The winning entry was submitted by Bryan J. Gritton. It was:

 After four weeks of rain dancing, Ruben finally returns triumphantly with enough water to make his coffee.

Some of the others (in no particular order):

  1. The smell of coffee was in the air at Roscoe Street. But mysteriously the pot was empty. I'd have to find more fast! (Donna Messick)
  2. "[hysterical laughter] come little rain drops....come percolate in my coffee pot! .. yes! YES!  (Bryan Chang)
  3. Must get medicine to the village...no matter the cost. (Nick Clodfelder)
  4. "Do we need a texture of this?" (Matthew Carter)
  5. "Forget squeegee kids, instant road-side coffee kids are the wave of the future" (Nick Almighty)
  6. Ruben models "The Pot" the latest melee weapon added to Duke Nukem Forever. Interactivity is brought to whole new levels when every household item can be a weapon. (David Hottal)
  7. Due to a lack of recently released game titles, 3D Realms, short of funds, forces it's employees to sell coffee to passing motorists, 24 hours a day...but popularity has dramatically decreased with the average ETA of a single cup being "when it's done". (Comrade Narf ???)
  8. A dazed Ruben wanders aimlessly through the night in search of a 24 hour Starbucks. (Geoffrey Wright)
  9. Ruben wasn't completely broke, he still had a pot to piss in. (Jonathan Humphreys)
  10. DJ Rube:
    "I'm in tha parkin lot/
    With ma coffee pot/
    Don't ask why/
    Or you might get shot.
    Peace out." (Brian Dell)
  11. "Time to make the donuts." (Alex Chee)
  12. In recent news a man identified as Ruben Cabrera was arrested today for wondering about the streets in a desperate attempt to convince female motorists that he is in fact Disney's Aladdin and that if they would join him in his "lamp" that he would grant them three wishes. (Jeff Snow)

In reality, this is Ruben Cabrera doing.. we have no idea what he was doing, but he was outside with a coffee pot.

And then there's this from Yann Richer.  Normally, as a rule, I don't take submissions which are picture edits, but this was too funny.  Had to use it.  ;)
