is that a carrot on the end of a fishing pole?

Woman in the wheelchair was holding a rope, while her 3 friends pulled her uphill. All she needed was a whip, and to scream "faster, you fools!"

Athens

Wtf?

Annalyn, how much do you pay them?

This blows me away - and needs to be shown on FOX news! These are true friends. Yes, there are a few good folks left in this world.

that looks awkward more than anything, and perhaps attention seeking. A good act? I guess. I think they could just push, or take a different route. That picture is kinda creepy... Can't put my finger on it

Luke..... you are envious of someone in a wheelchair? How neglected have you been in the past year?

Wish I had friends like that!

Annalyn would be the first to tell you that she has joyful, abundant life filled with purpose and peace because she knows Jesus Christ, the Lord. If you would like to know more:
carseasaw@alltel.net to get her a message

What is going on? Who is annalyn? Why are there evangelists commenting on this photo? I am very confused!

I really hope you people aren't for real. If you are, RUN AWAY!! Your virgin eyes will begin bleeding if you look at this site for too long!

I have a love/have relationship with athens. People like you, "SK," are the reason for that. I'm a Christian but I don't judge people for the poor decisions they make. I make them myself. And I see/hear of plenty of things that go on around campus and my eyes are "bleeding." No one quoted versus from the bible, so grow up and let it roll off your back. Why would you tear people down for not believing in the same things you do?

oops... *are not*

SK said...

I wasn't tearing down anyone. I was actually making a joke about how awful Athens can be at times.

I'm of the opinion that God has a sense of humor. Why else would he make the platypus? Why don't YOU get off your high horse and grow a sense of humor? Life shouldn't be taken too seriously.

Aww, this is a GREAT photo! I just happen to know every person in this photo & I think they are pretty cool myself. Also, I know they do this kind of stuff for fun all the time, so you just might see them around Athens again sometime.

Luke said...

I'm not bashing this at all, but why don't they just push her, and trade off? This looks a little ridiculous

Let's think about this.
There's only tension in the rope if it is being pulled. If instead the rope were pushed, the handicapped soul would roll down the hill.

10/16/2008, 02:31 AM

Luke said...

Um...

Do you realize that you can't push a rope?
Do you realize I meant that they could get BEHIND her and push?
I can't believe that required explaining!

10/16/2008, 10:17 PM

SK said...

I was hoping someone else would point that out, since I didn't want to be accused of putting down our little physicist for believing in something different from me.

10/17/2008, 11:56 AM

Anon said...

I think they're probably just doing this to have a little fun....don't ya think? I don't think they're taking this "too seriously."

I can't wait for the flat-earth rebuttal!!!!

why's everybody makin such a fuss over this danged handicapp? she's just one of them danged free-loaders, tryin to find some cheap form of transportation.. as if parking in the front of every single danged super walmart ain't good enough for her

10/24/2008, 6:17 PM

Luke said...

I was just making a fuss over the 'physicist' who thinks you can push a rope, and you can only push along with gravity, rather than against it.

I have never seen these folks before, there is just something creepy about this. I don't trust it

10/25/2008, 4:27 PM

Stacie said...

That Luke sure is commenting a lot. He must be the guy in the picture!

10/25/2008, 4:31 PM

physicist25sasafras said...

Luke, when you start teaching physics and astronomy with me at the University of Georgia, maybe I'll listen to your theories about the tension in the rope.

Luke said...

"Let's think about this.
There's only tension in the rope if it is being pulled. If instead the rope were pushed, the handicapped soul would roll down the hill."

You get behind the person in the chair and push them FORWARD! Like, Up the hill!
Maybe you should start learning about comprehending information from a sentence, before you go molding young minds!

Is not not obvious that when I say push the person, I mean that they should get BEHIND the girl, and push her up the hill, rather than stand in front of her, 'push' a rope, and watch her roll down the hill backwards naturally from gravity???
WTF!?!?!?!?!
How is this even debatable?

10/26/2008, 11:01 PM

tito said...

well yall are obviously debating it. wouldn't that make it debatable?

10/27/2008, 10:46 PM

can i be the mediator of this debate?

SK said...

Sorry, but I'd rather have Queen Latifah!

10/28/2008, 12:13 AM

Luke said...

Please do!
Start with a question like this
Can a person be pushed in an upwards direction, and travel uphill?

this is ridiculous! I need a hobby too, apparently! haha

10/29/2008, 12:04 PM

Queen L said...

Let the debate begin! ehst does the physicist have to say?

11/02/2008, 10:49 PM

This is great! Those Athens hills are toughies at times ;)

11/16/2008, 9:20 PM

physicist25sasafras said...

Well Luke, you know what they say..
Those who can't, teach.

At least I'm not teaching gym.
