A COLLECTION
OF CAPTIONS TAKEN FROM THE SPECTRUM HEADQUARTERS FORUM
COMPILED FOR
THE 2012 CHRISTMAS CHALLENGE
|
The following montages have been created throughout the
years as illustrations to the Spectrum Headquarters pages for the
Christmas Challenge. They
also were used as subject for ‘Captions Games’ during the Christmas
season, on the Spectrum Headquarters Forum, where forum members were
invited to participate in writing what captions these images inspired in
them, all in the spirit of fun.
You are now able to enjoy all of these captions,
reunited for you on this page, along with new captions that some of our Forum
members came up with just before posting.
We wish to thank everyone for their contributions
throughout the years!

MMK, December 24,
2008

The Reindeer (Society, Parliament, Council and Agency)
had finally caught up with Santa - for making the reindeer fly long distances at
such speed (therefore he manages to deliver all the presents in one night)

crash - SPJ vs Rudolph...

Director: "Hold on, hold on...the Angels
were supposed to tell the sheperds to look for Jesus,
not pull the sleigh! What happened to the reindeer? Don't tell me we got this
the wrong way round..." *realisation dawns* "...oh, boy..."

Two green rings..."
Hazel Köhler,

At first the Angels thought Santa had enjoyed a bit too
much of Mrs. Claus' baked bean casserole but then they saw the "smoke rings"
were green...

Hark, the incensed Angels sing:
Why’ve we got to pull this thing?
Don’t you know, it wasn’t us
Scared the reindeers and caused a fuss.
Captain Scarlet is the one
Who frightened them with his big gun;
Now we’re flying double speed
To help in Santa’s hour of need.
Hark! the incensed Angels sing:
Why’ve we got to pull this thing?

"Yes, I know you told me to requisition the first
civilian craft I'll find to return to Cloudbase, Colonel, but I doubt Father Christmas'll will be happy if I steal his vehicle... He's
