PLEASE NOTE: The Reality TV World Message Boards are filled with desperate attention-seekers pretending to be one big happy PG/PG13-rated family. Don't be fooled. Trying to get everyone to agree with you is like herding cats, but intolerance for other viewpoints is NOT welcome and respect for other posters IS required at all times. Jump in and play, and you'll soon find out how easy it is to fit in, but save your drama for your mama. All members are encouraged to read the complete guidelines. As entertainment critic Roger Ebert once said, "If you disagree with something I write, tell me so, argue with me, correct me--but don't tell me to shut up. That's not the American way."

"Olympic Names"
Can we have a petty thread to note athlete names that are funny?

Usain Bolt is totally apropos for the world's fastest man.

Third place in men's trampoline? Dong Dong.

So what names are making you chuckle?

My personal favorite is Chinese gymnast He Kexin. Not that her name is particularly funny, but rather that headlines like "He wins Olympic gold in women's uneven bars" are funny.

Well... maybe it's just me.


Another catchy agman siggie

He Kexin (won tiebreaker for gold over Nastia Liukin), Jiang Yuyuan and Yang Yilin. And here's an example of Kexinlogic:

http://www.nbcolympics.com/gymnastics/news/newsid=245550.html?_source=rss&cid=

"I was born in 1992 and I'm 16 years old now," He said Monday. "The FIG has proved that. If I'm under 16, I couldn't have been competing here."

Not so much a personal name as the name on a team uniform. This is the women's beach volley ball team from Brazil. DH and I got a good giggle out of this.

Heh... there was an old joke that came out after she retired - someone spread a rumour that Picabo Street became a nurse in a large hospital but was forbidden to answer the phone lest she said, "Picabo, I.C.U."

No truth to that rumour, though, as she never became a nurse in the first place.

Lolo Jones....the American favorite to win the hurdles. Unfortunately, Lolo went too low low and hit the second to last hurdle knocking her out of the medals today.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LoLo_Jones

I love this bit from the link though:

Her best friend is Canadian hurdler Priscilla Lopes-Schliep.

Our gal won bronze in that event!!!!!

Last week we noticed an Israeli swimmer in the Men's 200m Freestyle whose first name was Nimrod. We looked for him again all week, to no avail. I guess that was all he swam. He did set an Israeli record!
