In honor of Erin Andrews taking a ball off the face on Wednesday, here’s a gallery assembled by Bula Pictures of other people taking a ball, or foot, or dog to the face. Enjoy!

What Can YOUR Vagina Do?
In sports when athletes reaches their 40s it usually is precipitated by a drastic drop-off in skill level. That doesn’t appear to be the case with 41 year-old Russian citizen, Tatiata Kozhevnikova who, after training for 15 years, has entered the Guiness Book of World Records as the greatest Vagina Lifting champion ever after holding a 31 pound weight solely with her lady parts.
This wasn’t something Kozhevnikova always could do, she explains that “After I had a child, my intimate muscles got unbelievably weak. I read books on Dao and learned that ancient women used to deal with this problem using wooden balls, I looked around, saw a Murano glass ball and inserted it in my vagina.” Makes sense to me.
I love the idea that she was sitting in her house and is just looking around for random objects to shove inside herself to tighten up.
The whole process of training is pretty easy she claims, “You insert one of the balls in your vagina, and it has a string attached to it with a little hook at the very end. You fix a second ball onto this hook.” Bing-Bang-Boom, Vagina Lifting champion.
Arthur Manning was on his 36 foot yacht Knight Star in a Royal Channel Islands race when he suffered what he termed an “embarrassing mis-judgement.”
“We’d consulted local charts but didn’t take into account the height of the rocks, or whether there was enough water. The boat ground to a halt and we realised we were grounded — we immediately pulled all the sails down and put on our lifejackets. We both feel terrible … nobody likes hitting rocks, so this was very embarrassing.”
The two men on board were rescued by some French sailors and at high tide the ship was freed from its predicament.
They did not win the race.
In April, Florida International University made the questionable choice of hiring Isiah Thomas as their new men’s basketball coach. The hiring was idiotic; he’s never been a good coach, he’s been terrible in management positions and of course, his personal behavior can be a bit, er, erratic shall we say. Throw in that Thomas was given a 5-year $5 million contract, (although he has said he will donate his first year salary BACK to the school) and the decision makes zero sense. Now, thanks to adding in Thomas’ big money deal, the school is forced to make cutbacks elsewhere. First off, and most horribly, the cheerleading team is being scrapped!
In order for the program to be saved, the cheerleaders need to raise $50,000, which they have been attempting to do via bake sale, bikini car wash (yes!) and of course, a calendar. Now, if only the school had some money lying around, hmmm, if only they didn’t wastefully spend it on a basketball coach who will leave the program in tatters and produce zero success. If only!
Of course, if this turns out to be a move solely to prevent Isiah Thomas from being around cute college co-eds, I
wholeheartedly support it and retract all my criticism.
I think it’s safe to say that culturally, Japan and America are world’s apart; for instance, yesterday was the grand final of the National Rhinoceros Beetle Sumo Championship.
The competition was all atwitter after one of the final “wrestlers” flew out of the arena, and then the larger room, resulting in an instant disqualification.
Around 430 elementary school students took part with their beetles. The winner of each match is determined by which beetle makes it highest up the 70-centimeter pole forming the arena after 60 seconds.
During the final “King Kabuto,” owned by Takuma Kobayashi, 7, started out very strongly; but finally chose freedom over honor at the last moment, leaving “King Joe,” along with owner Shoichiro Ito, 6, to scoop the prize.
Clearly, King Kabuto hasn’t seen the epic Sly Stallone/Pele soccer movie Victory where a group of WWII POWs choose to stay and finish their match against the Nazis rather than escape and lose. For Kabuto, freedom is everything it seems. He must be a Braveheart fan…
At the Mediterranean Games yesterday right before the start of a 200M finals race, 22 year old Italian swimmer Flavia Zoccari was forced to make an embarrassing withdrawal from the race thanks to her swimsuit. The Jaked brand swimsuit, which features a special back-hinge, has been under controversy recently, first it was banned by the FINA the official swimming body, then, last month it was reinstated.
Jaked, who sponsors the Italian swim team was thus able to resupply the team with their specially designed aerodynamic suits. However, right before her race was about to start, the back hinge on Zoccari’s suit broke, leaving her butt exposed to the world. With no time available to change her suit, Zoccari was forced out of the race and reduced to tears.
I don’t understand why she wasn’t able to race anyways, so her ass is hanging out, like we ALL haven’t had to compete in a sporting event where every millisecond counts with at least one of our naughty bits hanging out. Or am I the only one on this one?
Dale Earnhardt has been dead for nearly 7 years now but this weekend at the Goodwood Festival of Speed in Goodwood, England the car he drove in winning his final Cup race will be taken out of the Richard Childress Racing Museum for the first time since 2003. The person tabbed to drive his famed #3 car won’t have to worry about them changing the name on the car, as it is Earnhardt’s now 20-year old daughter (and semi-hottie), Taylor Earnhardt.
Despite never having driven a stock car before, Taylor will drive the car during demonstrations at the festival, with her mother Theresa alongside for the ride.
“It’s very, very exciting,” Taylor Earnhardt said. “I’ve already spent some time in the car getting used to it, and I’m looking forward to the demonstration run. Hopefully, the fans in the United States and around the world will enjoy seeing one of my father’s winning cars participate in this awesome event.”

Bike Gangs Are Dangerous
During a race at the British Speedway in Cardiff two of the motobikers got into a shoving match after their heat. Nothing major happened because the buzz-kills in security came out and separated the two men. I do however, like how as Scott Nichols (White) leaves the arena one of (presumably) Emil Sayfutdinov’s (Blue) crew brushes by him and gives Nichols a shove. Classy.
Just another follow-up to the Donte Stallworth justice system debacle; Lee Monroe Crider, 40, pleaded no contest and received a 3 year prison sentence for second-degree burglary and grand theft for stealing Lance Armstrong’s custom $10,000 bike. Crider’s co-defendant Dung Hoang Le received a 90 day sentence and three years probation on a misdemeanor charge.
That means that for stealing a BICYCLE, one man will be penalized 3 times as much as Donte Stallworth was for KILLING a PERSON, and the other receives a mere 1065 MORE days in prison than Stallworth will be getting. It must be nice to be able to buy your way out of consequences. I officially give up.

The X-Games Back in the Day
Apparently, the urge to be extreme was not first brought to America’s consciousness by Doritos and Mountain Dew; these two videos recorded by Thomas Edison in 1899 and 1901 feature bike riders doing some pretty decent moves. Eat your heart out X-Games wannabes, even better, to these bike riders being “stoked” meant tending to a fire.
Jordy Smith, a 21 year old South African pro surfer was off the coast of Indonesia when he pulled off a that GrindTV.com called “the most high-performance maneuver ever executed on a wave”. The move itself is technically called a Rodeo Flip but I’m sure you already know that. I think the most important thing we can agree on is that surfers (and skaters) are some of the most articulate people in the world and I only wish that more of them were a part of our governments and think tanks.

Working in the Pits is the Pits
Indy car cutie Danica Patrick during a practice run over the weekend in Iowa ran into one of her pit crew members, coming to close to the way and knocking him over. Fortunately, she went over afterwards and it looks like lectured him on why he was wrong. So that’s got to feel good.
