Well folks. You knew it was just a matter of time.
It has been a few months since that old SBI staple, You Write the Caption, has graced us but it is now time to get it back into the rotation. Many of you have been asking for it to come back and I will now look to make it a weekly installment.
I am working on securing a sponsor for YWTC so that contest winners actually win a prize like they used to. I will keep everyone posted on that in the coming days.
For now, here is a photo of Los Angeles Galaxy goalkeeper Josh Wicks, who may or may not be dazed from facing so many shots and seeing so many goals fly by his head since taking over as the Galaxy’s starting goalkeeper. Enjoy:

"Giving up goals makes me sleepy."
That’s my shot at a caption. Now it’s your turn. Please submit your caption in the comments section below and I will select the 10 best captions later this week. As an added twist to the selection process, I will pick what I think the two best captions are and then have you, the readers, vote on the winner.
Now, onto the captions. Just remember to keep them clean and keep them relatively short.
Fire away.

“All these goals are messing with my afrosheen.”
“Someone has to have the crazy hair since Xavier was released.”
Dissatisifed with the haircut mushroom person Toad (of Nintendo fame) gave him, Wicks decided to retaliate by eating the his friend alive–Galaxy officials say the 9-day (and counting) trip has not “seriously effected his game.”
I know they scored but I mean that was close, I almost messed up my hair
“I know I dropped that last percocet somewhere around here…”
“This is good grass…”
Sloth love Landycake!
This is your brain; this is your brain when playing for the Galaxy.

In the immortal words of Jean Paul Sartre, ‘Au revoir, gopher’.
Wait. I’m lost, Is there a game going on. I thought it was role playing day.
sorry for the double post – hit the back button by accident. An alternative caption:
License to kill gophers by the government of the United Nations. Man, free to kill gophers at will. To kill, you must know your enemy, and in this case my enemy is a varmint. And a varmint will never quit – ever. They’re like the Viet Cong – Varmint Cong. So you have to fall back on superior intelligence and superior firepower. And that’s all she wrote.

Spurning the fame and fortune of an entertainment career with his brothers (Alvin, Simon, and Theodore), Josh Chipmunk decides to make a go of it as an L.A. Galaxy.
In his best Robbie Fowler imitation, Wicks snorts the endline to realize it is only grass. Hey, can you snort grass?
It’s Official! after searching everywhere Josh Wicks realizes that no one will never find the galaxy defense.
durr, have you seen my soccer ball?
ABBAZABBA…you my only friend

Hi Ives,
I was just thinking of a way to get Kenny Cooper on the USMNT and thought he would be perfect for playing on the right wing. Why? Because Kenny is fast and good with the ball, besides he doesn’t use his noggin enough to score goals from the middle. Then I would move Dempsey up top with Altidore, as Dempsey proved with Fulham last year, he was good at holding the ball up top. I wish Beasley could play right back, that way they would have a speedy defender on defense. This would be my starting eleven on USMNT:
…….Altidore………….Dempsey……
Adu……Bradley……Donovan……..Cooper
Beasley…Bocanegra….Onyewu…Cherundalo
………………HOWARD……………….
What do you think?
Dave from San Francisco
Josh Wicks’ gambit of fusing a 1Up Mushroom from Super Mario Brothers to his head has unfortunately failed to secure any extra points for the LA Galaxy.
1. Originally people thought that Wick’s nickname of “S’rooms” was due to his hairstyle.
2. The LA Galaxy had a “retro” uniform and hair night in hopes it would lead to “retro-defense” from the Schmid and Osiander era’s.
3. Given cap difficulties, the many low salaried players on the LA Galaxy roster like GK Wicks often resort to picking up coins thrown at them from the stands.
Dude, Where’s my Ball?
I VOTE FOR DAVE FROM SAN FRAN’S CAPTION, FOR IT IS RELEVANT
Damn! I shouldn’t have shared my water bottle with Quaranta!

This is a hybrid. This is a cross, ah, of Bluegrass, Kentucky Bluegrass, Featherbed Bent, and Northern California Sensemilia. The amazing stuff about this is, that you can play an entire soccer game on it in the afternoon, take it home and just get stoned to the bejeezus-belt that night on this stuff.

I am ZAKUMI.
There are too many holes to plug in this defense!
apparently, the reason why the galaxy give up so many goals is that wicks lost his contact lenses in the grass.
Has anyone seen our season? I think we lost it right about here…

Well done, Wispy. Well done.
“Must … find … glasses …
Eating Doritos and drinking Dr Pepper on the bench has caused Wicks to come down with the oft-rumored “Clint Mathis Syndrome.”
Where am I and why are all these people staring at me?
“Wow, those brownies were gooooood…”

America has historically produced outstanding goalkeepers;

Hey Becks, Robbie Fowler was right sniffing the end line mellows you out man…………….

Out in Space. Where Galaxians feel at home.
. . . after the premature departure of Herbalife, the Galaxy turned in desperation to the makers of Chiapet.
Despite heavy backing by David Beckham, “Chia Wicks” was a marketing disaster . . .
(sorry, still working the Chia angle. I confess my obsession with it!)
In another desperate attempt to lure an increasingly disheartened fan base, the LA Galaxy errantly pinned their hopes on “Chia Keep.”
I promise, that is the LAST Chia caption. Unless you ask me really nicely.
