      Celebrating Ben Finegold style

      Ben Finegold, Lubbock, SPICE, SPICE Cup, Texas Tech, TTU


      After Ben got his final norm and GM title, we had an impromptu celebration party at my home for Ben and some of his SPICE Cup B group colleagues. Of course Ben did not want to miss out the Texas Tech vs. University of Houston football game.

      Can you create a clever caption for Ben from the picture above?

        Hammer: Look at the size of that finger!
        Eugene: I have seen bigger!
        Ben: he he.

        Brazilian GM: Ben would be popular in Brazil with that huge finger of his.

        Ben: lets go to Brazil!
