Creative Captioning: Ripa's Santa Reaction
By now you know the drill. I post a picture with humor potential and you, dear readers, provide the humor. Today's subject is the sweetheart of morning talk TV, Kelly Ripa, who had an interesting encounter with Santa Claus on Monday at New York's Cartier store:

What, I wonder, has Santa done to prompt such a spirited response from the diminutive dynamo? You tell me. The best of the best will be highlighted on Monday here in the blog and the very tippy top wit will be treated with all deference accorded to an Official Celebritology Captionologist. Remember, keep it clean. Santa doesn't like naughty.

Because Kelly won't take no for an answer, Santa opens a new account at TD Bank.

Yes, Kelly, there is a Santa Claus.

Mark, I can't believe you just plopped me on top of that Salvation Army bucket. Just wait 'til we get home, mister!
Bad Santa. Bad Bad BAD Santa!
Santa, let's talk about those split ends. Fortunately for you, I use Tressant Supreme. Great conditioning, and just a touch of crack cocaine to get me through the day! [Apologies to SNL]

Outraged, Kelly says "That is not what I meant, Santa, when I said I wanted to see the North Pole!".
(Sorry Liz--guess I'm on the naughty list, and if Nick Lachey is Santa, he's alright with that.)
