sci-Fi, anyway), but it's funny as hell even if you don't know what the heck is up with the dish comment, and if you do understand it's even better! I almost literally had a coronary when I made the connection and realized what it meant, I was laughing so hard.
Capper Comments: E_B_A is funnier then me, quicker then me, and friendlier then me, in real life I'd surely despise him and look for any opportunity to stab him in the back in an attempt to make myself look like his better, Thank god it'll most likely never come to that. Hmm... come to think of it, he also has more artistic and musical talent as well, looks like I will have to add another name to my hypothetical enemies list... watch your back E_B_A ;)
E_B_A:
"Hi! I'm Albert Gore! We need a president who-" *BOOM!* "Roddy Piper destroyed the dish! Ahhh! Makeup! Makeup!"
Caption Comments: Pure off-the-wall genius.
Capper Comments: E_B_A is a fresh, fly, friendly funky fellow. Too bad our capping "shifts" don't overlap more, because I sure do get a hell of a kick out of his stuff.
E_B_A:
"So... today I think I'll share with you the story about how I stapled my left hand to a commercial aircraft bound for Paris.
Caption Comments: The cap goes on forever, backwards and forwards in time. Who's in the fridge? How'd he get a phone in there? How does the guy know who it is? What the fu-? This is the Zen caption. This is the sound of one hand capping. I love this cap.
Capper Comments: My favorite caps are the ones that are funny because they *CAN'T* be explained, any anyone who can do this as well as E_B_A is a superhero in my book. He's also the most talented capper of movie refs I've ever seen, as evidenced in small part by Han's choice of a caption example. Easily two thirds of the caps I've saved by Eebs are movie refs, he has a real knack for making refs that are hilarious, and juuuuust obscure enough to make you feel cool for getting them. Eebs is enthusiastic, funny and great at giving other cappers their props. Also holds the record for breaking the "Captioneer" barrier within, like, seven seconds of his first caption. All Hail EBA!
E_B_A:
"Hello?" "Psst... I'm in the fridge." "Uh..."
Caption Comments: Bye bye EBA! Don't foget to write once you're in Hades! Ta ta!
Capper Comments: You just can't ignore a capper hellbent on getting Barbara Crampton on his own 'table-o-funky'!
EB's blantant disregard for other capper's sacred cows also warms my heart. The above cap says it all nicely. Popes, nuns, saintly figures, all on the chopping block. Not many cappers would attempt a stab at these topics, but hot damn, EB's enjoys the feel of riding in that handbasket straight to hell.
E_B_A:
"Hey! It's the almighty! The Lord! It's God!" "And he does such a good job at shimmying up that rope... gym class will never be the same again."
Caption Comments: I'm surprised to see that no one highlighted E_B_A's Demmy Award winning caption. Could it be that most of you fear frying in Hell for admitting that it's hilarious? Having spent 36 years frying in Hell (also known as El Paso, Texas), I have no such fears.
Capper Comments: When I first started capping on a regular basis
back in late '97, I sent out emails to the handles I saw most frequently
at Caption This! and announced that I was moving into the neighborhood.
E_B_A was the first Captioneer to respond. Judging by most of the
other entries here, I think it's fair to give him the title of "Ambassador
of Caption This!". There! I've arbitrarily assigned meaning to the last
letter of his handle. Now to work on the other two letters.
Eccentric_Bastard_Ambassador is one of a group of Elite_Brilliant_Aces
at Caption This! He always had an Eager_Beaver_Attitude when it comes
to welcoming funny new Cappers.
E_B_A:
"I have an urgent message from our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ- he says he wants all his hoes up in his crib for a little booty call..."
Caption Comments: Most people would simply cap Mr. Rogers' dark side by having him kill somebody or make a sexual remark. Not E_B_A. E's got too sinister an imagination for that. No lazy caps outta this kid.
Capper Comments: E_B_A was one of those guys who showed up one night and was pretty funny, and then he was pretty funny for a few weeks or whatnot, and then all of a sudden--BAM! He truly found his rhythm. And what a rhythm he's got! When it comes to mocking religion or people with disabilities, he simply has no compare, and though some people may see that as a bad thing, I love it. Bad taste humor is pretty tough to do well, and E's got the knack for it. He's also as good at coming up with strange, surrealistic caps as folks like Jazz and Shifter.
And, of course, we can't forget that he's got the flava. *scratch* The flava. *scratch* He's got the flava! *scratch* *grind down*
E_B_A:
Mr. Rogers turns to the window, chuckles, drops his pants and pisses onto the faces of the crowd below screaming "I'm more popular than Jesus!"
Capper Comments: Yes, if it wasn't for E_B_A, there would be no Angel_Noir. He praises my capping ability time after time, but I consider E_B_A to be one of the top 5 funniest cappers (I'm like 57th). I've seen him go through every thread, cap every show, do a string of 15 original caps, and still make it look easy. When I need to laugh, I look up his website and bask in the glow. Keep up the funny work!
Capper Comments: He's too kind! Says so much nice stuff about me. Boy do I have _him_ fooled! E_B_A is runny as hell (yes, it's supposed to say funny, but the typo's runni -- er, funnier). Bitchin' website ya got there, too, dude. *slapping myself out of surfer mode now*
