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.

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.

Looks like they are all having fun, but no way not me.......

Now if there was an elephant in the pool to play with then... maybe.....

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.

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.

Elspode · 07-12-2005, 11:36 PM

You know what? Leah is right.

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

Leah · 07-12-2005, 11:40 PM

I think it was her legs that really stood out.

zippyt · 07-12-2005, 11:45 PM

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.
