    Ooh, that’s hard! Contestant #2 is perfectly representing the pain and agony of the Axis of Evil, while Contestant #3 successfully demonstrates that we can kind of be in bed even when we’re at boot camp! Is Contestant #4 collapsing or looking for a contact lens? I’m feeling lucky that my various levels of collapse have not yet been caught on film! Just give me time…

    Does #4 end with a trip to the emergency room? If not, then I vote for #2.

    #4 Peter

  4. Kerri says:

    IT’S A CLOSE CALL BUT DEFINATELY THE MYSTERIOUS FELLOW #4! THOSE ARE NICE SHOES NEXT TO HIS HEAD : )!

  5. Shari says:

    I do like the style of #4. Peter looks like Rocky at the end of the first movie. He’s struggling to get to his feet. I can almost hear Steve in the background advising, “Stay down. Stay down, Peter!”

    Hey… I wasn’t collapsing! (#1) that was mid-burpie, or push-up or something… glad to see myself on the blog though (but still no pictures of my beautiful Ruby baby!) I vote for #4 for sure.

  7. Steven says:

    Ben,

    Here’s a picture of your beautiful Ruby: http://icechamber.com/blog/2007/03/04/baby-boom/

    Btw, I vote for #4. There’s just something mysterious about the posture.

  8. Lan-Ling says:

    Although all look sufficiently agonized, I agree that #4 has a certain je ne sais quoi…sort of a Bambi trying to take his first steps quality…. But then, I am biased.

    It takes a lot of practice to collapse in a gracious (and manly) way. Just so you know…….I would put it at the same level as, say, one arm pull-ups…..

  10. John says:

    To me it depends on what the were doing before they fell (as an indication of how hard they were working), but it looks like #4 simply rolled off his medicine ball!

    John,

    You are just jealous of my collapsing skills!

  12. John says:

    Here’s a trade…I’ll teach you milling and you teach me collapsing

  13. Steven says:

    John,

    Collapsing cannot be learned. It’s all in the genetics.
