Proud to be American....

We here at VS are proud to be all born in the US...well except for one person, but she came over to our side ~10 years ago and now has a US passport to prove how much she loves the good ole US of A.

We are also big fans of the Olympics. Some of this sport others of this sport..or perhaps just of this athlete, or this one, or that one, or him, him and him.

So in honor of the Summer Olympics, we at VS wanted to dedicate some space to funny things said, usually completely taken out of context, but still absolutely hilarious.

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

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

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?"
I'm sure more good things will come from Beijing in the coming weeks, please feel free to add your own in the comments section!

Peace out brotha

NHL awards ceremony TONIGHT

In honor of the hockey Oscars that are will be aired tonight on Versus, where hometown hockey heroes Alexander Ovechkin, Nicky Backstrom and Bruce Boudreau hope to bring back four trophies to Kettler, Vocabulary Shenanigans tips it's hat to Wayne's World, the book, for it's Top Ten Hockey Terms that sound dirty but aren't:

10 - On top of the crease.
9 - Spearing
8 - High sticking
7 - Penalty box
6 - Power play
5 - Dump and chase
4 - Wrap around goal
3 - Slipped it between the pads
2 - Putting your hand on a girl's breast
1 - Puck

And can't forget the guys over at Inside College Hockey and their "Things Found on Cocktail Napkin" list

• The Sin Bin
• Pulling the Goalie
• Touch-up Offsides
• In the Crease
• Holding the Stick
• Butt-Ending
• Change on the Fly
• Third Man In
• Hand Pass
• Dump and Chase

We'd like to add to the list:
-5- hole
- high sticking
-penetrate the zone
-poke check
-takes it deep
-2 man advantage

Needless to say, members of the VS team will be watching tonight, hoping that our guys bring some pretty stuff back to the Phonebooth.

What about you? Got any hockey related terms to add to the list of giggle-worth words?
