  2. Your post, included comments, or your title/comment should include some kind of commentary or remark on the subject of the screen capture. Your title must include at least one word relevant to your post.
  3. You are encouraged to provide a link back to the source of your screen capture in the body of your post.
  4. Current politics and news are allowed, but discouraged. There MUST be some kind of human commentary/reaction included (either by the original poster or you). Just news articles or headlines will be deleted.
  5. Doctored posts/images and AI are allowed, but discouraged. You MUST indicate this in your post (even if you didn't originally know). If an image is found to be fabricated or edited in any way and it is not properly labeled, it will be deleted.

I forget which comedian it was, might have been Jerry Seinfeld, but he was talking about the luge, how it's almost not a sport. "He's pointing his toes, what an athlete." Then he got into the involuntary luge. "No! Let me go! I don't wanna do the luge."

There was also Eddie The Eagle, the not quite a ski jumper who was the first to represent Britain in the sport in Calgary in '88.

I liked his bit about the "fastest man in the world", he'd move his head back a centimeter "second fastest", and then half a centimeter back again "complete nobody"
