Week 2 of 13 | Contest 2
|
| Photo Info: |
This is my bro. Tim about 5 miles into our obligatory approach hike to the Lower Black Box on Saturday. This was his first hike in about 3 years and we'll just say he's not in prime hiking condition. "I'm never going again..." :) He's got a water bottle in his left hand and a spray bottle in his right. You can see Jeff, Shelley, and Holly in the background. |

I can't believe I got beat by my DAD. :) J/K

i thought you said your dad had been beating you for years... oh, wait...that was something else. :)

As far as Power Rankings go, I'm the only one NOT getting beat by Lane's dad. I've got to revel in this top spot while it still lasts, ahhhhhhhh (sound of reveling)

There once was a Pollock named Tim
Whose future appeared very grim
With the sweat and the heat
And his poor aching feet
And the other kids laughing at him.

From "The Desert Hiker's Handbook", page 23: If wringing out someone in your party's shirt yields more water than they have in their backpack...they may be suffering from heat exhaustion.

Tim: "Lane--I don't feel so good, and my water's all gone. I think I might need a doctor."
Lane: "Just a sec. Just a sec. This is gonna make a great POTW."
Tim: "I can't feel my legs anymore."
Lane: "Just don't move--I've got the shot framed perfectly...Dammit, Tim! Quit swaying! You're ruining my picture!"

Lane: "Uhh, Tim, we were just kidding about having a wet t-shirt contest. And it's usually just for girls, anyway."
Tim: "Dammit!"

That woudln't be all too exciting since it is just Shelley and Holly. If maybee Michelle and Cat were there it would be a whole different story. :)

Double bonus points for haikus with swear words!

Amen!

i can't believe this caption is getting judged so harshly--it's a haiku, AND it openly condemns an entire line of snack cakes. this is art, people! :)
(Michelle - Jul 20, 2005 02:53:19 PM)
|
|
I guess when you say "Little Debbie" people feel the nostalgia of a summer picnic with the family complete with snack cakes, KFC, etc. Damning her would be like unto tossing a puppy in front of an oncoming bus or something. :)
(Lane - Jul 20, 2005 03:09:32 PM)
|
|
nostalgia nothing, lane... now, if we were condemning, say, twinkie the kid or dolly madison and her delicious raspberry zingers, that would be one thing. but little debbie? no fond memories there. :)

Impressive... You guys made me have to go to the net and read up on what a hiku was. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haiku
(David - Jul 21, 2005 03:20:36 PM)

I knew wahat a haiku was but I've never heard of a hiku before...
(Brian - Jul 21, 2005 04:38:45 PM)

i know the meaning of 'what', but i don't know the meaning of 'wahat'. =)

this has nothing to do with this caption...but...lane, when are you going to reveal the new penalty/reward system for stingy/generous voters?

Tim was too hammered from the brutal hike in the 100+ degree temps. to notice the snake that had crawled up his shirt.

Lane "Hey Tim, you gotta come on just one more hike after this. Upper Falls past Bridalveil is a great hike, after getting through the fence, everything else is cake!"

On the next episode of "Where Are They Now?": Currently a troubled youth counselor for Anasazi, you knew him better as Ricky on the 80's classic "Better Off Dead".

"I'm really sorry I blew up your mom, Ricky."
What a classic.

Apparantly when Lane said "Lower Black Box" Tim wasn't picturing the middle of the desert.
