Unintentional sports porn!

[kageygirl]

I just had this conversation over ICQ with The Boy (though I changed his username to protect the--okay, no, never innocent). I adore him so much. *beg*

The Boy: I realize you're not a football fan, but I'm going to let you in on perhaps the greatest unheralded sports development in my lifetime...
The Boy: from a college football article: "Lowdown: With Leinart, Bush and LenDale White sitting out the spring, QB John David Booty emerged as the top backup..."
The Boy: here's the important point: the backup qb for the usc Trojans this fall is going to be named Booty. and their running back is named Bush. and they're in the same conference as the osu Beavers.
kageygirl: LOL
The Boy: the trojans will be protecting booty in the backfield! until their protection breaks down...
The Boy: oh, I don't know how the sportscasters are going to avoid giggling uncontrollably
kageygirl: ROFL
The Boy: :)
kageygirl: it'd be worse if Bush were a receiver, though, wouldn't it? Then Booty would be going deep to Bush...
The Boy: :)
The Boy: but this way there's Bush in the backfield
The Boy: where he and Booty are both in danger if there's penetration....
kageygirl: true, true. :) Booty'll be in the pocket... Booty getting sacked...
The Boy: ah, it just goes on and on )
The Boy: I'm positively giddy

It's like RPS that writes itself, and I feel no guilt, for I am uninvolved. This is even better than the NASCAR driver named Dick Trickle (I swear, I am not making that up).

ETA: Since I'm currently 12 anyway--I picked up Tuesday's Harvard Crimson, and dropped it again, laughing, when I saw the headline above the fold: "Police Chase Down Alleged Masturbator."

::titter::

A West Indies/England cricket match in the 70's has gone down in history for the commentator's remark that "the batsman's Holding, the bowler's Willey."

::giggles madly::

Oh, that's great. Usually you have to pay extra for that kind of video... *g*

[kageygirl.livejournal.com]

I just wish I could invent things as funny as the ones that just happen. *g*

[wickdzoot.livejournal.com]

Ain't that the truth, sweetie. :g:

...I go to USC.

We will be amused this fall, yes we will. This is better than the VT player named "Hyman". *dies laughing*

[kageygirl.livejournal.com]

Hee! Awesome. You guys are going to have the best newspaper headlines, I swear...

[wistful-fever.livejournal.com]

That's so hot.

I love it when they do it completely unassisted. They're just ASKING for their own website.

[kageygirl.livejournal.com]

I may have to start paying attention to college football, just to hear the commentary. *g*

[malograntum.livejournal.com]

One of my friends has, as a keepsake on their bulletin board, a headline from the Oregonian reading Beavers lose to Trojans.

[kageygirl.livejournal.com]

Oh, excellent. *eg* Our school mascot was the beaver (because it's nature's engineer ::eyeroll::), but all of our teams were the Engineers. Which is good, because no one wants to have to call the women's teams the Lady Beavers...

::snickery:: So very 12.

There is an infamous old bit of cricket commentary in the UK where, due to a God-given conjunction, the crusty old commentator observed blithely at some point "The bowler's Holding, the batsman's Willey" - they were indeed called Willey and Holding... well, *I* laughed!

And this week, one of my team sent me an email invite to a training course on politics, which I thought looked pretty routine until she steered me towards the Day 2 seminar being hosted by some academinc called, I promise you, John Cockaday.

We then had to spend the rest of the afternoon wondering if he had brothers called Ivor and Hugh and a cousin from Barcelona called Juan...

::pets the Harper::

Hee! Sometimes, it's good to be 12.

We had a book the author day whose author's last name was... Beaglehole. My brain went so many different bad ways with that one that I couldn't pick just one...

[rivier.livejournal.com]

HAH!

Did you know the German for 'ambassador' is 'Botschafter'?

tum-tee-tum...

[kageygirl.livejournal.com]

::snickers::

Well, it's all about having good, uh, relations, right?

[ness-va.livejournal.com]

Ok, you said you weren't making it up, but Dick Trickle! WTF!

[kageygirl.livejournal.com]

Really! (http://www.tricklefan.com/)

[ness-va.livejournal.com]

Man, he had cruel parents!

[reedfem.livejournal.com]

You slay me.

*snicker*

[kageygirl.livejournal.com]

I'm so glad The Boy is twisted in much the same way I am. *g*

[jenlev.livejournal.com]

bwahahahah!

and "dick trickle"? :::faints laughing:::

[kageygirl.livejournal.com]

Hee! It was just too funny not to share. *g*

[jenlev.livejournal.com]

it's perfect. and it's reminding me of "gale storm" and "rip torn". bwahah!

[gigitrek.livejournal.com]

the NASCAR driver named Dick Trickle

I knew a (really) Dick Strain. Which always sounded painful to me.

Do the people that use these names not find them the slightest bit odd? Or is it a deliberate joke?

[kageygirl.livejournal.com]

I've never been able to tell if they have a magnificent sense of humor, or none at all.

In one of my writing workshop classes, a woman named a character "Dr. Schlange." I had to explain that in my head, that sounded exactly like "schlong." And then I had to tell her what schlong meant. And all of my classmates were either morons, or totally playing innocent, leaving me to do the dirty work. Bastards.

[kyrdwyn.livejournal.com]

Have I said lately how much I adore you and the Boy for bringing me this laughter?

Although I did scare sweetsubbie with my cackling at this.

[kageygirl.livejournal.com]

Hee! We live but to serve. Well, I do, anyway, and I exploit him along the way.

My apologies to subbie, though, shouldn't she be used to that kind of thing by now? *g*

[kyrdwyn.livejournal.com]

You would think she'd be used to it, but apparently, the power of the cackle was too much here. Considering the material....

Please, exploit The Boy. The results are fun...
