Dallas Summer Olympics Report

Lots of gymnastics bets being taken at the Celeste home right now. In a huge upset, Elizabeth “Spider Monkey” Lavin beat Tim Rogers in the main event of the evening, the crowd-pleasing, ratings-grabbing “Who Can Walk Farther On Hands” event. (In a sudden death, one-time final, she took two steps, he took one and fell onto his belly.) Afterward, he bested Lavin in the “Who Can Do More Chin-Ups” competition, 4-2. (He then lost $20 to yours truly, by stupidly betting I couldn’t do eight chin-ups. Horrible bet. Have you seen how ripped I am? Seriously.) The injury you see here was the result of his first hands walk, in which he dismounted onto my dining chairs. I know it looks like he has two knees, but that bump is in the middle of his shin. And getting bigger. Next up: uneven barstools.

    Update: You’re not going to believe this, but it keeps … getting … bigger. BTW: Wick, when you ask for posts at all hours, this is what you get. This and increased insurance rates for staff.

    He should put a bandage over that tattoo.

  • amanda

    The bravery and dedication of Team DM inspires me. You have to ice a blunt force injury silly rabbit.

    My only question is can we expect a doping scandal?

    Please, please do trike races. Live strong.

  • Puddin'Tane

    Forget the tattoo…is that a clubfoot?

  • Jeff Duffey

    I give it a 7.8. I docked him and extra 3/10 of a point for the StarKist Tuna tattoo. If the wound gets so big his skin actually explodes and an alient comes out of it then I will give it a 9.5.

  • Davie Dave

    Rub some dirt on it and get back out their ya p***y.

  • Obvious Man

    Worst. Tat. Evah.

    Tim Rogers’ ankle is where the wild things are?

  • DM

    Someone please make another post above this one, I’m trying to eat breakfast at my desk here.

  • Tim Rogers

    It really breaks my heart to have trained so hard for four years and not won a metal medal. I let Team USA down, and I’ll have to live with that. (And I’m sorry about the tattoo, too.)

  • amandacobra

    Metal? Badass.

  • Bethany

    Well, Gold is metal…

  • Marci

    is that a….frog wearing a crown trying to surf???

    All men wish they could say “it keeps getting bigger”….and mean it.

  • Deron

    Hey Tim - Good luck and I hope you get some hot nurses.

  • Dr. Freud

    Hmmm. Might I suggest that each of you D types considers taking the MAST screening?

  • amandacobra

    I just wish someone would lance that thing already. It’s really creeping me out.

  • Jack E. Jett

    I’m just wondering..is that someone holding a large breast in the background?

  • El Rey

    I have a bump like that on each bicep, just larger. I point them out to the ladies as I invite them to my ‘gun show’.

    Booyaa!

  • Don't tell my mother

    Good suggestion, Dr. Freud. I was wondering why no one had pointed out the martini glass and bottle of vodka on the table where his foot is propped up. I speak from experience. I got a knot the same size and location falling down some steps while in a similar condition 20 years ago and still have no feeling in that spot.

  • Sangy Farha

    I think that’s an Ozarka bottle, dude. Plus, it’s a school night, for crying out loud. It’s doesn’t take booze for these cats to lose their minds, particularly when limited physical skills are being challenged. Trust me, they are sober ******.

    I’m just waiting for the somewhat controversial leg wrestling pictures.

  • James

    Pour a little “Cactus Juice” on it.

  • jrp

    arm wrestling over on UP and leg wrestling here on FB…everybody getting amped up for some Greco-Roman Olympic style or what??

    and my new favorite South Park bit and my new fantasy football team name: Scissor Me Timbers

    find your own clip

  • Tim Rogers

    @ Dr. Freud: As Sangy Farha noted, that was a water bottle. And for the record, while that MAST test is certainly something I will clip and save, I don’t need to be squiffed to take a $25 bet that involves walking on my hands. Until last night, I considered myself an above-average hand walker.

  • Dr. Freud

    Hmmm. And how are you feeling about that?

  • Eric Celeste

    Leg-wrestling pics do exist. Not sure why they would be controversial. I won, best two of three. Spider monkey lost. Thank goodness. My wife wouldn’t stay with a guy who can’t beat a girl leg-wrestling.

  • SLR

    Any leg-wrestling pics where Spider Monkey is wearing a Catholic schoolgirl’s outfit?

  • Eric Celeste

    Tim and I took the MAST test. We passed. No drinking problem. And I think that also means we are very, very honest with ourselves. Off to the Monk.
