For the umpteenth zillion time I've seen Brian "Mr. Splash Bar" Cashman's Flies at the Splash Bar photo and I my attention gets drawn to the lonely figure caught in the background, playing the slot machine and nurseing a drink.

Each time I've seen the picture (which is often )I've wondered, "What do you suppose that guy is thinking about?" "Why doesn't this machine pay off?" "What does he think of the group at the other end of the bar?"

Well, its time to ask others, in the form of a contest. So here is the contest...

The Rules: Create a caption for the thought bubble in the Splash Bar picture below and post that caption here as a reply to this message. Nothing anonymous. Let us know who you are. Captions can be provided between now and midnight PST, Thursday 13 October.

The Judge. All entries will be reviewed and judged solely by Mr. Splash Bar himself, Brian Cashman. Using his own criteria and gut feeling(s), Brian is the lone judge and will select a single winner. Brian will identify that winner sometime Friday, 14 October.

The Prize: As pictured below, the winner will receive a $5, Kennel Club chip.

The Small Print: If I have overlooked some provision, I may make changes to this contest at anytime.

Have fun and make nice!!
