Gray Powelled: v, to leave something of value behind at a bar. Ex: Oh man, last night was such a blast, even though I Gray Powelled my favorite umbrella.
Must say, we did expect more of an effort from those stalwart, weather-worn Brits. First-timer @Stdismas sent this not-quite-broken castaway to us from London.
This fella didn't have a prayer when @StuartYoung snapped him outside Notre Dame, giving us our first French carnage. Even the City of Light has its dark days.
LAST DAY to enter your caption to become Caption Captain III and win a signed copy of The Manual of Detection, which heavily features a certain hard-working foul weather accessory. Go get!
Send us your tired, your poor, your broken umbrellas
Please include your name and the city/state/resting place of your broken umbrella carnage, your blog/twitter or any other attribution. Oh, and by sending photography, you're relinquishing ownership, copyright, publicity rights, etc, blah, etc. bloggadocio (a) gmail.
