I haven’t been around much lately– looking for work’ll do that to you.
But man, it just hit me to come by today…. and find a miserable construction site picture. Ugggh.

Gers, you gave me a place for the past…. well, hell, I don’t know, 6, 7 years? to goof off at.
Damn you and your brilliance. It was always great to see familiar names pop up, captions with like-minded thinking, and being able to run with a joke that either someone or myself created a dozen caps before.

Now all I can do is go feed the pandas at the local zoo. They’re not nearly as funny, and they certainly don’t understand a good Steve Reeves Hercules movie.
Wait, there weren’t any good ones.

Bah.

Oh, that reminds me, in my new comic strip, I paid a little homage to our favorite crew and the state of theaters today a few weeks back. Check it out.

I put up a new strip every week too. *plug plug*

Okay, I’ll shut up now.

Until the next movie sign….

Then that was shut down and I frantically searched high and low for my fix. Lo and behold - I found IS and life was good.

Now I haven’t used the site as often as I could have. I love capping, but I only came by off and on. (I regret that, given how much fun I have when I get capping - it’s one of my favorite online pastimes on good days.) And I loved every improvement you made to the system - it kept getting better.

And of course I must mention the pride I felt when I designed the menu for the site and my design was used. Ok, so I was the only person who submitted an entry, but still. It was just a whim, noone had submitted, and I had several ideas on how to make a good menu for the site. (Also I’d just finished the Web Design minor at my college). It was just really neat coming to one of my favorite sites on the net and seeing something I had helped create at the top. :-)

Anyway, Thank you Gerson. Thank you for making us laugh at captions… again. This site will be sorely missed.

And now that IS has gone the way of the dinosaur, there is a hole in my heart. I’m not sure if there’s a correlation between those two facts, but in either case it doesn’t really matter. I have to get to a hospital right away.

Farewell, IS. May flights of Angel_Noirs sing you to your rest.

The Samurai isn’t one prone to emotion, expect no tears, whimpers, or sniffles. I am however a man of few words, especialy online. And to even write this it means I have to admit how much capping means to me. One fo teh first things i EVER did when my computer was first introduced to the internet was try “Caption This!” (The other was to try to find nude pictures of Lola bunny, I was a weird kid) For over ten years, three jobs, one Book, two failed engagemnets, one battlebot, Two books, and one pound of liverwurst, Capping has been one of my passions. You say I can get my fix elsewhere, this is an untruth. No site will ever be like Caption That, no place will offer me the same good times I had capping, and I say that with the most sincere words I can type without using Esperanto (Witch i could if I wanted to).
The Samurai will not beg you to re-open, instead I choose to thank you from my deepest bowels for giving me to giood times you did, selflessly keeping this place going without even one stuck screegrab or unexpected shutdown. I owe you alot Gerson, and I will diligently struggle to keep capping without your wonderful site to do it on. You will not be forgotten
