“When camping, remember to bring plenty of food and water.”
‘Senile man mistakenly believes his dog to be his elderly mother. “We don’t tell him that his mother died a month ago, because that will end our fun,” explained Mr. Kim, the town’s mayor.’
Was I supposed to be serious?
Sack lunch?
“Well, the catalog said that the backpack had a ‘built-in security system,’ but yeah, it’s not what I expected, either.”
(LOL! I love these caption contests! We can even make fun of ourselves if need be.)
Field testing the Korean Army’s new packaged rations.

“To be or not to be, that’s the question!”
“Despite fleeing all night through the heavily wooded foothills, Mr Park was unable to evade the assassin dogs.”

Those who went for the hackneyed dog = food angle just f*cking suck.
“English teacher flees Incheon Airport, marijuana sniffing dogs still missing.”
Their love forbidden by the laws of God and Man, Mr. Kim diligently struggled through the woods to get Sassie to the DMZ, and its promise of land mine-guaranteed freedom.
10/abcdefg: It is easier to criticize than be creative. Ass.
My try: Mr. Park’s belief that his wife had been reincarnated as a dog was ill-founded at best…
Walking the legless dog.

By the way, I just wanted to let you know that I’ve added you to my blogroll. You’re not obligated to add me in return or anything, but I just felt you should know.
Why is this pack leaking?
abcdefg> Oh come on, you got to give us a few dog jokes. It’s just so obvious under the situation. It’s like not allowing us to joke about the slutty one-legged, big-nosed, lesbian hooker you call “Mom”.

Sadly, the blind Mr Lee could only afford a quadriamputee seeing-eye dog.
Nearsighted Mr. Lee commits a kidnapping faux-pas after hearing from a friend about the “Young bitches at that school learn to be obedient.”
Candian English teacher Claude Millens, 22, encounters the new drug sniffing dogs of the Korean Customs Service while hiking Mt. Sorak.
Seeking to erase the deficit of Korean dogs vacationing overseas, the Korean National Tourism Office unveils the “Mark Korea Year 2009″ campaign. Foreign dogs will be given a free guide around world famous Korean attractions and be treated to special meal afterwards.
Dram, of course, mentioning meal and dog, again, in the same sentence, well…
Merely proof that dogs are leap frogging us on the evolutionary path.
First, we feed them, bathe them and supply them with fresh water and shelter, then we clean up their feces (making sure to put it neatly in a plastic bag when out). Now, we’re carrying them in backpacks and doggie bags, heaven forbid the hairy bastards might have to walk somewhere and get their paws dirty.
Now, bow down to your new master. (And, fix him some kibble and clean up his shit while you’re at it.) Woof!
After a tumultuous first few months in office, Lee Myung-bak resigns and flees into the mountains with the only person in Korea who still likes him.
@abcdefg re #10:
You’re doing it wrong. You need to retaliate by picking a Korean stereotype about Westerners and offering that as Caption Contest #3. Like this one:

You were on a roll there, Dram Man. #16 was harsh, though.
DDA>True enough, but you gotta admit the class shown in the crafting of the joke.
“Dog’s best friend.”

@30> That’s gotta the best so far. Pithy. I love it.

I think we have a winner with #34’s first part.

(I suppose I’m not surprising anybody. Oh, BTW, I vote for #35.)
Bitch! Get off my back

#46 - Nice!
This way, the seeing eye dog could just whisper directions in his ear.
Sure, I’ll bite..
Today’s Headline
Professor Hwang’s latest stem cell experiment goes awry.
Strange two headed mutant seen wandering the forests of Seoul’s Bukhansan.
I voted for 호주사람’s “Into The Wild 2, starring Pawi.” when it was #35, but then it got changed to #37. Changing the posts around really screws up the comments.
I also like Thirsty’s ““PD Notebook tranlsation error ruins National Piggyback contest.” It doesn’t make much sense, but it’s funny nonetheless.
How’s about you learn to use the <blockquote> HTML tag, like I have done above? Put the <blockquote> tag before the text you want to quote, then put the closing tag </blockquote> at the end of the text you want to quote.
Or you can do it the stupid #17, #46, etc. way.
how did the Koreans end up winning the “dog eating people label”?
it’s giving me a mild erection, without ever having eaten any,
but Chinese and Vietnamese eat it, too.
I wonder why they’re not complaining that Korea is “stealing their culture.”
@57 (at the time of this post) Brendon
Sometimes I make a quote with quotation marks and using the italics tags (I tried as a tag before without effect, but I’ll use <blockquote> now that I know). In this case, it didn’t seem necessary at the time. Many on this thread did the same thing while making a quote comment or “vote” and now the numbers are changed.
It will be really funny after the numbers change again and your reference to the stupid way in #17 and #46 refers to someone else’s posts.
Oops! What we’re you saying about closing the tag? (forgot that it would be counted as a tag when I wrote it).
The way to write out HTML tags without them being parsed as HTML tags is to use the “entities” for less-than and greater-than symbols. Those entities, by the way, are < and > — use them in place of the symbols you want to use.
Seth Gecko, I’ll take that as a compliment.
Dog gone
I vote for #1, the obvious choice.
ROK marines train to defend Dok-do using the latest indigenous weapons system, Jindo Mark I.

Park Jung-ho, 53, finds nothing amiss with his designer “Puccci” bag he bought in Dongdaemun recently. He was assured that fur was all the rage for European hikers this year.
“Look who is coming home for dinner”.
Lol, Brendon has a point. Before, I looked like a guy who liked the Hwang reference made by abcdefg. Now I look like a tool who’s hooting his own horn
Let your sack of life be light, packed only with what you need - a homely home and simple pleasures, one or two friends worth the name, someone to love and to love you, a cat, a dog, enough to eat and enough to wear, and a little more than enough to drink, for thirst is a dangerous thing.
Who originally wrote that?
“Samsung’s advanced materials group has developed a prototype to a new backpack that actually reduces the size and weight of objects put into it. However, the proprietary design may harm organic objects so it is going through trials with medium sized mammals (i.e. dogs) as test subjects.”
“Tester Hur Seong-Hak commented, ‘I think it’s great! Fido here is normally 9 kilos, but I could swear that he only feels 6 kilos in the backpack.’ Asked how the dog feels about being stuffed into the new advanced backpack and Hur fell silent. ‘There are still some bugs we are trying to work out in the system…’”
Makes me wonder how Kevin Kim’s doing…

“That’s the last time I ask that restaurant for a doggie bag.”
After reading #1, I knew it was pointless reading further. The first one is the class of the field. Well done.
