Put on Those Thinkin' Caps, Folks!

Unusual Sports Collage

All right, folks, I’ve got a pop quiz for you (sounds of “Awww, gee, do we hafta?”): What do all these images have in common? (And yes, you have to.)

Hmm, let’s see now (you can click on the image for a larger view); clockwise from the upper left we have:

  • Fishing
  • Throwing
  • Boat racing
  • Snowmobiling
  • Bull fighting
  • Ski jumping

Yes, you in the back with your hand raised… Hey, congratulations, you got it in one! Yep, they’re all activities that have to do with… sports!

OK, by now you’re probably saying to yourself, “So what does that have to do with the price of garbanzo beans in Gondwanaland?” Well… nothing, really. (But you may, er, want to seek help for that talking to yourself thing. It’s really distracting.)

Nope, it’s just my way of announcing the next topic for our upcoming What I Learned From… group writing project (sound of drumroll):

The World of Sports

So, tell your friends; tell your neighbors – what the heck; tell your friends’ neighbors! And if you don’t want to be left out, then whatever you do, make sure y’all drop by on Monday, December 3th for the next project kick off.

Hey folks, let’s see if we can increase the number of entries this time; we set a new record last time with 23! Wanna help me make it to 30?

Better get out those thinking caps!

    This is most definitely going to be a challenge…

    Whew, for a minute there I thought I was going to have to do “What I Learned from Photoshop”!

    Joanna: Why is that? Dont’ tell me you’re the “I once saw people playing sports” type? Hmmm? :-D

    Mike: Naw, these are just some of the sports I’d like to REALLY see!

    Robert, you might just have hit the nail on the head… but you’ll have to wait for my entry to find out :-)
