Greetings Most Awesome Kingdom in the Known World…. It is I, your happy go lucky Maestro De Giocco, or That Guy Phil with the 1st Photo caption contest of the Æthelmearc Gazette’s short existence. Today’s subject to be lampooned is yours truly sharing some cyber space with three of the most famous bogatyrs, Dobrynya Nikitich, Ilya Muromets and Alyosha Popovich, who are represented together in Victor Vasnetsov‘s 1898 painting Bogatyrs and a duck. The painting photoshopped was found on Wikpedia and claims to be available for sharing, and manipulation. I am doing both. Neither ducks nor Bogatyrs were harmed in the making of this.
I am thick skinned, so please have fun and let the jokes fly. Leave your captions in the comment boxes below
“Phil, are you SURE you got the directions right?”
One Bogatyr to another: “That is the strangest looking duck I’ve ever seen.”
the hillllllllsssss are aliiiiiiiiiiiiiiiive…………
“The hills are alive! With the sound of music . . . “
“I knew we shoulda taken that left turn at Albuquerque!”
Skeptical at first, the three Bogatyrs wait for results from Maestro Filipo’s much heralded “booty call”.
Come on, let’s keep looking, there has to be a better candidate for the fourth horseman. This guy just doesn’t have the right vibe for Famine…
Yonder lays the castle of my father!
“I don’t know why you two are looking over there. The guy with the duck on his head is pretty dreamy. “
First, thou putest thine right gauntlet in. Next, thou pulleth thine right gauntlet out. Third, though purest thine right gauntlet in, taking care that thou shakest it, verily, all about. Doest thou then thy grandest pokey, taking care to appear hokey. Verily this, then, is what “duping Bogatyrs of all their fine armor” is all about.
“My noble lords, I do not see any giants. All I see are windmills.”
On second thought, let’s not go to Camelot. It is a silly place.
Duck, Duck, Pelican….
“You have my sword…” “…and you have my bow.” “…and *my* duck.”
Oyeh-this Eastern brow unguent is MOST unusual……and dazzling!
Does this duck make my butt look big? Seriously, guys, are you even looking? Pay attention. Does this duck make my butt look big?
