Creative Captioning: Quick Draw McGraw

Creative Captioning, once banished to the land of canceled blog features, is back. At least for today. Why? Because we've finally got a picture worthy of our wit. You have below a celebrity, a fragrance, an image and one seriously weird pose. Do your best (or your worst).
There has to be a certain amount of ego that goes along with naming a fragrance after one's self. Sure, at the most basic level, this is all marketing -- celebrity fragrances (for some unknown reason) are guaranteed sellers at Wal-Mart -- and chemical conglomerates make big bucks by branding their concoctions with soft focus images of Britney Spears and J.Lo. But, naming that fragrance "McGraw by Tim McGraw" screams "TIM MCGRAW TIM MCGRAW TIM MCGRAW!!!" You see my point, I think. Why clutter up one's stink with the stank of extraneous words like "perfume" or "cologne" or "stud" or "glam cowboy" or "brokeback" or any of the other myriad descriptors that could have been used to sell this scent?
In any case, we're thankful to Tim McGraw for clowning (at least we hope he's clowning) and allowing us to slowly step away from yesterday's Great Miley Cyrus Debate. The best caption(s) will be elevated to a position of prominence here in the blog. Now go forth and caption...

Upon first reading the title, I thought it was in reference to Dr. PHIL McGraw jumping in to the Miley Cyrus photos fray a la Britney's breakdown.
So imagine my horror when I began reading about a new perfume! I didn't realize it was about TIM McGraw until the middle of the second paragraph.
I think I need to go lay down until I'm over the disturbing mental images that Dr. Phil and a "celebrity fragrance" just conjured up!

McGraw cologne: a little goes a long way (towards making you look like a jacka$$).
Posted by: still | April 30, 2008 1:42 PM
Methinks, both Joe Cocker and Tom Jones have covered "You Can Leave Your Hat On." Both versions (the Tom Jones version was used in the Full Monty)are much better known and liked than Randy Newman's original. During his live performances, Randy Newman often berates himself for performing the original in a lower key.
Randy Newman is one of the very few singer-songwriters from the late 20th century whose work will endure.
