Signature image in need of caption EDIT: Done!

Unread post by Cialbi »

So, I recently couldn't resist using one of LupisDarkmoon's avatars in place of my old avatar, which some of you may remember. Not wanting to let the priceless screenshot fall into disuse, I recropped the original image to make my latest signature.

Thing is, I feel that there needs to be a caption to it, but I can't settle upon one. So, I'm opening this up to the creative minds here. The caption I do choose to use will be put right underneath the image, in italics, and I will credit the author just as I have credited LupisDarkmoon for making the image I use as my avatar.

Some background: This turtle, named Fonlithien, was tamed several months ago; maybe even a year ago (I may just look up when I got my BFD achievement). For some reason, I felt compelled at the time to tame Ghamoo-ra. So, this is a 'baby picture', in a sense, even though she had successfully solo'd Valhalas and many BC heroics before she morphed into her current, spiky self. Oh, and Fonlithien is a female; the announcer at Valhalas said so :P. The screenshot was taken at Halloween, in the old Light's Hope Chapel. I was walking away from the innkeeper with a handful of candy, when I noticed what Fonlithien was up to. I set the camera angle, hid the UI, and waited until she did her idle animation.
Inspired by this screenshot, and because I don't think I will ever retame Fonlithien, I later tamed Cranky Benj on Nazthandol, my hunter in the <Petopians> guild - who was then named Applesoup.

Yes, 'bobbing for apples' is the correct term afaik.

I'll give this a week or two, now that ideas have started coming in, then make a decision. If ideas stop flowing in by next Wednesday, I'll call it; otherwise, I'll wait another week.

"What you mean dis is not turtle bath?" (Feel free to make it grammatically correct if you're not into the lolspeech thing.)

"But Dad...I'm not ready yet!"

"Am I cute/adorable now?"

I always hated caption contests like these...

"AUGH! CLOSE THE CURTAIN! I'm not dressed!"
"Needs more salt."

Well, I said that I would let this run 'til at least Wednesday, but I started deliberating today, and just made my decision, so I probably wouldn't give equal consideration to any future submissions. I did try my best to not associate the submissions with the submitters, but I'm only human.

So, thank you to all of you for your ideas; it wasn't an easy choice! In fact, I almost went with "What you mean dis is not turtle bath?" since I like the idea of her speaking in broken English (or Common, if you rather).
