The Balloon-Man Caption Contest

This is our world-famous 267th Caption Contest!

Here’s the pic:

About the pic: Sam Smith, 30, is an English singer and song-writer who first identified himself as “gay,” then in September 2019, announced himself a
“non-binary” and changed his gender pronouns to they/them, stating, “After a lifetime of being at war with my gender I’ve decided to embrace myself for who I am, inside and out,” whatever that means. On Feb. 12, 2023, Smith appeared at the 2023 Brit Awards in an inflatable latex balloon body suit.

You know the drill:

  • Enter the contest by submitting your caption as a comment on this thread (scroll down until you see the “LEAVE A REPLY” box).
  • Body and Soul‘s writers will vote for the winner.
  • Any captions proffered by our writers, no matter how brilliant (ha ha), will not be considered. :(

This contest will be closed at the end of Tuesday, March 7, 2023.

Sadly, the more appropriate pronoun for Sam Smith is “it,” as attested to by his choice of the clownish balloon outfit.
