Polandian caption competition #1 (closed)
***COMPETITION CLOSED***
I’ve added what I judged to be the best captions suggested by readers for each picture. The judge’s decision is final and cannot, under any circumstances, by influenced by envelopes full of cash left in the first cubicle in the Men’s room at Krakow station.
Here are some photographs I found floating around on Polish news sites this week. I have no idea what or who most of them are about, so I’ve made up my own captions. Our talented and remarkably attractive readers can undoubtedly do better.
1
Nuclear power plants – you’re doing it wrong
or
The EU presents photographic evidence in the case of Jacek P, a Polish farmer accused of fraudulent use of funds. “Mr. P, received the funds to invest in better machinery for his farm. Instead he built a power station and started selling electricity to Ukraine.” (Scatts)
* * *
2
Polish police close in on suspected jaywalker
or
Best. S&M Party. Ever. (PMK)
* * *
3
Ancient endangered species visits bison
or
This one’s got a very cute arse, don’t you think? (Scatts, again)
* * *
4
Best of friends I assume
or
Radek, will you translate my website into English? My assistant did it and now those guys at Polandian are laughing at it. (Bartek)
* * *
5
When vodka goggles wear off
or
Maybe she’s born with it. Maybe it’s Maybelline. (PMK, again)

3rd – that was so icy, Island… and they say Poles are cold!
Hilarious!!! Thank you so much, Island! :-)
I like your caption for no. 3. best, so here comes another one for the same picture: “So the Białowieża-farmers are against the decision? How do we now get to the city hall?”
One for no. 5 too: “I tried to practise saying ‘W Szczebrzeszynie chrząszcz brzmi w trzcinie´.”
they are better, Island

Very Funny!!
Heres my attempt:-{
2. Poles will go to some lenghts to secure a new tyre for a Fiat maluch.
5. Did you just call me ginger?
I loved the one with the endangered species!
Taking #4 into consideration, I’m not interested in politics much, but I hope that the men at right will become an official presidential candidate of its party and not the one at left. He’s probably the only one in the mainstream of Polish politics that can speak English really well:

Maybe he would be the first president who we wouldn’t be ashamed of. No electricians (Walesa), no “painkiller overuse” in Kharkov (Kwasniewski), no stutter (Kaczynski). Since the president has no political power in Poland (except the power of veto), he should make a good impression at least.
Interesting. Have you read the last paragraph of my column in this month’s Krakow Post? This is exactly my prediction:
http://www.krakowpost.com/article/1914
1/ The EU presents photographic evidence in the case of Jacek P, a Polish farmer accused of fraudulent use of funds. “Mr. P, received the funds to invest in better machinery for his farm. Instead he built a power station and started selling electricity to Ukraine.”
2/ [Man in the front looking down the manhole] “It’s okay Mr Kaczynski, you can come out now.”
3/ [The Prince] “This one’s got a very cute arse, don’t you think?”
4/ [guy on left] “Did you see that post on Polandian the other day?” [Sikorski] “Yeah, hilarious! You know, I keep bumping into one of their writers in restaurants. Strange guy.”
5/ [is a clip from a Polish TV advert] “Feeling down? Take MAGICPILL!!!”
1/ How much horsepower will we need in the future?
2/ One peaceful day in Poland
3/ Bison, the driving force of Poland’s economy
4/ The policy of love: Tusk ordered them to love so they love each other.
5/ Night of the Living Dead: Live in Poland
1. Once we hook you up to the nuke, you’ll go like lightening, you’ll see
2. “Right. After you lot have secured the perimeter with the tyre, I’ll do a pole dance.” (extra credit for pun!)
3. “Goodness, if he eats this much snow, just think! We could clear out all the drifts in Krakow in no time if we get enough herds!!”
4. “Did you hear that Prince Charles is bringing 50 herds of buffalo to Krakow?”
5. “If only I could find my Chapstick. I bet YOU took it, DIDN’T YOU. YOU DID IT. YOU!!”
1. Horse-power plant.
2. Tyre-shunting crew in plain clothes.

Some very amusing suggestions here. Brilliant!
Come the end of the week I’ll pick the ones I like best and incorporate them into the post. How’s that for the dizzying heights of fame!
I’m not too good at these, but here goes:
1) A Polish farmer getting ready to harvest his bumper crop of pet rocks.

3) The Prince and media watch as Camilla plays in the snow.
4) “You break my heart; I break your legs.”
