pic1) Arnold and Ken after a belly stuffing lunch, (always fatten up the prey before the kill!) discuss a possible restoration project.
pic2) Arnold and Ken having one last look at the Top and quality of construction out in the sunlight. If we work up a sweat, we can just jump in the pool and cool off...lol
pic3) SCREW THIS! Cool this hot piece of crap off instead... SPLASHHHHH.. This German factory Plywood Bass was late to its own Funeral so we gave it a Burial at Sea instead.. Bon Voyage....
pic4) Arnold having second thoughts.. "Hey, I could have made a CD case out of that".. As Arnold ponders over his options.. His mind never sleeps...As Ken drives away laughing while Arnold's Dreams have been crushed...
Name each pic. The winner of each caption gets a free repair evaluation by 'Schnitzer, Smith and Wesson'..!

| | | - "What, you want me to eat that too?
- Carefully the ancient luthiers move the kill into the proper postition...
- Precisely 1/10th of a second after release Arnold panics as he realizes his selection error and stares on in horror as Ken's prized Dodd body flies into the drink.
- A moment of quiet reflection as Arnold shakes off an afternoon of heavy drinking and wonders if he sent the insurance premium in. As he stares on in lament he further muses to conjure up a story that the adjuster will believe. "You mean you just came home and there it was, floating in a pool in upstate NY in the fall. And you have no idea how it got there? You must be daft. Nobody has a pool in upstate NY."

#2 Arnold: "Are you sure there are lobsters to catch in this pool?"
#3 Ken: "When the big hand is on the 12, and the little hand on the 3, ITS BASS THROWING TIME!!!!"
#4 Ken wonders in amazement as to why his Viking Midget Coffin won't burn, or sink.

Why didn't it sink? Well, because we took off the MPM Cocobolo TP!
Hey Mike, if you don't post captions to the 4 pics, you might miss out on the winning prize. After all, "you can't win it if you ain't in it"! |
