Having been uncomfortable sitting on one of my chairs at the island of my kitchen (does that sound like code for something? I think it does), I decided to do something about it. I bought this product. I rubbed it in gently, sat back down. Chair is still uncomfortable. This product, Dulcolax Stool Softener, is fraudulent!
Olympic Update: French Hockey Star fires on Canadians
February 26th, 2010 by rick copper | 1 Comment - click to view »Antoine Delacroix, all-star defenseman for France’s ice hockey squad, vented his team’s poor showing – including a resounding 11-1 loss to Jamaica – on Canadians.
“Never have they mad a decision, these fence-sitting apologetic Franco-English. Can’t even make a decent crepe. Their crepes have the color of a rubber chicken and taste just as horrible.”
Slamming his designer gloves into his locker, he continued. “Culture? Their culture lies in the bottom of a yogurt cup. Ceremony? I spit on their ceremony. The last time I saw an opening that terrible it was at a cut-rate Belgian house of whores.”
Peppered with questions like France’s part-time goalie and full-time Sous Chef Jean “one timer” Des Tombes, Delacroix answered each and every one including “so will you be coming back for a vacation?”
Cool as vichyssoise, Delacroix responded “but of course, I have family here.”

Dateline Olympics: U.S. Olympic Committee head “Curling needs straightened out”
February 23rd, 2010 by rick copper | Click to leave a comment »The current head of U.S.A. Winter Olympics, Joanie Brunetti, claimed today a complete re-do needs to be done for America’s Curling program.
“Obviously, it needs straightened out. The front side we have strands of curling lovers banging up against one another. On the back end, things are spiraling out of control. Someone needs to straighten her out. That person is me.”
Planning on combing through the mess from top to bottom, Brunetti exclaimed “certainly there will be some snarls and snags along the way, but it’s just not something you can brush over.”
Other Olympic Curling competitors echoed her sentiments. Slovakian Team Captain Heron Updo told this reporter “Look, I am not one to cast the first stone at their glass house, but their program is beset with problems. It’s false and no glue is going to keep that rug from being swept under.”
When told the Slovakian’s statement, Brunetti could only comment “What? Whatever. Tell him for me our changes, unlike theirs, will be permanent and no change will be coming from a bottle. It’s time for the United States Curling program to get a complete makeover. No stone will be left unturned, every strand will be conditioned for maximum success.”
Olympics Exclusive – S.O.A.P.S raises stink in wrong location
February 22nd, 2010 by rick copper | 1 Comment - click to view »In a move designed to embarrass their neighbors’ efforts for a successful Olympiad, S.O.A.P.S (Saskatchewan Order Against Participatory Sports) began raising a stink against these Winter Olympics.
Starting by not bathing and living in an abandoned bear den for two months, the protesters arrived in the Olympic Village with intentions of an olfactory assault on all athletes. Their first unfortunate target did not prove to to be a success as they attacked the French who felt nothing was amiss.
Onward they trekked to competitive sites. Marching into the main arena, their odor was muted by the smell of week-old cheese curds awaiting the garbage disposal. They left to set up a protest camp in the cross country section. With a GPS in hand, the malodorous miscreants pitched their tents and fits.
Unfortunately they ended up on the wrong side of the Men’s Biathlon competition. While the eventual medalists, skilled at precise shooting, were able to avoid S.O.A.P.S., the lone American with a chance to medal could not. Ruly Obliterwitz, a sharpshooter from Northern Wisconsin, mistook the protesters as Laotians encroaching upon his hunting grounds. Before he aimed to pick off a third one, Ruly was subdued by British Columbian Olympic Police Squad.
In unrelated news, the B-COPS will be performing their rendition of Y.M.C.A. complete with loaded weapons in the Olympic Arena for closing ceremonies. Complimentary flack jackets will be handed out by the N.R.A.
Today’s Olympic Event – Women’s Curling
February 19th, 2010 by rick copper | 2 Comments - click to view »Women’s Curling is a relatively new and dramatically exciting sport. At first the older male members of the International Olympic Committee felt women on the ice in a fetal position might be felt as sexist. However, once they were told Women’s Curling would be merely an extension of the classic female sports Women’s Ironing and Women’s Vacuuming, they were won over.
The premier athlete of the sport is Olga Braun, a stout German woman, descendant of Eva Braun (who was known less of a curler, more of a proper of dictatorial idealogy). Olga commands the ice as a tigress commands Siegfried and Roy, only her outfits are not as quite ornate. A sweeper of the highest order, Olga sets a path like no one’s Elsa (her main European nemesis from the Austrian squad), bulking up on a diet of raw eggs, oysters and Little Debbie snack cakes.
Today’s Olympic Event – Speedskating
February 18th, 2010 by rick copper | Click to leave a comment »Speedskating revs up its shiny silver blades for some exciting moments on the ice. What is left out of television coverage are the little-known technicals.
Medals are given out for best times. However, those medals can also be taken away with sloppy technicals. What are these technicals? The pre-skate, more commonly known as the Dressing Period. Contestants are judged in the following categories: speed of putting on one’s skates; tightness of laces; top-tie bow symmetry; cleanliness of skates and sharpness of blade.
Last Olympics, the clear winner was Lars Frederikkkssson of Sweden, narrowly defeating Russian Vlad Nabokov in the sharpness of blade category 10 points to 9.5 with the Canadian judge giving him a 7. To show his disappoint, an incensed Vlad grabbed his then 14 year-old girlfriend, held her left hand aloft then sliced it off with one swoop of his right skate.
This Olympic moment brought to you by Gillette, America’s favorite shaver “look sharp, blade sharp.”
Today’s Olympic Event – Curling
February 17th, 2010 by rick copper | Click to leave a comment »While not widely acknowledged as being the unisex salon of sports, both men and women curl together on a plate of ice. This heralded sport, not known amongst most Americans, has specific positions key to victory. One such position is the Sweeper.
Canada’s team recruited one of the finest. Known for her skills with a broom from her continual membership in the Wiccan Order, this glorified witch came from Alaska. The Olympic Committee, knowing full well Curling needed all of the publicity it could get, allowed this American to join the Canadian Curlers. Her name? Sarah Palin.
Her legendary sweeping pattern being able to shove aside longstanding Republicans as well as any and all logical thought propelled her to the top of the Canadian Curling competitors. It must be noted she was unable to join the United States team as they already had their Sweeper, Nancy Pelosi, in place.
Olympics, Men’s Figure Skating, Short Program
February 16th, 2010 by rick copper | 3 Comments - click to view »Men’s figure skating, the short program, is scheduled to go on tonight. All eyes will be on America’s darling, star of stage and screen, Vern Troyer.
Vern’s engaging personality, as well as his ability to go under miniskirts of Playboy playmates just by walking straight into them, has made him the media sensation of these Vancouver Olympics.
Vern’s program will be a performance of Caligula with the musical combination of composers John Williams and Frank Zappa. Vern is scheduled to hit the ice, after some vodka and ice, around 8:18pm EST.
Olympics, Figure Skating Pears
February 15th, 2010 by rick copper | 1 Comment - click to view »Today rubenesque women with more junk in their trunk than an independent contractor vie for a chance to crush the medal stand.
One competitor stands out. Olga Noleanski McFattus, a Polish girl raised in Scotland, is the senior member of the United Kingdom’s Olympic team. Cracking the scales (and ice) at 420 pounds, her skills on skates are unmatched. Size 4 dainty feet enable her to spin so fast she bores a clean circle right through the ice, plugging up the hole with her largess.
She gives new meaning to the term “double sow-cow.”
