Signs For Sick Minds

As you near the parking lot entrance for a place I run at regularly, there is a sign similar to the above. I don't notice it so much anymore, but for awhile every time I saw it I would snicker and make pelvic thrust motions to indicate a "speed hump". Yes, I have the mind of a 14 year old boy. No, that's not fair, I apologize to the 14 year old boys of the world.

Clean Sheet (Of Ice), Dirty Minds, Part II

So periodically you may have noticed I snicker (juvenile-ly ... that's a word, right ;) at some of the commentary during hockey games. The other night I found another to add to my previous snickers. "He just needs to get it deep and get off." Heh heh heh. Not quite as bad as a 2007 post where I quoted Healy on Fleury with the "spends half the night on his knees, half on his back" comment, but still.

Another fairly recent one that got me chuckling was when I was watching a broadcast and they mentioned hockey players need to be careful nowadays because everything is recorded. They then mentioned Vancouver Canucks players Kesler & Burrows learned this after some of their comments made it to YouTube. Of course I had to go check that out. Vancouver was playing St. Louis at the time and they were talking to David Backes. There was some comment about "saying hi to Kelly" and "Kelly being a nice girl" (I suspected and later confirmed that this was Backes' wife/girlfriend). Now normally I would probably think that was a bit low, but seeing as they didn't say (or at least not that I know about) anything too rude, it was kind of funny. But another piece of that segment on YouTube was the comment "give yer balls a tug!". I don't even know who said that, but it cracked me up. Since then, I've thrown it into casual conversation a couple of times. One such time a female friend and I texted a mutual friend with "we're about to have a beaver fight, so give yer balls a tug and get over here" (don't ask - it's not quite as bad as it might sound). I think my mind needs a Zamboni, sheesh.
