ARCHERY HUMOR \ QUOTES
20th Century Fox presents a spoof of classic Robin Hood movies
.
Plot Summary:
.
.
The standard story of Robin Hood: Evil Prince John is oppressing the people while good King Richard is away on the Crusades. Robin steals from the tax collectors, wins an archery contest, defeats the Sheriff, and rescues Maid Marian. In this version, however, Mel Brooks adds his own personal touch, parodying traditional adventure films, romance films, and the whole idea of men running around the woods in tights. Written by Jean-Marc Rocher rocher@fiberbit.net

Remember when you were little and some little snotty brat would come up to you and kick you in the shin for no reason? Did you ever think that they may be conditioning themselves for a sport? Probably not, but shin kicking is a real sport. It was invented in the Cotwolds of England in the 1600s and currently an annual event in what is called the “Cotswold Olympicks”.

BOWLING HUMOR

Song: The Generic Blues
Lyrics: "Weird Al" Yankovic
.
-----------------
.
Generic Blues
by Al Yankovic
.
Lyrics:
.
I woke up this morning
Then I went back to bed
Said I woke up this morning
Then I went right back to bed
.
Got a funny kind of feelin' like
I got broken glass in my underwear
And a herd of wild pigs
is trying to chew off my head
You know what I'm sayin
.
'Well I ain't got no money
I'm just walkin' down the road
Said I ain't got no money, honey
So I'm just walking down this lonely old road
Well, I wish I could get me some money
But I forgot my automated teller code
.
I was born in a paper sack in the bottom of a sewer
I had to eat dirt clods for breakfast,
my family was so poor
My daddy was a waitress,
my mama sold bathroom tiles
My brothers and sisters all hated me
'cause I was an only child
.
I got the blues so bad, woo
Kinda wish I was dead
Maybe I'll blow my brains out mama
Or maybe I'll, yeah maybe
I'll just go bowlin' instead
.
I'm just a no good, scum sucking,
nose picking, boot licking, sniveling,
groveling, worthless hunk of slime
.
Nothing but a low-down beer bellied,
bone headed, pigeon toed, turkey necked,
weasle faced, worthless hunk of slime
.
Guess I got pretty low self image
Maybe it's a chemical imbalance or something --
I should probably go and see a doctor about it
when I've got the time
.
Make it talk Aw, make it talk, son,
make it talk, OK, now make it shut up
.
Plagues and famine and pestilence
always seem to get me down
I always feel so miserable whenever I'm around
.
I wish somebody would come along,
stick a pitchfork through my brain
I'd flush myself right down the toilet,
but I'd just clog up the drain
.
I got the blues so bad
Kinda wish I was dead
.
Maybe I'll blow my brains out mama
Or maybe I'll go bowling
Or I just might go bowling
.
Maybe I'll just rent some shoes and go bowling
Maybe I'll join a league, enter a tournament,
put on a stupid looking shirt
and go bowling instead, Yeah

Editor's note:
.
With all due respect to Mr. Turpin, I am only repeating what fellow
basketball fans would say whenever I viewed him as a starting center
in the NBA: "Dinner Bell" Mel?
.
So, since I still know only sports names, stats, and trivia, I always
yield to fans who are far more knowledgeable regarding nuances
and intricacies of all the sports and abilities of all the participants.
.
The nickname is a personal sports favorite and may have nothing
to do with Turpin's abilities or career, so take the above reference
with a grain of salt - what do I know!!!

CAUTION
.Although there are many options out there for betting, many of them are online and may be illegal depending on which state or country you reside. The main betting options are inside the sportsbook at a casino, or online at any number of sports betting websites. While casinos provide a legal means of betting in places like Las Vegas, Reno and Atlantic City, the online sports books are often not legal, especially in most states in the U.S.. They are operated out of countries or jurisdictions where betting on sports is either legal or not yet regulated.
Make sure to research before you place bets.

SPORTS TRIVIA \ QUOTES
Ex-Pittsburgh Pirates pitcher sinks two (2) holes in 1 on 9/11/09
.
Although he won two games for Pittsburgh in the 1971 World Series, Steve Blass is best remembered as the pitcher who suddenly lost his control in 1973.
.
Blass went from being a 19-game winner in 1972 to being unable to find the plate, and soon was out of baseball. Ever since, any pitcher who develops incurable wildness is referred to as having "Steve Blass Disease."
.
But Blass was incredibly on the mark yesterday, sinking two holes-in-one in the same round of golf, at a Pirates Alumni event.
.
"The first one we all went berserk," Blass told the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. "The second one, I took off my glasses, and started rolling down the hill like a little kid. I looked like a big, fat bear rolling down the hill."
.
Golf Digest lists the odds of accomplishing the feat as 1-in-67 million.
.
The first ace was a 154-yarder, with an 8-iron. The second was from 175 yards, with a 7-iron.
.
"When I was driving home, I was still so numb, still shaking," Blass said.
.
"It was like after the World Series -- I was too thrilled to get drunk."

CRICKET POEM

"Cricket Story/Poem Contest, 2004")
.
AN ODE TO CRICKET
.
Oh, cricket is such a fun,
Players keen to make a run
After, forcefully, they trounce
A ball of five and half ounce,
.
With a mighty willow bat,
Swinging it this way and that,
In a show of great cunning,
batsmen bat a full inning,
.
What decides who wins matches?
Runs and wickets and catches.
Bowlers’ dream is a hat-trick
Each side wants the trophy quick.
.
Cricket, game of gentlemen,
Of sportsmanship, true emblem,
Thou can verily inflame
Passions in the name of game.
.
In thy name forget nations,
Inimical relations.
Thy name can thaw up the heart,
And friendly talks can restart.
.
Cricket, hold thy banner high
And, from rooftops, give a cry:
Heartily all of us hail
Sehwag, Kaif, Parthiv Patel.
.
----------------------------------
.
* Written in aabb, 7-7-7-7 format
.
* The reference in the last but one stanza is to the thawing of relations between India and Pakistan in the wake of the Cricket match series, 2004.

* Sehwag is the only cricketer in the world to complete a triple century with a sixer. Kaif and Parthiv Patel also made notable contributions.

GOLF QUOTES
Quotes from the golf movie Tin Cup
.
Plot Summary:
.
Roy 'Tin cup' McAvoy, a failed pro golfer who lives at the run-down driving range which he manages with his sidekick and caddy Romeo in the West Texas tin pot town of Salome, ends up signing over ownership to a madam of 'show girls' to pay off debts.
.
His foxy novice golf pupil, female psychiatrist Dr. Molly Griswold, turns out to be the new girlfriend of McAvoy's sarcastic one-time college golf partner, slick PGA superstar David Simms, who drops by to play into Roy's fatal flaw: the inability to resist a dare, all too often causing him to lose against lesser players, in this case gambling away his car.
.
Falling for Molly, Roy decides to become her patient; in order to earn her respect, he decides to try to qualify for the US Open, after starting off as Simm's caddy 'for the benefit of his experience'.
.
His talent proves more then adequate, but over-confident negligence of risks, while pleasing the crowds, is murder on his scores, while Simms spits on the fans but never wastes a point...
.
