Friday’s have become a bit of a playground around here at The Art of Doing Stuff. A day for ridiculousness. ’Cause we all need a bit of ridiculousness in our lives. Unless that ridiculousness comes in the form of Rob Schneider. Or harem pants. That kind of ridiculous we can do without. At least I can.
Today is Caption This day on The Art of Doing Stuff.
I would like for you to take a look at the following photo and then think up a caption for it. I think it’s best if I don’t provide you with any background on the photo because I don’t want to influence your caption at all. Suffice it to say this is a bit of a departure for me, and the following photo may be disturbing to some readers.
Viewer Discretion is advised.
Caption This …
Don’t say I didn’t warn you. Best caption as judged by me, the fella, a random stranger, my cats and a ball of dryer lint … wins an Art of Doing Stuff tea towel!
Captions accepted until Sunday, April 29th at midnight.
Have a good weekend!

oooops
Lynne
Margaritas and break dancing – sounded like a good idea at the time!
Kate
I think I left it right…over…here.
Lynne
I have three: It seems some people can fall asleep just about
anywhere.
Is this the result of wearing black socks with
musclemen pajamas ?
Is Stair Yoga on the cusp of replacing Hot Yoga ?
Cheers !!

We were unprepared when the earth’s magnetic poles shifted.
(and I’m hoping it was staged and not a reproduction of a fall) =O
gloria
Karen is determined to save electricity and reduce her carbon footprint by ingesting her milk shake ingredients then throwing herself down a series of stairs.
gloria
A breech baby, Karen continues to have her own way of climbing stairs.
paula
Gloria, are you a stand up comic? I think a comedy blog is in order…
gloria
Actually…well no, stand-up would have me hurling in my hat, I would be way too nervous. But I did write a humor column for many years for the newspaper. These days I keep a blog just to archive some of my old columns. (hence the reason I haven’t posted anything to it since Moses was a boy.)
Diane
Gloria, What’s your blog called?
gloria
Diane, it’s called My Front Porch, because that’s where I started writing the column many years ago, same name I used in the newspaper, too. I just kept the name going on the blog, even when I started doing my writing in the house on one of those new-fangled computer contraptions instead of a yellow legal pad and a Ticonderoga No.2. gloriaslater.blogspot.com Think the last archive post was in 2009. Yikes,I really ought to put some more columns up, eh, Karen
Karen
LOL. Indeed you should.
~ karen
michelle
um… favorite.
Tanya Stewart
The fella tried to warned her, but….unconvinced and after ” one too many ” Karen decided to try waxing the staircase with her brilliant handmade beeswax-coated socks. ( all was not lost…as her feet were an blissfully smooth for weeks afterwards….quite a success,really….so suck it, fella. )
Karen
Extra point for working the phrase “suck it” into the comment. ~ k
Alene
“This is a public service announcement from the Coffee Council.”
I’ve been stalking your blog for a while now. Thanks for making whatever beverage I’m drinking come out of my nose. . . on more than one occasion!
Bethkay
You said it! I posted a link to the Bogs gveaway on my blog and that’s what I said about Karen – she is snort-pop-out-your-nose funny!! (pop is soda for al you southerners ;0)
Alene
Insert smiley face with soda projectiling from nose here!
Tina
:>=)
Looks more like Hitler than nasal beverage projectiles though.
trinity
Soda? Oh hell no, Honey, it is Coke, not soda. Like this: “Would you like a Coke? Let’s see, I have 7-Up, Nehi Grape, Diet Coke? Honestly. Soda.
stargazyrr
Some people choose to do everything the hard way.
misskher
Karen attempts the lesser known “toot central” yoga pose.
Emmy
My mother was right, you should never EVER run down the stairs in socks! Ouch.
gloria
In a diabolical assassination attempt, and planning to set up a junta regime, Karen’s cats have eaten the rubber nubbies off the bottoms of her no-skid slipper socks.
paula
OMG, Gloria, that is hilarious!!haha…
Bethkay
Ok, that one really did make me LOL
Sherry
I vote for gloria – I thought that cat looked unhappy with the renovation.
Amy
Can’t. stop. laughing.
gf
3rd for gloria-
+1 for working in the true evil of cats.

Bethany
After only two classes at the local YMCA, an over-ambitious Karen attempts the classic Yoga move, “The Slinky”, and discovers why it’s not on the beginner’s roster.
Erin Q.
Though casual Friday at the contortionists’s club could never involve jeans due to their constricting nature, the Board of Directors never dreamed the acrobat would show up wearing pyjamas. Perhaps a revision in policy was in order.
Katie Morgan
I fell…….and was sober.
Pam G.
So much for my rendition of Zou Bisou Bisou…
Emmy
Now kiddies, don’t try this at home… Ummm… Ooops!
Diane T
My God, these pyjamas TASTE good!
trinity
It really does look like she is sucking, uh tasting, on her lapel there. Pua Ting.
Charlene Austin
OMG I am so laughing at all the comments.
Caro
Clearly this doesn’t need a caption – haven’t any of you heard of ‘Stair Twister’?
Seriously, in the background I can just picture the fella: “right hand – baseboard”
(‘Stair Twister’ soon to be trademarked by Hasbro)
T.D.
Hysterically snort-laughing in a library quite office. I guess without a memo, you’ll never be able to tell it’s here FRIDAY e.v.e.r.
Christina B
” Yep, I forgot to dust this baseboard!”
Chris v
OMG have you SEEN what’s down here???
Evie
“Help, I’ve fallen and I can’t get up.”
(old TV commercial reference there… LifeCall! hahaha)
Allison
What “The Shining” would have looked like if Johnny was trying to master photoshop instead of writing a novel.
Tris
…at this point, Karen realized that even though her body builder jammies usually made her invincible, they had one weak point. They could not protect her from the dreaded slippery socks on stairs monster. (cue ominous music) Bom Bom Boooooooom!
Rachel White
“FELLA! I fell down the stairs again! No, no, no don’t help me up! Go get the camera!”
Bethkay
ROFLOL!
Amanda
Fella: “Hey Karen I learned this new “Crossfit” exercise that we can do at home do you want to try it with me?”
Karen: “NOOOO(thump)OOOOO(thump)OOOOO(thump)OOOOO
(thump)OOOOO(thump)”
Melanie
Oh my gosh, I got a wedgie!
Marie Peters
How many ways do I have to tell you, it went that way…
Cathy
Um mm guess I should not try and polka down the stairs after a long morning of brown bottle wrestling.
Mandy Y
‘I am the stair MASTER!’ (said in best Donkey voice)
Sara S.
Karen should have realized long before her readers suggested “Stair Sock Surfing” that saying “I’ll figure it out” to a bunch of loonies was a BAD idea!
Sevi
Fella:”I’ve decided to run another marathon again”
Karen:”Just a second. I need a quick suicide”
Amy
That was amazing!!

Heather
This is what you call black out Friday, when your so freakin excited to save money you run outta bed and fall down the stairs!!
Mary
Karen would try anything for a (OHIP covered) massage.
Elise
Good God, Lemon!
sara

Judy D.
The fella’s snoring drives me “out of my mind.”
beverly h
OK. Now, roll the video backwards…
Nathalie
I’m…just…so…tired…
Tina
Karen to Fella: I have no idea what the hell you are talking about, the molding looks level to me even at this angle. Get down here and look for yourself if you don’t believe me or just “suck it”.
Ginny
This is what happens when you try to avoid stepping on the cat on the stairs in your socks. Thanks for letting us know which way the little bugger went.
PS Where did you get your jammies? I want a pair.
sara
i’d push you down the stairs too if you came to bed wearing that.
Deb J.
My second best fave!!
beverly h
When Karen regained consciousness, she realized that she did not leave her reading glasses downstairs after all.
Anne
Slip-sliding-away.
Matthew
1) Karen to the Fella: “Hurry up and take the damn picture.”
or
2) Says the Fella: “I thought your Marty McFly (Back To The Future) air-guitar tryouts were next week.”

In the Fella’s sweetest voice, “How many times do I have to tell you I don’t want a band-aid?” (good thing I already have a towel, huh? LOLOLOL 1. I can’t believe how many of your fans don’t sleep at night. 2. This seems to be a secret meeting place for the home version of Comedy Club. There are some really funny captions. I’m going to have to come back later and see what’s been added. However, this will not be the day I tell my family and friends that I have found this really great do it yourself site they should all check out. LOLOLOL

Caption-
Col. Mustard with the candle stick found in the conservatory.
Subtext-
Miss Scarlett found dead at her Tudor Mansion. Her body was found at the foot of the cellar stairs by Prof.Plum.
The cause of death has not yet been determined, but there are plenty of likely objects around the mansion that could have been used…
Denise
As I wrote once before, your readers comments are at least half the fun of your site and just like chicken coop building, I won’t be trying this one, but love to watch you do it!
Karen Boreham
Teflon stair skids, not as effective as you might think.
Shirley
Not *quite* the Grand Entrance Karen had planned for …
Deb
Karen fall down go boom!!!
Sorry, that’s the best I could do!!
Eileen
Karen, ever ready to demonstate a new technique for her Followers, attempts to fall down the stairs….from bottom to top.
Carole
Does my bum look big like this?
Amy Schmucker
Break Dancing comes back into style… With new comfort relaxed Fashion.
gloria
*This is not a caption. If it were, it would be the lamest one ever.* Midnight always confuses me. Do you mean Sunday going into Monday midnight or Saturday going into Sunday midnight?
Karen
Gloria – You’re right it is confusing. Technically I should have said Monday at midnight. So how about we go with Sunday night at 11:59 p.m. is the deadline? ~ karen!

This week, Karen Bertelsen’s beautifully posed body was found eaten by a brood of chickens. Much of the woman had been nibbled by her pets after a staircase-related accident weeks ago. “She loved those chickens so much. She spent half her time feeding them. And then videoing it. I suppose they had a big appetite,” said a neighbour.
Monica
Curse you, hardwood, and your expensive price tag!
Beth
The man on the pj’s had his way with me.
Stacy
What??? I’m just chillin…..
Arlene
Karen rethought her original idea of dusting the stairs with her old body builder flannel p.j.’s — realizing, after it was too late, that it would have worked out better for her if she took them off first!
christine
Why didn’t Karen listen when the fella said,”Please don’t wake me again”? I know that is a little sick.Smirk.
Kerri
Finally, with the antenna taped and extended from her right foot, another half millimeter lift of her finger and a tin foil hat carefully placed on the Fella’s head with a half twist to the left.. Karen was able to enjoy perfect reception on her new-to-her antique television set. “Ah, childhood.. hello old friend.”

Proof that “Beefcake” pj’s are not all that safe after all!
Celine
I’m sexy and I know it!
Lisa
“In Florida we call that ‘hang-ten with a twist’ but usually it’s done in a bikini, with a board & in the ocean!”
I do so hope you are OK & the Fella kissed your boo boos & put you back together again!
Lisa
Perhaps the Dollar Store is NOT the best place to buy stair treads.
Tara
lol
Nathalie Sutherland
Karen to Fella…
“Ooh I see what you mean….we should fill in that crack under the baseboard.”
(Now if only there was a way of going back in time to see the Fella when he noticed the problem;)
Pam
“Can you pass me my wine, I can’t reach it from here”
Maggie V
I like to be the centre of attention. So what? You gotta problem with that?
Sandy
“I knew these ugly steps would be the death of me!”
Sorry….but I am thinking they need jazzing up. Hope I didn’t hurt any feelings.
Karen
LOL. Um, no. No feelings hurt. I ripped the disgusting carpet up from the stairs when I redid my house a few years ago and *still* need to have a custom runner made for them. Time and money. Whenever I have one … I don’t have the other. ~ karen
Sandy
I know the feeling! I really did hesitate sending that caption because I didn’t want to appear rude or ugly. It was what come to mind because I have the same issues in my old home! Never enough of money, time or something. Love your post and sense of humor! Sandy
beverly h
Ah, yes… but think of all the time and money you would save on Emergency Room visits.
Deborah
I know, it looks as though Karen fell down the stairs, right? Well, she was just giving the floor a hug!
Renee
The strangest thing was that the pajama bodybuilders had been lined up in rows before Karen took that fall.
Nora
“You know I’ll try anything. But break-dancing UP the stairs is harder than I thought.”
Mary
This is how you do Stair Surfing.
White
Is my slip showing?
Jules
“I warned you Karen! Im REALLY getting sick of this!”
(visual of gorgeous, defined muscular arms pushing feeble Karen down the stairs)
“This is what you get for turning that #%&*ing camera on me while Im sleeping!”
paula
“watch out for that first step – it’s a doozy”
Leslie
The Fella’s Payback…no one films attempts at bandaging while he sleeps anymore.
cindy
suck it; i’m still pretty in pink…….
Suzanne
Sorry, no caption, but HOLY CRAP – I thought I was the only one with those AWESOME pyjamas!!!! Mine are so worn out that I have to ration their use for “special occasions”.
Karen
LOL! I got them for Christmas from one of my sisters YEARS ago. ~ karen
Jillian
Muscle man pj’s take out woman. Detectives baffled.
Joan
Ballet practice gone array.
Debbie
After a day of gardening in her pink-flannel-muscle-man pajama’s, Karen mysteriously is found lying in a heap at the bottom of the stairs… and The Fella is nowhere to be seen.
Val
Having had a particularly bean-heavy menu this week, Karen’s flatulence has reached inhuman levels of strength and is starting to result in dire physical consequences.
Beth
I really wish I could win, cause I’d love a towel – but VAL – I was in TEARS from laughing at your post!!! I hope you win, this would soooo work in our house (if we had stairs!)Toooooo funny!!! Whether it’s Karen’s posts and/or comments from other “blog-stalkers” such as myself – I never leave here without a laugh!! Thanks!
Sherry
