Wednesday Whimsy: KP Caption Contest

I grabbed this screen cap last night from the pregame story about Jerryd Bayless. This pritchslappily enthusiastic reaction was how General Manager Kevin Pritchard and Assistant General Manager Tom Penn celebrated the draft day trade for Predator. Whatever you do, don't post this link to Jarrett Jack's facebook page.
It's been awhile since we've done a caption contest around here. So, I humbly ask you to provide your best caption to the photograph in the comments. Can't think of a good one? Vote for your favorite by reccing it. Winner gets our undying love.
And please do not write "I just saved a bunch of money on my car insurance." That joke has been done.
By me. Just now.

because directly below here is the winner and based on the number of recs for each, it’s not even close

rec.
after reading this, I can’t possibly come up with a better one.
The guy on the right actually looks like he’s putting up both of this hands to defend himself from the Pritchslap, and KP’s hand actually appears to be moving in for facial contact.

There's a break in the Draft Day action when we get a peek in the war room...
ESPN needed a commercial break, and Danny Ainge is taking forever.
KP has been working his mojo and is really feeling it, so he tells of the time he caught this Mahi Mahi while down in Cabo. The power he weilds on this day is coursing through his veins and he gets caught up in the moment. When the time comes to illustrate the size of the trophy fish he caught, he says…
“Hey, bud… yeah, you, help me out here… I don’t wanna move my left hand right now. Put your hand up. Move it closer to you… a little more… a little more…. there. IT WAS THIS BIG!”

my first thought was
the “this big” as well. Then i noticed the other hand wasn’t his.
Greg Oden, where posters happen.
it took me a couple looks to realize that, too.

I'm thinking it goes like this....
KP: “So Tom, when you’re deciding if you got the deal you want, look at the other GM. Like when I was dealing with Danny Ainge, you look for him to get a goofy look on his face….like this…….and then when he wants to high five you….then, and only then, do you close the deal. And you walk away knowing he’s just been Pritch-slapped. Now you try it. No…you gotta see the really goofy looking face….that way you know they think they got the better of you. THERE….now you got it!”

That reminds me
I was looking for some sushi the other day, walking around, and I saw a place up the street so I went in to grab some whatever and then I saw, hidden away, their healthcode rating: C. At a raw fish restaurant.
Yuck.
You hate to pretty much poop on each plate that is served to not get an A it seems like, so I’m scared of the sushi restaurant that operates with a C.

That's awesome
I can’t remember how, but yeah I saw that the other day or so… I wish the sushi place I went to (but didn’t eat at, of course) was that creative, and maybe if they weren’t just outright HIDING their grade I’d respect them more.
The sneaky restaurant in your link shoulda’ made the font the same as the Health Inspector’s font! Makes it jump out and the ruse is UP once you see it ain’t the same.
That’s funny though. They deserve at least a B for showing initiative.

“Finally… our 19 year plan to profit from the traumatic death of Nicolas Batum’s father from a heart condition, and the subsequent spreading of the rumor that Nicolas Batum might share the same fatal heart condition, has come to fruition. OUR LIFE’S WORK IS COMPLETE. AWKWARD DRAFT DAY HIGH FIVE TIME!”
When I see this picture, I see things coming to fruition, so that’s why I used the word twice. Get off my back.
Plus I imagine KP and Tom Penn being devious and giggly all the time, imagining their offices like a hidden lair within a hollowed out volcano where they plan intricate trades and cap dodges to unleash on unsuspecting GMs. PA offered to do that for them (the offices within a hollowed out volcano thing), but I think KP and Penn enjoy the fantasy of it all more than they would the reality (hollowed out volcanos are expensive to air condition and getting wifi is a bitch, and only Cingulair has service in volcanoes and KP doesn’t wanna switch from Verizon until his contract is up).

AWKWARD DRAFT DAY HIGH FIVE
Is it a good thing that this picture reminds me vaguely of one or more scenes from the Borat movie? I think it’s a good thing. But I can’t be sure.
High five. GREAT SUCCESS!
Q: Is Greg favoring his knee?
Frye: He favors dunking on your head, that's what he favors.
Every draft day
They’re just sitting back and then they realize the camera has cut to them and they go “OOPH, UH, HIGH FIVE TIME AND THEN CLAPPING AND MAYBE PUTTING ON SOME BLAZER HATS. SO NATURAL WE LOOK”.
I love when they flounder under the pressure of live TV and miss their high fives, looking like even nerdier white dudes.
