Funny sports quotes

Someone emailed me these today - I love these things. Simple things, simple minds. Anyway, couldn't resist sharing :

1. Weightlifting commentator: 'This is Gregorieva from Bulgaria. I
saw
her snatch this morning during her warm up and it was amazing.'

2. Dressage commentator: 'This is really a lovely horse and I speak
from
personal experience since I once mounted her mother.'

3. Paul Hamm, Gymnast: 'I owe a lot to my parents, especially my
mother
and father.'

4. Boxing Analyst: 'Sure there have been injuries, and even some
deaths
in boxing, but none of them really that serious.'

5. Softball announcer: 'If history repeats itself, I should think we
can
expect the same thing again.'

6. Basketball analyst: 'He dribbles a lot and the opposition doesn't
like it. In fact you can see it all over their faces.'

7. At the rowing medal ceremony: 'Ah, isn't that nice, the wife of

8. Soccer commentator: 'Julian Dicks is everywhere. It's like they've
got eleven Dicks on the field.'

9. 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?'

Democratic Wonderings

In spite of my love to rule by decree, and in a bid to dispel the belief that democracy is but a dream, we (Andy, James and I) have decided that our travelling fate shall be in your hands. In a publicity stunt which resembles a reality TV tactic, we will be regularly posting polls on our respective blogs giving our friends and families the opportunity to determine which trials and tribulations we shall face.

The first one is a biggie - Andy's Birthday present.

With Andy's birthday so soon after our departure date it is important that we get our travelling relationship off to a good start - we need to get him the best present possible. With this in mind we have turned to you guys to help us out. You can find the options over to the right in the sidebar - if you have any other ideas just let me know and I will add them. Happy voting, and remember...years of war, death and destruction has passed defending your right to send Andy to a ping pong show.
