Under Black Belly of Cloud in the Rain

Congratulations to Mr. Joseph R. Halbert for correctly naming "The Story" by Brandi Carlile as the Monday Song of the Day. To preserve my masculinity, but perhaps not my (perceived) insider status, I first heard the song on the GM commercial playing non-stop during the Olympics and not during Grey's Anatomy.

In an event that has been sorely missed by readers young and old, the Running Down a Dream Caption Contest returns today with the fury of a thousand suns, or at least 15 Chinese female gymnasts.
My submission: "After being notified that slingshot had again not received approval as an officially sanctioned Olympic sport, a member of the potential Bolivian squad takes a potshot at the International Olympic Committee headquarters."

As always, place your submissions in the comments section, and may the best man/woman/child win. The Caption Contest runs through Sunday, August 24th.

*Actual Caption: An anti-government demonstrator uses a slingshot during a strike at the Che Guevara street in the popular quarter "Plan 3000" in Santa Cruz, August 19, 2008. Provinces of Santa Cruz, Beni, Pando, Tarija and Chuquisaca called for general strikes demanding autonomy from the central government of President Evo Morales and a greater cut of the country's booming energy revenues.
