Would the redneck fun kind of balls count? For example, the Xgames things like vertical snowboarding, or jumping off things on a rubber band ect.

Some balls are held for charity
And some for fancy dress
But when they're held for pleasure
They're the balls that I like best
My balls are always bouncing
To the left and to the right
It's my belief that my big balls
Should be held every night

We've got big balls
We've got big balls
We've got big balls
Dirty big balls
He's got big balls
She's got big balls
(But we've got the biggest balls of them all)

I've got balls! I love to photograph my balls too.

I'm currently looking for a source for big brass balls.

ACDC's BIG BALLS

I'm upper, upper class high society
God's gift to ballroom notoriety
And I always fill my ballroom
The event is never small
All the social papers say I've got the biggest balls of all

CHORUS
I've got big balls
I've got big balls
And they're such big balls
Dirty big balls
And he's got big balls,
And she's got big balls,
But we've got the biggest balls of them all!

And my balls are always bouncing
My ballroom always full
And everybody comes and comes again
If your name is on the guest list
No one can take you higher
Everybody says I've got great balls of fire!
CHORUS

Some balls are held for charity
And some for fancy dress
But when they're held for pleasure,
They're the balls that I like best.
And my balls are always bouncing,
To the left and to the right.
It's my belief that my big balls should be held every night.

CHORUS

And I'm just itching to tell you about them
Oh, we have such wonderful fun
Seafood cocktail
Crabs
Crayfish

There may be some really wierd and devious images in a challenge with this subject for a theme. It may just not be a safe subject to play with. At least not "G" rated safe.

I like the challenge theme if taken literally. "Spherical objects" may be a safer theme description to go with.
The highest rated image in the whole site right now is

Langdon's image

with an average vote of 8.6 It's just something to think about.

Like your emoticon FF,
Everybody loves their balls, no matter if they are attached to self or significant other, but that ain't what we are talking about here for a theme is it?

C N , Sorry we trashed your thread so badly, but it was inevitable with that thread topic. It would make an interesting challenge topic to say the least.
Hope we didn't hurt your feelings : )

No worries:-) *Grin* Getting off topic is par for the course (hey, a ball referance!) in these parts :-)

I knew the title would most likely be a hot button but nonetheless the idea is still good. There are so many different ball compositions that can be done:

Snowball
Disco Ball
WiffleBall
Crystal Ball w/Fortune Teller
Shot putt ball
Basketball
Football
Baseball
Flyball
T-Ball
Volleyball
New York's Times Square Ball
Maltball
Soccer Ball
Cricket
Polo
Cue Ball
8 Ball
Beach Ball
Hair ball
Jai Alai Pelota
Globe
Rubber Balls
Game of Jacks
Juggling balls
Marbles
Meatball
Tennis Ball
Bowling Ball
Gutterball
Roulette Wheel Ball
Golf Ball
Cotton Ball
Gumball
Bocce Balls
Game of Croquet
Excercise Balls
Excercise balls for small pets
Ping-pong balls
Ball bearings
Musketball
Cannonball
Pinball
Racketball
Then there are the Quidditch balls: the Quaffle, Budgers, and Golden Snitch (Harry Potter)
Etc. Etc. Etc.

Anyway *yawn* I should hit the hay. It's late and I have been up Image Processing way too long.
