That's a pole vault, not high jump. Enjoy the weekend.

Ha ha! Why didn't he let go? I bet this was some locker-room prank involving super glue.

That totally brightened up by dreary, cubicle Friday. Nothing like a little schadenfreude to perk me up!

Ha, the best thing about that was you think he going to go down on the bar on his crotch, but then it tricks you and he goes the other way, which is actually much more funny. Loved it!

Let go idiot! It reminded me of when I used to help people get up on waterskis for the first time. I always told them, "If you're falling down...LET GO OF THE ROPE"! They didn't always listen and the results were very similar (only on water, not a track).

Neat little pop-up window. Very professional-like.

Ha! Looks like he chickened out and decided not to go for it at the last minute. Very funny.

The worst would be when I was in High School & the high jump pole snapped and impaled the kid under the Chin.
(have you seen Hot Fuzz) yeah it looked like that.

Dan, where do you get all those gifs, and most importantly, how does one make an animated gif? I've tried but have failed miserably, ultimately ending up just clicking back and forth between 2 or 3 pictures as fast as i can...

I find most of them online in various places. I have made some myself though, either using Adobe Image Ready or online freeware that turns short video clips into aniimated GIFs. An animated GIF is a notoriously low quality and old skool format that doesn't get much respect, but sometimes they are just what I need to do the trick.
