The photo below appeared recently in the Los Angeles Times newspaper. It was taken on a streetcorner in L.A.



CAPTION-WRITING CONTEST!


Write a caption for this photo. It can be serious, earnest, wry, witty, or silly. Two weeks from today, a panel of three Loungers (me, Matt Deckard, and Senator Jack) will choose the winning caption.


If the winning caption writer is a fella, he will receive an outstanding 1940s necktie in mint condition.

If the winner is a gal, she will receive a genuine 1939 N.Y. World's Fair enamelled brooch in excellent condition.




Here is the photo. Write and win!

*By the way, no intention of racism is implied here. Merely a commentary on quality of dress. I should know. I was once referred to by someone as looking like "the kind of guy who sells cigarettes to kids."

He thought how she had always looked good when she was young, even after she had been framed. She never let the fact that she didn't have Matt stop her, even as he tormented her to make her feel incomplete. It was for her that he played the game.

"Man, I dunno who that guy is, but he looks kinda like the jack of clubs..."

Woman to the card player opposite this sap: "Hey kid, the guy has aces over eights. Fold while you still can."
Man to woman: They never listen. That's how this shark makes a living."

Man on the wall - That's funny, I used to date that dame on the six of hearts...

 

[Quigley Brown]

Unaware of the voguing pair behind him, Randall just couldn't concentrate on his game today because of a Madonna tune that had somehow become stuck in his head.

"Two brothers - divided only by their love for one country, one woman, one card game."

*I personally like Starius'. I about died at work laughing.

[Mr. Lucky]

Joyfully basking in the odor of your own Brylcream soaked noggin while wearing Bogie's dinner jacket from "Casablanca" - $75.00

Strking a pretentious Madonna inspired "Vogue" pose with an antique frame stolen from the Louvre - $1000

Being a REAL person and drawing to an inside straight - PRICELESS!

MasterCard - the card for those that can tell the difference.

You gotta know when to hold 'em, know when to fold 'em. It's all a frame of mind.

Man in undershirt: "I don't believe I lost my shirt to a couple of photos."
Photo of woman: "That's because I see your cards over your shoulder."
Photo of man: "And I can see your cards in the reflection above you."

Sincerely,
The Wolf

Drawing a pair to a kicker - now, that's art.
