watch out for that pole!!!

the name has been left out to protect the innocent:b

the following is the 100 m-fly for those who haven't been watching the olympics. on this particular clip there is a line that shows up in red (at about 42 seconds into the swim) marking the current world record time. that line was green on the television i was watching last night.

keeping that in mind, here is the clip and the conversation that ensued while watching this swim live...



innocent one: what is that green thing???

me: that??? (pointing to the green line on the television)

innocent one: yeah...

me: that is used to show how fast the swimmers have to swim to beat the world record.

innocent one: oh... how do they keep from swimming into it???

me: into what???

innocent one: the green pole...

me: ROTFLMAO!!!

love and blessings,
dani xx

LOL thats a funny one!
Apparently one of our illustrious Aussie tv hosts asked whether or not world records can be beaten in the olympics!!!! Maybe that bimbo should have been sitting with you so you could explain that one to her LMAO! She makes the "innocent" one look like a genius!!!
Hope you are having a great day

That John!!!! Silly boy (just kidding!) Not a dull moment at your house. I dropped off 4 guys and 2 girls at the awesome Wilson County Fair last night.(it really is an award winning fair!) I was a little concerned leaving them there, but I have to cut the cord! So I'm just very patiently waiting for some conversations and events like you've been having at your house!
Love,
Gin

This is from Shannon signed in as Pete. I guess I could change it in the amount of time it took me to write this, but I won't b/c I'm tired.
Anyway.....it's ok.....if it was you? Ha!

Bren's Life said...

LOL! ok- that is funny. Did you ever watch that show Whacked Out Sports or something like that? It just ended & it was a show where ppl tried to compete each week in this crazy obstacle type course to win $50K. Well there was this girl on from Alaska & she's supposed to jump onto this pole & swing across onto the last obstacle. Well she can't see the pole - the huge white pole right in front of her. It was funny. For some reason I thought of that, but you probably have to see it. Maybe you can google it....
:) :)

dani said...

hey, bren:) it was funny... poor innocent one:S i haven't seen the show you are referring to, but i will look to see if it is on youtube:D
love,
dani

Shannon said...

I just had to comment again. I completely forgot how talented you are and this room pulling together so nicely comes as no surprise. For anyone reading this comment I must brag a little on Dani. She has a hand for art and has painted many murals on the walls in our old church!
