Unintentional sports porn!

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."

...I go to USC.

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

That's so hot.

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

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

::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...

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

[reedfem.livejournal.com]

You slay me.

*snicker*

bwahahahah!

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?

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.
