An IotD tradition from the annual Atlanta Redneck Games.

Original 2001

2002

2004

the rain just adds to the fun at a mud fest.

what's sticking out of his lefthand pocket? A Kleenex? A marshmallow peep? Too late for that.

And can just anyone enter these esteemed games or only rednecks? I've mastered a rather breath-taking belly flop myself. After all the pasta salad and grilled cheese, I'm in top form. :elkgrin:

It's never too late for a marshmallow peep! (I think it's just his pocket turned inside out.)

Looks like a beer belly is a pre-req.

All I can think of is "Oh, those poor cameras!"

Beautiful form, I must say.

And proof that Atlanta is the most progressive town of the South.

Sun tan lotion? :smack:

Looks like they are all having fun, but no way not me....... :headshake
Now if there was an elephant in the pool to play with then... maybe..... :thumb:

Compare his form to the previous 3 (years) white people.
Those Blacks are just natural athletes, I tells ya.
They'll be taking home all the redneck trophys too. :lol:

Actually if you look at the original 2001 photo, that lady doing the belly flop looks a little like the lady on the left hand side (in green) of this photo. :mg:

You know what? Leah is right.

So, how come don't they have a platform to jump from?

:D I think it was her legs that really stood out. :eyebrow:

For some reason that pic reminds me of a Steve martin skit on SNL , he was in a whith suit , and got some body to bet him $20 he wouldn't jump in a septic pond , he did , and then he made them pay him $100 to go away !!!!!

I beleve it has been said that most any thing will wash off , so HELL YEAH i would DO it !!! CANON BALL !!!!!!

Call that mud? Try the Glastonbury festival I was at a couple of weeks ago. Over a months worth of rain in 8 HOURS. Now there was some mud...

Westland, Michigan gets everyone into the act. :)
200 tons of dirt and 20,000 gallons of water.
