ObamaTrain: Island-Style!
The latest $2 billion DOT project in Hawaii: a 20-mile train circuit on an island that’s 30 miles wide.
Even stranger, they’re having the Professor build it out of coconuts.

[High Praise! to Days of Our Trailers]
A couple years ago, I would’ve just chuckled condescendingly while reading this.
Now I’m using it as a checklist.

This week’s uncaptioned picture for you to play with:
Dual award this week:
Most obscure reference to most obscure former government functionary: James for “withered boob”.
Most obscure pop culture reference: Les – who is so old he no doubt actually had a subscription to National Lampoon and fondly recalls the day that issue arrived in the mail.
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.
IMAGE SOURCES: Lots of great Obama pics to be found at the White House Flickr page.
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.
