When I was in high school, one of my teachers had a calendar of cutesy dog photos combined with captions that were pretty much punchlines of tired jokes. In May, it was a photo of shih tzu wearing a pink bathing cap while climbing out of a picnic basket. It was really absurd. What made it even stranger was the caption: "How can I be overdrawn? I still have checks left."

Notice that the dog was not writing checks. It was climbing out of a basket while wearing a shower cap. I would ponder the absurdity of May's entry five times a week for forty-five minutes, getting stuck in a giggle loop at least twice a period.

These photos are connected to their captions only as well as that old calendar did it. And the visuals aren't as good. D plus.

There's a lot of confusing IR with contemporary global political issues. And cats.

The "Eventually" cat is one of the laziest-looking cats I've seen. It seems to be evolving toward a state of blob.

Some day, I hope, the internet will learn that simply captioning pictures of cats does not make for funny.

yeah, that eventually cat looks almost like a different species, a nonhousecat.

I was thisclose to an IR minor in college, and I only found a few of these lolworthy.

Please make the captions at the top or bottom of the pic, stop ruining the details of the funny cat pics.

Hmm. This would work better as a series of videos, perhaps edited in the style of a documentary.

Any idea where I can pick up a pallid bust of one of those?
