And the entries are:

1) "Members of the North Korean World Cup team, having lost weight in the recent famine, depend upon strings to hold them down when taking the field."

2) "One day while playing at the park, Bill suddenly noticed that all of his friends looked mysteriously alike."

3) "Undeterred by his expulsion from the Academy of Dance and the vicious teasing of his peers, Boyd continued to pursue his dream by founding the 2-D Ballet Company."

4) "After completing his anger management course, Bob felt ready to meet with the replacement team's players."

5) "What do you mean you forgot the air pump! And, no, don't even ask me to inflate them myself."

6) "Soccer coach Javier Ramirez has a half time pep talk with his team after they were totally flattened in the first period."

7) "The real Australian Rules Football"

Have at it!

Janice

Awww I missed this. And I immediately though "flat stanley".

I would have voted for whomever thought like me, but no one did.

Hate to crowd the bandwagon, but I laughed most at #6.

Eek! You're losing your touch. I'm afraid they're all wrong.

I love getting credit (or getting blamed, as the case may be) for captions when I didn't submit any!

Well, it takes a particular kind of talent (doesn't it?) to get all of them wrong.

I did submit one, but it was a bit more mundane than some of my others.

I don't even try to guess. But I am flattered that one of my captions (elsewhere) was attributed to Cindy, and one to MNM

2) hadassahchana
3) sylvanb
4) theworm
5) nicholmere
6) taurusmoon

Thanks again for playing!
