Lurker In The Darkness

The always-funny Wil Wheaton posted a fantastic picture this morning – it’s of US President Bush giving a speech, while US Vice President Cheney literally lurks in the shadows.

Now there have been some excellent suggestions for a caption for this, including the following (my personal favourites)..


“Ahhh. Back on the grassy knoll. After all this time. Feels good.”

“You talkin’ to me? You talkin’ to me? You talkin’ to me? Then who the hell else are you talking… you talking to me? Well I’m the only one here. Who the fuck do you think you’re talking to? Oh yeah? OK.”

“What art thou that usurp’st this time of night,
Together with that fair and warlike form
In which the majesty of buried Cheney
Did sometimes march? by heaven I charge thee, speak!”

I personally would not actually caption this at all. I’d just play the Star Wars Imperial March as a background score, and let the scene ride out on it’s own merits.
