Coaster Contest!

2/27/2012

I love these coasters, and while they are not a set or even beer coasters they seemed to make a great story together.   I've arranged them to tell my own story!-)

Coaster 1

Picture
The Dutch are just more progressive, especially for 1988.  I not sure any other country, even today, could get a way with scene on a coaster.  The caption literally translated is "You also have two biscuits with your coffee?"  Funny in any context but it takes on a whole new meaning when paired with this illustration.

Coaster 2

Picture
It seems the Dutch take their coffee ownership pretty seriously.  Don't make this mistake the next time you are in Amsterdam.  Literally translated as "Hands off my coffee, pal."


Coaster 3

Picture
Then the ending. Or is it?  Literally translated as "Darling, can I go?  My coffee calls."

This was some sort of a contest. The back of each coaster has a speech balloon and instructions to write the next passage and if your entry is one of the 101 they choose you will receive a silver pendent shaped like a coffee bean with an emerald.  That sounds like a pretty good prize, unfortunately the contest ended 23 years ago

Now it is your turn!  I won't be giving away a silver coffee bean pendant with an emerald but I will be giving away a very nice, heavy duty denim apron with a fancy hop graphic that I designed.

How to enter:

1. In the comments below re-write a caption for ONE of the coasters but make it beer related!  Be sure to indicate which coaster you are commenting on/about.

2. I will choose 5 captions that I like the best on Friday, March 2, 2012 at noon PST.

3. I will then re-post the 5 winning captions in a new post for people to vote on.  This is good time enlist your friend network(s) to do your bidding as the caption that receives the most votes will win the apron! Voting will end March 7th, 2012 at noon PST.

4. Good Luck!
