Huckleberries Online

Photo of the Day w/Top Cutlines — 8/5/05

About 40 mothers gathered at the park as one of the seven venues in Alameda County, Calif., to attempt to break Australia's world record (1664) for the most mothers breastfeeding simultaneously. You write the cutline -- carefully.

Top Cutlines (one of the toughest contests we've ever had. Many great entries:

1. "Got milk?" -- Upclose.

2. (tie) A visual oxymoron: An event that is enjoyed by all and yet sucks at the same time -- Dang. And: The California Dairy Association preps the photo shoot for the "World's 40 tiniest milk moustaches" -- Ryan Hill.

3. (tie) Mothers wait outside the Kootenai County Jail for visiting hour, curiously all waiting to visit the same inmate -- Whatever. And: Somewhere Ross Perot is mumbling, "I tried to warn 'em about a 'Giant Sucking Sound'...." -- HC.

HM: Family Phil (and probably a whole lot more. Take a bow one and all).
