Friday Humor: Olympics Edition

Tyler Durden's picture




 

Sometimes, some things are best left unsaid:

  • Weightlifting commentator: "This is Gregoriava from Bulgaria. I saw her snatch this morning during her warm up and it was amazing."
  • Dressage commentator: "This is really a lovely horse and I speak from personal experience since I once mounted her mother."
  • Boxing Analyst: "Sure there have been injuries, and even some deaths in boxing, but none of them really that serious."
  • Softball announcer: "If history repeats itself, I should think we can expect the same thing again."
  • Basketball analyst: "He dribbles a lot and the opposition doesn't like it. In fact you can see it all over their faces."
  • At the rowing medal ceremony: "Ah, isn't that nice, the wife of the IOC president is hugging the cox of the British crew."
  • Soccer commentator: "Julian Dicks is everywhere. It's like they've got eleven Dicks on the field."
  • 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?"

And finally, Obama calls Phelps:

"Congratulations Michael, but remember you didn't win all those medals, someone else did. After all, you swam in public pools, built by state employees using tax dollars. You got training from the USOC, and ate food grown by the Department of Agriculture. You should play fair and share your medals with the people who can barely keep their head above water, let alone swim."

h/t George

The "you didn't do that" jokes have never been funny, since they were based on an out-of-context quote of Obama. If he had actually meant it the way he's being quoted, all these jokes would actually be funny. But spreading a meme based on an intentional misrepresentation of fact is the sign the Republicans really have nothing on Obama and are going to lose the election. Keep hammering on the birther stuff and the misquotes and all you're going to do is get him reelected.

See? There you go. Real issues. He's a liar. He's a crook. But whether or not he was born in America, no one seems to give a shit including 99.9% of establishment Republicans INCLUDING Romney... and the "you didn't build your business" thing is like being angry at Eugene McCarthy for farting in an elevator.

Actually, Obama not being born in America is a big fucking deal.  He wasn't.  Romney is a piece of shit because he is a progressive, ass kissing, flip flopper who will suck anyones dick as long as they are giving him money.

Anger is a matter of perspective.  You have to care in order to be angry.  I will only care when the NWO comes knocking on my door to collect my guns and ammo. Unfortunately I lost everything else in a boating accident.

"You have to care in order to be angry."

Soylent,

Amen.

When I was soldiering for the 101st in Vietnam, we mistrusted every SOB who didn't give a rat's ass.  If he didn't care whether he lived or died, then he did not care if he fucked up and killed us all.  Sometimes, you got to be very angry in order to motivate the SOB to do what he has got to do for all of us to survive.

 

And that is precisely the mission here at ZH.  Collectively survival through conscious awareness and preparing appropriately.

Mr. MDARGF you are living in a fairy land.  People in the U.S. don't understand what it means to be free and unencumbered from the federal government.  The mission of ZH is to provide a multitude of information, and the reader to make an honest and non-biased judgment on the world around them.

Why do we have to be separated in order to be equal?  God never intended that.

Survival only goes as far the individuals willing to protect the group.  If the dominate group is the State then the righteous will fade into obscurity.

there is nothing more whiny than listening to a conservative bitch about the ills of the country when a democrat is in office. Asisde from the fact that most of what you are bitching about is completely out of the control of any induvidual president. You live in an empre controlled by elites. They want war we go to war. Soldiers die in war they are not innocents they sign up for battle. Organized labor is what created the middle class in this country.

If we had Mcain right now instead of Obama right now we would be nowere diffent.

It's true. The only thing McCain might've done different is fought harder to end torture, because he's actually been tortured. So in a way, he's more Left-Wing than Obama.

Watch Romney get elected and the first thing he does is raise taxes on you little curmudgeons.

we'll take our chances since you seem to think one over the other will make a difference, some of us are convinced it don't matter either way, heads they win, tails you lose. It does seem that eveyone I know who actually visits the post office with a quarterly filing to the IRS thinks much different then the ones who visit the post office every month to pick up a government check and hangs out at Walmart around midnight on the last day of the month waiting for JP Morgan to reload their SNAP card.

"based on an intentional misrepresentation"

 

You mean he intentionally misrepresented himself? That's a bold move. I've seen the whole speech he gave with the "you didn't build that" quote, and he meant it. No context needed. Oh, and he doesn't need you to have his back because he doesn't give a shit about you or anyone else but himself. It's always hardest to see the things that are right in front of you. It's okay if you voted for him the first time, but you don't have to vote for him again out of sheer stubbornness.

dark people?  this idiot, big bad bama is as white as he is black, and the white part of his family could have easily paid for his education and let the money be spent on people that needed the help.  i hope you see this, even if it is a week later.  and spoiled, me?  yeah.  i spoiled myself because i started paying my father mortgage when i was 15, because he had no work, and i did.

anyway, i'm happy for the darkies.  they have lebron and bama and some comedians, so it makes them all feel better, you see, because you can make it if you try.

waterpolo is a great sport played by Italian, Serbs, Montenegrans, Croats and the inevitable Magyars. The real game is to neutralise the balls under water by kicking and scratching them to mashed potatoes. It makes the subsequent goal scoring ABOVE water much easier. You know which countries work best below the water line and also below the belt!

Once, when I was bartending one evening, two guys came in and ordered a couple bottles of beer.  I set them in front of them, and within moments, one of the men tipped his over while reaching across to his buddy for whatever reason.  I grabbed it before it tipped over completely. As fate would have it, there was a break in the music and a lull fell over the room just as the guy said, "WHOA, NICE SNATCH!!!" Beer shot out his friend's nose, and the barroom erupted in laughter.  Boy, was his face red.

In a local tavern, the barmaids have a curious habit of collecting quarters for the jukebox when the music stops.

Hope Solo was seen walking in the park with the Bolt. Rumor has it he met Faith and Charity in her company. In fact he dumped them for the Swedish female handball team. There were five swedish maidens so it was obvious the Bolt liked to drown by numbers in Walkyrie honey. Hope will be watering her lawn in the nude once again this week end.

"Africa Village", A Hospitality Centre set up for 53 African nations to promote themselves and their countries to Olympic visitors and as a platform for a future Olympic bid costing $3.75 million which was donated by British Authorities and French investors never opened. None of the organisers turned up on the opening day, none of the bills were paid, and the money has gone!

Meanwhile, the 7 missing Cameroon athletes remain to be found and local rumours suggest more athletes have disappeared including 4 from other African nations and one Chinese competitor.
