Ex-Cane Lauryn Williams

The adorable 5'3" sprinter from the University of Miami, Lauryn Williams, failed yet again in the women's 4x100m relay race, when she and Torri Edwards bobbled the baton.

Afterwards, with crackling voice, told the NBC reporter, "Someone must have a voodoo doll of me".

Well, Obeah is the Jamaican voodoo. Just sayin'...

And speaking of Jamaica, can we send Tropical Storm Fay there? Maybe then she'd learn how to haul arse quicker out of Florida. Jeez. 20-30 inches so far. That's Noah's Ark proportions.

Still, considering all the catastrophes around the Olympics, at least we're not this poor Hungarian weightlifter, much the worse for wear after his lift.

DO NOT VIEW IF YOU'RE SQUEAMISH.

I WARNED YOU.

LAST CHANCE.



Yeah, I know. Romanian gypsy curse.

UPDATE: Over at Althouse, the blogger uses a word called "sledgehammer" when she wishes to cudgel her commenters over the head with a point they obviously didn't get.

Here's my sledgehammer:

Do not ever show your country, through your comments, in anything but a positive light. When you wilfully misunderstand a post, due to oversentimental nationalism, due to being the underdog the whole of your life, and see insults were NONE were given in earnest, you look stupid, and worst of all, Third Worldish.

That is unforgiveable. You will never be taken seriously as a nation, if you do that. Touchiness is for losers.

So do not come to this blog and let down your side here. I refuse to let you embarrass your countrymen in any way.
