The heartwarming Cinderella story of the Jamaican ‘Pretendin’ to Get Shot and Fallin’ Off the Divin’ Board’ team of the ended abruptly, when their lead “faller”, Barbados Slim, was actually shot by a jealous romantic rival as he came off the board. Oddly enough, his scores for that fall were 1.9, 2.2, 1.6, 10.0, 0.8; yielding an Olympic average of 1.9, thus ending the Olympic hopes of this plucky team. ---

Jethro Jasmine Yarramalong Ichabod Sebastian Jean-Luc Robertson “Kentucky Plucky” Phartuccio-Marley, deputy team captain of the Jamaican ‘Pretendin’ to Get Shot and Fallin’ Off the Divin’ Board’ team at the time of Slim’s death, was allergic to water and thus of very little use to the team. His career total score was 0.0000 (some records carry the zeroes to the tenth decimal place). ---

Busta “Jamaica Jerk” Ramone was the number 3 guy on the team and was a young, up and coming competitor in the Pretending to Get Shot and Dramatically Falling Off the Diving Board Into the Pool competition. He was poised to win his first medal at the 1990 Olympic games capturing scores of 8.5, 9, 9.1, and 8.14159 until the Russian judge Anton “Cliff” Andropov controversially scored him a 0 arguing that his Pretending to Get Shot and Dramatically Falling Off the Diving Board Into the Pool form actually looked more like Pretending to Get Stabbed by a Rapier and Dramatically Falling Off the Diving Board Into the Pool. Arguments ensued, the International Olympic Committee attempted to intervene by dropping Andropov’s score and entering the first alternate’s judge’s score. That judge, well known swimming pool shark Siberia Fats refused to clear Andropov’s score, crushing Ramone’s dreams and placing his entry as a sour footnote in Olympic Pretending to Get Shot and Dramatically Falling Off the Diving Board Into the Pool competition. ---

The Pretending to Get Shot and Dramatically Falling Off the Diving Board Into the Pool competition was inspired by the 1972 attack of the Palestinian terrorist group Black September on Israeli athletes during the diving competition. Having been trained since birth on what to do in case of a terrorist attack, the Israeli divers had no opportunity to find cover and take up arms while getting ready to dive, so they used the “Play אופוסום” maneuver and faked getting shot. They even had blood squibs tucked in their swim trunks and broke them open as they were falling. Olympic organizers decided to leave that part out of the competition due to the expense and time in cleaning the pools between dives. ---

Too soon. Olympic organizers are already planning for the first Lunar Olympics in 2040, the first Martian Olympics in 2060, and the first Alpha Centauri Olympics in, well, God knows when.

Accordingly, Blawnox, PA, will be hosting the first ever No-Lympics in late March of 2019. Only sports (or activities) not featured in the Olympic Games will be allowed. Blawnox’s own Pieter MacGregor is a solid contender for the mumblety-peg gold. (Okay, gold foil.) ---

Bronze is primarily an alloy of copper and tin, but other elements can be combined, depending on usage. In recent years, Silicon Bronze has made a resurgence to prevent leakage from breast augmentations. Actress Angelina Phartuccio favored silicon bronze breast implants because they’re resistant to salt water, as she frequently dives in Acapulco Bay. ---

Blawnox PA water meter reader Rod Genenberry claims to have been the actual first inventor of _Star Trek_. Since Russians had been experimenting with launching monkeys into Earth’s orbit before sending up humans, Genenberry thought they could be used for spacecraft as well, and conceived of a show where actual chimps would wear astronaut outfits with their speaking roles overdubbed by human actors. The commander of the craft _USS Bananaz_ would have been Captain Chim Chim, assisted by First Mate Koko and Helmsman Bubbles. The Monkey Module would have broken from Earth’s orbit and sailed off to distant parts of the galaxy, exploring new worlds and getting involved in hilarious hijinks with astonished aliens. Unfortunately, _Lost In Space_ had already been greenlighted, and no networks were interested. Genenberry went on to buy his own monkeys and produce the show himself, but came down with methane poisoning from all the poo flinging. ---

Chim-Chim, Koko and Bubbles were then bought by the owner of a Florida roadside zoo, who hit upon the idea of having them perform as Amos, Andy and the Kingfish. Despite multiple lawsuits and court orders, the show continued for years on the underground traveling circuit where it was a huge hit with white supremacist audiences. This ended when their owner was found torn apart and eaten by the trio. An order to have them put down was cancelled on the grounds of extenuating circumstances, and in later years they were adopted by singer Michael Jackson.
