This week, That One. Next week, terrorists. Submit for either at lolterizt@gmail.com
Meanwhile, pass ’em around, spread the love, and if you make your own, don’t be shy about dropping a link to your pics in the comments. The more, the merrier.
NOTE TO READERS: Hovering your mouse over the picture activates closed captioning for the l33t-speak/txtmsg impaired.

This week’s uncaptioned picture for you to play with:
Definitely Kris, but I’m not sure whether for the 18 year old Simpson’s reference, or the 61 year old Bugs Bunny reference (well, technically the 63 year old Bogart reference)
What say you?
PRODUCTION NOTES:
#1: When creating lolbama! pictures, please caption with either black or white text, as colors like red and yellow tend to blur badly when I compress the images.
#2: Standard image size for these posts is 350px wide by whatever high. If you can have your images 350px wide before you caption them, I won’t end up shrinking your captions into illegibility when I re-size the images.
MAKE YOUR OWN: The free lolbuilder from I Can Has Cheezburger.
STYLE NOTE: Short captions are usually better. Your goal is 10 words or less, with humor value tending to increase exponentially as the number of words approaches 1.
Send your submissions to lolterizt@gmail.com and – if they aren’t obscene (IMAO is a PG-13 site) and don’t suck too terribly bad – I’ll post them for you. Remember to include your name (and blog URL, if applicable) so I know who to thank.
This post has nothing to do with buying my book.
Yes it does, Frank. That last picture is Obama talking to a Secret Service agent about your book.
Obama: “Where does he live?”
Agent: “Boise, Idaho. The 52nd state, I believe.”
Obama: “Well, pick him up and get him here.”
Agent: “Dead or alive, sir?”
Obama: “Yes.”
Agent: “Dead or alive, sir?”
Obama: “Yes, of course he’s dead or alive. What else is there? Zombies aren’t real, Agent! Why am I surrounded by morons?”
I just realized that Frank’s icon makes it look like Jimmy just got a bright idea. Or maybe it is a really fat bowling pin that ate a bowling ball that is going to fall on little Jimmy. Look out Jimmy!
Agent: “Dead or alive, sir?”
Obama: “Yes – but just bring me his head.”
Obama: “What’s he like?”
Agent: “Well, sir, he’s some kind of funny guy.”
Obama: “What do you mean?”
Agent: “He wrote a book about you!”
Obama: “Yeah? (smiling) Is it good?”
Agent: “Well on it’s cover, it seems very positive. But you’ll have to read it, sir.”
Obama: (frowns) “How much does it cost?”
Agent: “You won’t believe this sir. $1.99”
Obama: “That’s a joke. It can’t be any good at that price.”
Obama: “Do I get a percentage?”
Agent: “No, sir.”
Obama: “Too bad. I would have had the State Dept. buy a few thousand copies.”
While I always like an old Bugs Bunny reference, you have to go with the Underpants Gnomes even if you don’t consider it obscure enough. You just have to. That is what Obama would do according to the Powerpoint slides leaked this week from the White House:
Step One: More taxes and stimulus
Step Two: ?????
Step Three: Crowned emperor for life
Matt – the Obscury is not a popularity contest. It’s a reward for puzzling the most people into clicking the reference link. It’s also purely subjective, since I have no way to check how many people click which links.
Anyway, it should not be confused with the “High Praise!” award for having the best caption.
For my money Arik’s South Park reference is the most obscure (I know, the most clicks, etc.).
Lars, your ‘shop of the Fantastically Flatulent F’wad is a hoot!
OH! The inhumanity!
What? Harvey, you don’t have a click counter? This is not science? Oh, wait, if this was science you could determine the winner before we submitted them.
I’ll go with Kris’ “In debt”. Obscure to me as my son was too young to let him watch and have that much fun at such a tender age so I missed several seasons.
