byoffer 15947 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 08-19-08, 10:54 AM (EST) "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?   Top

Max Headroom 10069 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 08-19-08, 11:52 AM (EST) 4. "RE: Olympic Names" 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   Top

Snidget 44369 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 08-19-08, 12:00 PM (EST) 5. "RE: Olympic Names" I blinked a couple of times at headlines about He winning a woman's gold medal myself. Medal winning sigs by Agman!   Top

Brownroach 15341 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 08-19-08, 12:06 PM (EST) 8. "RE: Olympic Names" I completely agree. I have to reread practically every sentence written about her, or rather, He, before it makes sense. Surfkitten Summer Sigshop 2008   Top

dabo 26942 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 08-21-08, 09:48 PM (EST) 25. "RE: Olympic Names" 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."   Top

"RE: Olympic Names" LAST EDITED ON 08-19-08 AT 12:03 PM (EST) 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. GUESS WHAT! I got a FEV-ah -- and the only pre-SCRIP-tion -- is MORE COWBELL! Shar's World   Top

"RE: Winter Olympics" 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.   Top

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!!!!! Chiseled by Abman Agman!   Top
