Caption Contest 92: BAWHOOM!

Come up with the best replacement dialog for this random comics panel (courtesy of the spectacular Glenn3's "Say What? Pictures") and you’ll win your choice of either any item you like or any portrait to be included in HeroMachine 3′s final release, or a custom black and white “Sketch of the Day” style illustration!

All entries must be left as a comment (or comments) to this post. Keep ‘em clean (appropriate for a late-night broadcast TV show), but most importantly, keep ‘em funny!

No limit on the number of submissions beyond normal self-editing (i.e. don’t spam crappy entries hoping to get lucky), so good luck to everyone. Contest closes next Monday.

Caption Contest 85 Prize

With my new rules about "Sketch of the Day" style prizes, Bael hasn't had a chance to approve of his prize for winning Caption Contest 85, so I hope he likes it. He requested a "Fairy in a butterfly collection" style sketch, and here's what I've come up with:
