Squirrels, Bikinis, Nuts, Olympics

#1 Post by themanintheseersuckersuit » Wed Jul 25, 2012 2:18 pm

Olympic beach volleyball players have come across an unexpected handicap - squirrels burying their nuts on their courts.
The rodents have been burying beechnuts and acorns on six sandy practice courts at London's St James's Park.
And bikini-clad players have been left grimacing as they land barefoot on the squirrel snacks.
Groundsmen now have to rake the sand before practice sessions, reports The Sun.

Suitguy is not bitter.

feels he represents the many educated and rational onlookers who believe that the hysterical denouncement of lay scepticism is both unwarranted and counter-productive

The problem, then, is that such calls do not address an opposition audience so much as they signal virtue. They talk past those who need convincing. They ignore actual facts and counterargument. And they are irreparably smug.

Only squirrels with prehensile tails should be allowed on the volleyball courts.....

I believe in the usefulness of useless information.

I read this morning that one of the American female gymnasts, Gabby Douglas, has been nicknamed "the flying squirrel" because of her performances on the uneven bars.

I honestly don't give a shit about the Olympics, but it's been a loooong time since Sully's sister got any avatar love, so here you all go....

If memory serves, your usual annual appearance should be sometime during the games, shouldn't it?

I count stars in my sleep. I wonder if Walhal counts volleyball players in his sleep.

Is that going to show up in the drug test?

Not even when Michelle Jenneke is running?



Oh wait. She didn't qualify. Never mind.
