You came, you saw, you captioned, dear Cheapos. But, alas, there can only be one winner.

First, the office favorites deserve a call-out here.

From happybrowngirl: “Jesus, take the wheel!” - We admit, we’re not sure we grasp the context implied here, but we like the concept. Something about a dog so desperate and at wit’s end that he cries this out hits our funny bone where it counts.

Momo sent us, “I coulda been a star!”, a quote that made one office Cheapo nearly snort his lunchtime soup.

A couple of others that we enjoyed:  “My owner wanted a cat.” (sent by Elizadoodle), “I would do anything for a Rick Steves DVD. Anything.” (from Tanya2), and “Does this outfit make me look fat?”, (by Mama Llama).

The winner—doggy drum roll please—is: “I can’t believe she wore stripes when I specifically told her I was wearing stripes! (sigh) People will do anything for attention.” This terrific take was sent in by withawe, who will be receiving the Rick Steve’s DVD, Italy’s Countryside (2000-2007 edition). Congrats!

A big runner-up award goes to Emily who posted, ”Horizontal stripes + too many chalupas = Chubhuahua”. Don’t worry, Emily, you get a prize too. How does a Milan or Croatia tote bag sound?

***And, be sure to tune in today at 20:00 BST (that’s 3 pm EST) when Tom blogs live at Europe a la Carte!

While strolling down La Rambla in Barcelona, one of our editors walked past this jazzy dog. The little guy was sitting in a bicycle basket and was flanked by colorful flower stands and live bird cages.

Our editor snapped the photo, but it still needs a caption. We know there are a lot of creative Cheapos out there, so add your two cents in the comments section below and show us what you’ve got! The best caption will receive a place in the Cheapo Caption Hall of Fame and a free DVD of Rick Steves Italy’s Countrysides (2000-2007 edition).

Enter early and enter often, Cheapos!
