Important Olympics Warning
2Athletes complaining of finding worms in their food. What’s next? Snails? https://nypost.com/2024/08/06/sports/uk-olympic-swimmer-adam-peaty-reveals-athletes-have-found-worms-in-the-food-at-2024-paris-games/
On a more serious note, this guy sticks his pole in a hole, launches, then his junk catches on another pole, thus eliminating him from further participation in the Bacchanalia…

And no, I don’t get all my news from The NY Post. Just most of it.

See… this is the reason why I’m not an Olympic athlete, I’ve always been against worms in my food.
@OnionSoup Don’t forget the dental risk of breaking a tooth on your newly-awarded medal.

@806D2701 @OnionSoup I hate that whole medal-biting thing - it’s so dumb.
@806D2701 @Kyeh @OnionSoup Is medal-biting a thing? I haven’t interacted with any Olympic anything in a decade, but I’ve never heard of it. Or is it a meme/joke independent of the Olympics?

@806D2701 @Kyeh @OnionSoup @xobzoo The origin has to be the ancient coin biting thing, but no idea when it mutated to medals. Are Olympic medals often counterfeit?
@806D2701 @blaineg @Kyeh @OnionSoup @xobzoo
@806D2701 @blaineg @OnionSoup @xobzoo The “gold” ones are really gold plated, and silver and bronze can’t be tested with a bite, so it’s just silly!
Worms in their fish? Sacre bleu! How do you think they caught the fish in the first place?
Pole vaulting as a double entendre.
@mehcuda67 Or into a columbarium in Warsaw?
That pole and bulge stuff sounds pretty dirty.
@Dizavid Followed up by the clean and jerk.
