Finally!

…as Alert Reader Danny P. tells me:

…and as we all know, when Vegas starts up a little action, it’s officially a Thing.

I know it’s a little too soon to base tradition upon something that has only occurred twice (so far), but I’m hoping that the lime-green dildo becomes a feature, a trademark if you will, of this most excellent institution.

Of course, the Woke / Perpetually Indignant / WNBA [much redundancy]  will do their best to stamp this out — think:  Dildo-Tosser Cam — which makes this whole thing so much the more amusing.


Afterthought:  Reader Danny wants me to assure everyone that he is not fixated on dildos — not that there’s anything wrong with that, of course — but there it is nevertheless.

The Return Of Big Lime

Heeeeere comes another one!

Another night, and another green sex toy has been tossed upon the floor of a WNBA court.

During Friday night’s game between the Valkyries and the Sky, a green dildo was flung from the crowd and landed on the hardwood as players and officials looked on aghast.

As noted in the post below, this is the second such dildo throwing incident, and both instances have come at games when the Valkyrie are playing.

For some reason, this stuff is tickling my (lime-green) funny-bone.

The fact that everyone is so upset and butt-hurt [sic]  about this just makes me giggle all the more.

Appropriate Gesture

Alert Reader Danny P. notified me of something which he thought worthy of comment (me too):

Sex toy thrown on court during final moments of WNBA game

…which gave me the giggles because:

What actually gave me the giggles was not the item per se, but the way it was removed from the court:

The game was paused as police and arena security entered the court to remove the object.

Police AND security?  Let’s not take any chances here, folks.  (No ATF Bomb Squad, even?)

A police officer was seen carrying the object in a towel and removing it from the court.

What, no hazmat suits?

Anyway, as of now it appears that the fuzz haven’t been able to find the miscreant wot dun it, and I hope they don’t.

A lime-green florescent dildo… I didn’t even know they came [sic]  in that color.

Finally, I’m going to go out on a limb here and say that as a spectacle, the Great Lime Dildo Incident was probably more exciting than the WNBA game.

Nice People, They Are

There are several good reasons to like the Finns — they’re private people, keep themselves to themselves, and they like to kick Russian ass.  To name but some.

Here’s a good reason to like one of their F1 drivers:

Valtteri Bottas has opened up about his time as a sniper in the Finnish army. The 10-time Grand Prix winner was forced to complete his nation’s mandatory military service between 2008 and 2009 as he was climbing the ladder to F1.

Sadly (I suspect) he didn’t get to shoot any Russians, but hey, that’s just the luck of the draw.  In any event, he’s a fine driver, but just happens to have drawn the short straw most recently, careerwise.  Let’s hope he gets to drive with a team in 2026.

Hiatus

Some sporting news, as it pertains to me only:

1.) The English Professional League (EPL) football 2024/25 season is over until late summer.  There goes my weekly sports event.  Bummer.  At least Chelsea made the top 5.

2.) Formula 1 — which is almost weekly — is starting to heat up, and now that the always-boring Monaco GP is over, we can look forward to some actual drama.

3.) The cricket season is starting up, so that’s good — albeit not weekly — because South Africa has a pretty busy season this year, starting with a tour of Strylia (always a good competition, provided that the Strylians can refrain from cheating).  And speaking of touring Australia, I have to wait until January next year to watch the Ashes (Oz vs. England).

4.) Golf tournaments coming up:  US Open and the Open Championship (British).  I only watch the four majors:  Masters (McIlroy), US PGA (Sheffler) and the two above (winners TBD).

5.) I don’t watch basketball of any description, so whatever happens there is of no interest to me.

6.) Ditto baseball.

7.) Ditto (ice) hockey.

8.) Ditto the NFL.

9.) Ditto tennis except for Wimbledon, and that only occasionally.  I pretty much haven’t watched it since they stopped playing with wooden racquets.

10.) I don’t watch any women’s sporting events, because the skills are crap and there’s no nudity.

Okay, you can all get back to cleaning your guns / cutting your toenails / whatever.

Champion Totty

European football’s “Champions League” competition is an annual event — a mini-World Cup, so to speak — which attempts to answer the burning question:  “Ignoring national boundaries, which is the best football club in Europe?”

I know that in these parts, football (“soccer”) is about as popular as Underwater Australian Wrist Wrestling (Friday nights @ 3am on ESPN), but bear with me because I’m not going to talk about the game anyway.

The ECL’s main TV host is an Albanian named Eva Amati, and she makes all our U.S. female sports presenters look like male drag artists.

And her Valentine’s Day pic:

I want to lie on a bed and listen to her murmur sweet Italian* nothings in my ear.


*She speaks Italian and English fluently, as well as her native Albanian.
