See! I told you the Gulf oil spill wouldn't ruin our fun!

We're up to our necks in this problem!

These beachgoers are taking the phrase "face an obstacle headfirst" way too literally.

Don't worry Juanita, the tide's going out, not in! _{(I am feeling a tad claustrophobic though)}

Pinch me!

didn't billy say he would come and dig us out again before the tide came back in? BILLY!!! *^$&

Why is Mum waving at us?

I told you we should have bought surf boards, not buckets & spades...

"Aw, that's not funny. If Kris is still breaking-up that old cast iron bath, then the least he could do for us is to empty the pigging thing first!"

Our big sister sure was happy to play in the sand with us. I hope she's not still mad about posting her diary on facebook.

Sis, we're ready to get out now. Sis....SIS!

Before this thing goes down, I just wanted to let you know I hate you. I hate you and your bright ideas so very, very much.

Some of the wave energy ideas are as bad as some guest ideas on how to plug the leak.

When I say now hold your breath!

It's high tide I get out of here!

I wish we had bodies, then we wouldn't have to depend on the tides and currents.

Wave!

I can't!

Wave!

I can't!

Reuters: Researchers today discovered a possible "missing link" in mankind's genetic legacy. Small humanoids, otherwise fully formed, but no brains whatsoever, apparently have crawled out of the surf and dug themselves into the sand for protection against predators. Researchers note the lack of gills, and believe this is proof positive that they are possibly the ubiquitous 'missing link'. They say that their DNA is enough like humans to be 99% sure they could have been a remote ancestor of ours. Enthusiasts have nicknamed them the "missing knowitall tweenagers', based on their instinctive shopping skills and high frequency squealing sounds.

Well, at least we can rid of those nasty seagulls, I smell like lutefisk!

UFF-DUH!

The procedure does have a few flaws to work out but my lawyer assures me that if all we do is supply the bucket and shovel to family members, we won't be held responsible like Kevorkian.

Quite apart from humor (though I don't mind some humor), I would like to see a follow-up on what happened. The water would submerge these kids for several seconds, but if they noticed it coming, a deep breath beforehand and closing the eyes would probably succeed in protecting them. The outwash would have higher velocity than the inwash.

You old softie..
What happened next..
The guy closed Photoshop and went to have his dinner.

If it is a genuine pic then it's probably just foreshortened...one of those optical delusions. _{(That's an intentional Malapropism, for those who think I mag be an iggorant kat)}

You're probably right. But it is conceivable that a "rogue wave" or tsunami could produce a sudden unanticipated event like this. With alert response, the kids might be able to ride it out. In the event that this was a real rather than staged picture, I would still remain curious about the outcome.

Now this is a shot that requires the "Big Bertha". And you get a Mulligan.

Two more future "Heads of state" eliminated by a "wave" of bad press.

The latest in autoerotic experimentation.

"It's that lucky seventh wave again"

I don't think we're in Kansas anymore, Dorothy!

Pay up. I told you my side would come in faster.
