It’s the running gage of the website and how we recognize each other. Two people cross each other in the street, one says “Top of the mornin’ to ya.” The other says, “Compound bow.” and the first replies “Ah!” and the two share a smile and a titter. It really does make the rest of the day bearable.
Yes, sometimes I even say g-bye to my Awkward friends by saying something like “Have a compound day.” and they’ll sternly say back, “NO, I’LL HAVE A CROSS DAY” we’ll both laugh and go on. Ahhh, ain’t life grand!
If I remember this “ride” correctly, there is a trampolin or bouncy pad that you jump on several times and then jump against the velcro wall. I always wanted to do it when I was younger – but they stopped having them at carnivals MANY years ago!
You can tell that the little girl is sliding down while her snazzy purple jumpsuit stays stuck in place. Her face bears testament to the unfortunate mega-wedgie that resulted.
This photo is great.. it’s going to be one of those family photos that you look at 10 years later and say “I can’t believe we did that!” and laugh yourself silly.
If the idea is you jump on a trampoline and get stuck on the velcro wall…. did they jump backwards? How do you get your back stuck to it? Not that I’m going to try it.

That guys right foot looks like a TMNT’s foot.
yeah – he has one webbed foot!
He’s part Hobbit!
Did someone say compound bow?
You heard me say that from here?
The Bow thing again? It wasn’t all that funny the first time. And yes I saw the people holding up the compond bows. It’s getting obnoxious.

love it, mebinger! some people just dont understand…
Haha!
I love that look. “Great dad, now how do we get down?”
Whats even worse is that the only way for the little girl to get that high is if the dad THREW her up there, then jumped on himself. HA!
Your reconstruction makes perfect sense.
In any case one can easily see whose idea this was.
You people just made me cry with laughter. thanks.
I missed something.Looks like a family having fun to me.
Agreed, although Velcro walls are supposed to be awkward.. esp. in front of large crowds, like sumo wrestling on those suits.
That little girl is NOT having fun right now.
The little girl looks like she just heaved a great big sigh of disgust. HA!
A firm wedgie will put that look on your face.
Is this some velcro wall of shame? That poor little girl looks so bewildered and Dad looks WAY too happy.
the Holidays are ALWAYS fun when the Lettermans pull out the Velcro Wall!
It was either that or wear the Alka Seltzer suit and jump into a wading pool!
ROFL
Ahhh, the memories…
Lobster foot man
bahahaha!!!
Good one!
“Dad, seriously. This thing is meant to be VERTICAL, not just laying on the floor.”
Primary Colors Man and his sidekick Tie-Dye Girl take flight over the closed-off scenic highway in pursuit of justice…!

I went on one last month!
Girl is thinking: “I wonder how long Mom will leave us up here.”
You know, the girl actually looks bored with the whole thing.

Why you should always use fabric softener!
I remember watching people get off this ride pulling their clothes out of their back end, kept me entertained while waiting in line for my turn.
The little girl looks vaguely like the character in “Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory” that turns into a blueberry
“Joseph and the Technicolor Dream Onesie”
OMGOODNESS! I’m laughing hysterically at this comment!!
genius!
my ex-boyfriend did this at the fair. he got a giant wedgie and was just hanging there….. i could never look at him the same way again.
actually when they pulled her off, she was snatched ball-headed by the velcro….
oops…bald-headed
Don’t you just hate static cling?
Hahaha, she looks utterly bored.
haha you said utterly!
I promise,he is a really good dad!!!!!
No doubt. Good dads are willing to be a little awkward with their kids.
Looks like a Father of the Year Award is in order. The best parents play with their kids.
how does one NOT get a wedgie doing this?
This photo is great.. it’s going to be one of those family photos that you look at 10 years later and say “I can’t believe we did that!” and laugh yourself silly.
So. much. fun.
Also known as The Klingons …
The guy is screming out in pain because he has a monster wedgie. “AAAUGH!”
“Joseph and the Technicolor Velcro Suit”
Man I hate Off Broadway…..
Why the underarm ventilation?
what’s wrong with this slide ????
This actually looks kinda fun. Lol
lil girl looks like shes in time out! dad just threw her up there

Yes you are!!
What’s with all the dads throwing their daughters around!
that’s one way to keep the kids from acting up.
No one ever takes the “wedgie factor” into consideration when trying this game at the fair! Thats gotta be uncomfy!
Best part is, dtripes on dad’s suit match the ride
Okay this doesn’t look how I thought I typed it…meant to say ‘the stripes on dad’s suit’
