Talking Photo Bingo (with Captions)

You know the drill. This is Jorge in a striped shirt and his tongue out.

Your turn. Post a photo with a striped shirt, a tongue out, a hand in the background...

And for added fun, the captions:

"Hey there PGN, this process is making me loco"

(just realized I titled it BINGO..I meant UNO. Y'all knew that, right?)
