Find a word related to S T A L E

The idea is to find an English word (synonym –- antonym -- phrase or idiom ) related to the word – S T A L E ( adjetivo )

and then write a simple sentence in English and Spanish for that word. (not stale)

Example:

Their marriage had gone stale.

Su matrimonio se había estancado.

boring photo: boring boring.jpg

Pictures would be nice, (pretty one or animals get lots of votes) ha ha

[This link might help you find some ideas.]

Mariana has kindly agreed to be the “official” corrector of the Spanish.

I think I can manage being the “unofficial” corrector for the English, je je

This was the previous challenge

Cooking healthy doesn't have to taste bland. Cocinar saludable no tiene que tener un sabor insípido.

I think it's okay. You can smell something "sour/agrio" so why not a dish towel? - --Mariana--, Mar 18, 2013

I also saw the words estropeada and caducada for spoiled or expired. Anyone know which word is most commonly used for bad milk? Thanks.
