OLYMPIC SCANDALS UPDATE:

Gambling, Pee and Bonk.

Comments

BTW, speaking as an actual swimmer, those guys should NOT be peeing in the main pool. That's what diving wells are for.

[Guin]

Wasn't Gambling, Pee and Bonk the name of a law firm in one of those Dickens novels?

I put 10 pounds on the U.S. women’s beach volleyball team of Kerri Walsh and Misty May-Treanor, who were in the semifinals.
Ten pounds of what? Seems you left something out of the story. Is it related to the condom buckets?

A gay friend of mine, who despite being gay is very much a Guy, finds "clean and jerk" to be a very funny name for an Olympic(TM) event...

[Theresa]

I could never understand why someone would pee in a pool or a lake. Just lazy.

[DrPat]

"Bonk" is a negative in most athletic circles. (And, no, wiredog, it has nothing to do with what happens after you don a condom.)

[queensbee]

how could anyone 'snatch' an item that weighs 700 lbs?? is someone else standing behind you ready to steal it??? or is that a silly question??

[Omniskeptic]

Guin beat me to that one by half an hour, at least.

[poker]

I thought gambling, pee, and bonk was another of those English cuisine dishes, like bubble and squeak

[nursecindy]

When my kids were small I lied told them if they peed in grandma's pool a red ring would appear around them and we would know who did it. They should try this in the Olympics. If they found an actual product that did this you could bet on who would pee in the pool first.

[ligirl]

What's the difference between a pickpocket & a peeping tom weightlifting judge?

One snatches watches and the other watches snatches

[padraig]

ligirl, just don't tell the one about the pygmy hunters and the women's track team.

[ligirl]

*snork* @ pad - sorry, butt somebody had to say it....

btw: shouldn't it be 'jerk-and-clean'?

[nursecindy]

If no one else is going to say it I will. Gambling, Pee, and Bonk WBAGNF an elderly punk rock band.

[MikeyVA]

If someone announced, in public, that we should applaud for a snatch. I would pee... with laughter.

[Clankie]

You beat me to it, Guin... But only by 5 hours. No... 5 hours and 10 minutes.

[Wolfsong]

Guin?

I guess great minds think alike.

Beat ME too it, too.

[Don A Condom]

Dear DrPat: Careful with the name drops, eh?

[Guin]

I've apparently won the Dickensian bon mot contest of the week. I'm so proud!

[Steve]

I was introduced to weight-lifting in high school but it was a very short relationship.
I figured, if god wanted me to lift that over my head, he would have made it lighter (the weight). (Maybe my head).
And as for those Olympic guys, how tall were they before they took up the sport?

[Loudmouth]

Dave, I really don't want to know about your strip Rock, Paper, Scissors addiction.

[Done Gone Galt]

You won 14 pounds? Or did you win 4 and get your 10 back? Hard to believe you could get such great odds so late in the competition.
