Top Nine Olympics Comments
CONTEST DEADLINE is this Friday at midnight. Don’t forget. Go check out this post for details.
I get a lot of jokes sent my way via email. Sure, not nearly as many as I did when I was running my old humor ezine, The Cattle Prod MoosLetter, but I still get my fair share.
The other night while at my mom’s Dynamite Divas weekly gathering, one of my friends passed me an email with some funnies in it. Oh, what are the Dynamite Divas? It’s a group of my mom’s friends that get together every week for dinner. They change the location every week, I guess to keep the CIA guessing. I’m an honorary member because of that time I wore a grass skirt and coconut bra at a friend’s birthday…ah, but you don’t want to hear about that.
I’m trying to get all of my stories done for tomorrow’s FC blog because I have to go to Tampa for a doctor appointment. Yeah, that’s what happens when you get your medical done by the V.A. – you go where you have to go. Since it’s an eye consult, it requires me going to one of the main medical centers, and Tampa is the closest one.
I somehow scratched one of the lenses in my glasses – don’t know how. Anyway, it’s been driving me batty, and it’s time for my annual eye exam, anyway. You know, having diabetes makes you prone to certain problems. So an annual exam on the eyes is more important than for most other people. Blah blah blah. Long story short, I have to drive two hours tomorrow afternoon. I HATE driving.
Then on Wednesday I am driving my mom to Orlando to have a heart catheterization done. Might require me to stay overnight if she needs a stent, but they won’t know until they perform the procedure.
So that’s what’s going on in MY neighborhood. Hope you’re all doing great. I know I’m missing out on a ton of blogs.
Oh, and the joke my friend, Darrel sent me since I’m too lazy to write something else.
Filed under Humor, Local Goings On, Sports | Comments (14)Here are the top nine comments actually made by NBC sports commentators (or participants)during the Summer Olympics that they would like to take back:
1. Weightlifting commentator: “This is Gregoriava from Bulgaria. I saw her snatch this morning during her warm up and it was amazing.”
2. Dressage commentator: “This is really a lovely horse and I speak from personal experience since I once mounted her mother.”
3. Paul Hamm, Gymnast: “I owe a lot to my parents, especially my mother and father.”
4. Boxing Analyst: “Sure there have been injuries, and even some deaths in boxing, but none of them really that serious.”
5. Softball announcer: “If history repeats itself, I should think we can expect the same thing again.”
6. Basketball analyst: “He dribbles a lot and the opposition doesn’t like it. In fact you can see it all over their faces.”
7. At the rowing medal ceremony: “Ah, isn’t that nice, the wife of the IOC president is hugging the cox of the British crew.”
8. Soccer commentator: “Julian Dicks is everywhere. It’s like they’ve got eleven Dicks on the field.”
9. Tennis commentator: “One of the reasons Andy is playing so well is that, before the final round, his wife takes out his balls and kisses them…Oh my God, what have I just said?”

I hope everything turns out well with your Mom, and with you, of course. I took my Dad to have a heart cath 3 years ago.
Safe driving!

The tennis comment is my favorite. I hope you have a safe drive and that your eyes are ok. And I will keep you and your mom in my thoughts tomorrow. That’s interesting that the hospital keeps their stent pts overnight. I work on the cardiac floor and we don’t…we send them home 12 hours later.

I hope everything goes well for your mom, and that you get the perfect pair of specs.

Good luck with your eye appointment and best wishes to your mom — my grandmother just had a stent put in after noticing some chest pains for just 2 days… turns out she had a 90% blockage in 2 major arteries, so she is a lucky lady. We told her to go buy lottery tickets. But the best part is that she’d been feeling really lethargic and run down and didn’t know why, and now she feels awesome. Hopefully your mom will have a similar experence!

Those were hilarious. Especially the last one. I love that right after the fact the commentator realizes their mistake.
Sending good vibes to your Mom.

Wednesday night at my house is naked night, so if you have to stay here, I hope you’re okay with that.

What is it with the 2010 olympians. Some being killed, some can’t stay on the snowboarding course and worst yet, the skaters can’t skate. I have seen very few skaters who have actually won who deserved to. Most can’t stand up. What are they smoking? I remember the old days when skaters did not fall. I think the skaters need to go back and view some of the old clips when skaters could skate!

@Patricia Matthews, I see trips and falls every Olympics, so I don’t know. I do think that a lot of the skating isn’t as elegant as in the “old days.” I can’t believe I just said the “old days.” Heh.
