Hooniverse Classic Caption – The 1977 Dodge Warlock Pickup Edition
The Christmas Holiday has passed and I hope everything was joyful where you were, but it is now time once again for the Hooniverse Classic Caption Contest, and since the New Year is almost upon us, I thought I would present an image that evokes warmth and vitality, but first let’s review how this game works; I find images from all around the web that the car companies used in their brochures or advertisements. 
It is your job to come up with some humorous comment that fits the image, to which I award the a prize. This week, it’s an Allison Transmissions Baseball Cap, and one will go out to you if you come up with a great caption.
Last week, we had an image of a handsome German Couple, and this was by far the largest number of entries since I 
started this feature. While many of the captions were humorous or inspiring, there were a couple that still fell into the typical internet meme. The image of Actor Jonathan Goldsmith, who plays “The Most Interesting Man in the World” in the Dos Equis Beer commercials has become one of those memes, and Feds_II used the image with the following caption: “My Mercedes doesn’t always break down. But when it does, I tow it home using two small dogs.”
That was almost the winner, but it was Tomsk who had this winning line: “Frau Schiller: Meine Liebe, are you still mad at me for thinking you said “Dachshund engine swap” instead of “Datsun engine swap?”
Herr Schiller: *silence* Bravo Tomsk. Email me as soon as you can on where to send your prize.
It’s now time to take a look at this weeks illustration. It is a advertising image for the 1977 Dodge Warlock Pickup, with a couple of “dudes” in the truck trying to talk to a couple of “chicks” on their bikes. It doesn’t look like the girls are in any way interested in the guys based on their facial expressions, but I may wrong about this. Try and keep the comments in good taste… (You can click here to see the full size image)
You have the next five days to come up with a great caption. The editors will then decide if any of the captions are clean enough to use, and to dream of what summer will be like… (Oh please ignore that last remark…) The winner will receive the Allison Baseball Cap, so get to work on your best pickup lines.

After the girls pulled over and the guys rolled down their windows you could hear all of them say simultaneously:
Wow, look at those headlights!
Hey ladies, if you think you the wood on this bed is impressive, wait until you see my wood in your bed! *wink*
"Pardon me, but do either of you gals have any hair gel? This humidity is positively wreaking havoc with my boyfriend's perm…!"
Isn't this just the cutest little truck? It's just the right size to haul around our motorcycles. I love your helmets, where did you find them?
We may be driving a Warlock but we only want to nibble your flesh!
/you may have to know something about warlocks to get this one….
C'mon girls, join us! There's plenty of room in the bed.
Hey Girls, don't you know that you are supposed to truck your bike to Daytona ?
Because you never know what you want to put in the box.

Hi there! We've got a lot in common. We ride bikes, you ride bikes. Your helmet doesn't fit on your head, my helmet doesn't fit in my pants. Let me give you a tour of my Warlock.
"Want to see my magic wand?"
"Ladies, the helmets and sunglasses are a start, but you really need to wear All the Gear All The Time, because you never know when you might encounter a situation that calls for it. Did I mention I'm wearing a condom?"
Nice shoes…
"Let's ditch these losers, Linda – with a truck like that, you know they gotta be hung like hamsters."
That's what I love about these high school girls, man. I get older, they stay the same age.
Hooniverse Presents: Pick-up truck pick-up lines!
(yeah, yeah, we're supposed to caption the picture, not the thread…)
"Hey baby, I'm trying out some pickup lines in a pickup truck! I'm trying to pick you up, and I'm inside a pickup truck, and if you come along, then I've picked you up in a pickup truck with my pickup lin…hey where are you going! Come back!!"
Charles don't get excited with the gay image.
//dykes on spaghetti western bikes do tingle my thoughts a little though.
"Excuse me, ladies. Can you tell us how to get to turgid, I mean, Sturgis from here?"

Both girls instantly thought, "Boy, that John Player Special Europa has really let himself go!"
"Hey, good looking, I'll be back to pick you up later!"
Broadcast your voice on any FM radio!!!
"Girls, it's really unsafe to ride in cutoff shorts like that. Why don't you ride with us?"
"Um, guys – why does your front license plate say 'Dodge' on it when it already says 'Dodge' on the hood? Is that so you don't forget what kind of truck that is?"
Hank and Cletus were soon to learn what the Dykes On Bykes really meant by "riding leathers"…
You meet the nicest people on a Honda
"you girls ever been with a couple of real Warlocks before?"
Hey baby. See that nice motif above the wheel wells? That decal's got some texture. I call it the "tramp stamp". Once you and I are makin' bacon up against the fender of my new Warlock, you'll know why.
"Would you girls like to see how the tie-downs in the bed work?"
"Don't get your hopes up, creep. We're just waiting here for The Dude!"

" Scuse me lil ladies but would yall have some of that ther grey poop on ? "
"Why the truck, you say? Well, after we bet Big Enos and Little Enos that we could get their bikes to Sturgis in less than 24 hours, me an' Snowman here thought we should streamline the operation."

When the Warlock's magic wasn't doing the trick, Jim Bob resorted to the classic, "Does this rag smell like chloroform to you?"
Would you believe our windowless van is in the shop?
Race you to the VD Clinic!
