Last July I posted a whim-of-the-moment collection of Action verbs, expressed by links to Yahoo News Photos. I remember at the time, wanting to do it with Flickr too, but there really were too many missing bits (not enough photos and not enough tags) to make it as interesting. Well, leap forward five months and it's even more interesting - the results on Flickr are less exact than Yahoo News - but more intriguing, and certainly more personal.
Of the 49 original linked words, only three (shout, raise, and clench) have no matching tags in Flickr. So, with that, here they are:

A person does many things in a day. These things are captured on film and transmitted via my (new) favorite source of photos, Flickr.com.

On any given day, a person:

Eats, drinks, bites, feeds, and (hopefully) cleans.

Speaks, addresses, shouts, yells, gestures, points, and, quite possibly listens.

Lifts, raises, flies, or clenches a fist, leaps, tackles, pushes, possibly shoves, throws, hurls, or tosses.

Frowns, cries, grimaces, weeps, or mourns (lots of this in the Middle East.)

Touches, scratches, and wipes. Holds, or clutches.

Sings, performs, and poses, or is captured in silhouette.

Smiles, consoles, laughs, celebrates, kisses, embraces, hugs, and dances.

Then of course, looks, yawns, and sleeps.
