Top Cutlines:

• 1. (and winner of 4 North Idaho Fair tickets): The US Olympic synchronized swimming team goes through their routine on the deck after deciding that Lake Champlain was just too darn cold for a practice — Shannon.
• 2. Poor little Molly loved the sea, but she was always quite embarrassed on family vacation cruises by her mom, a lady-pede from Planet Rockette — OrangeTV.
• 3. (tie) The cruise ship nail tech takes on her last set of toenails to polish. The rest are out for the air dry, and: the teaparty having their feet held to the fire, by the next generation, while on summer break — Cis, and: After being told it is impossible to sunburn the bottom of your feet, the 2011 Miss USA contestants were determined to prove them wrong — Meesterbox.

Shannon wins the 4 free tickets. But I’m in a generous mood. Everyone who entered today’s contest gets 2 free tickets, if you can drop by the office by noon Tuesday to pick them up.
