Tibia or not Tibia, that is the question.

When I first heard about the Winter Olympic sport of Skeleton I thought, "Where did they dig this sport up?" But it turns out that this was a bone afide Olympic sport nearly a half a century ago (54 years to be exact...that is a bit of tibia for you).
I just watched the event, and saw the competitor who won the Cold Medal in by a marrow margin (just fractures of a second!). One of the commentators said that there is a world cup circuit for Skeleton but their winnings are small compared to other sports so they are pretty much doing this all pro bone-o.
For those of you who think that skeleton is easy you have been seriously misled. It takes a lot of skull to do this spine-tingling sport. Unlike the things that you strap on your feet and then ischium down the hill, you have to lay on your tummy as you sled down the run. I think I would femur comfortable knowing that I had a soft cushion of snow to land in rather than the bone-crunchingly hard ice of the skeleton run. If you don't take the curves just right it can coccyx several seconds on your time. I think Skeleton is going to turn out to be a hip new sport. They probably won't get as much ribbing as the lugers do.
I hope you found this piece humerus.

Hitting your funny bone is humerus.

Break a bone today and you'll hurt to marrow.

The pirate went to the Apple store to buy an iPatch!

A pirate walks into a bar with a paper towel on his head. The bartender says, "What's with the paper towel?"

The pirate says, "Arrr! I've got a Bounty on me head!"

After landing on a cannibal inhabited island, pirates eventually found a market where various body parts were piled up for sale.
Browsing along a line of various body parts, one pirate asked a cannibal how much a particular pile of head parts would cost.
The cannibal replied, " A buck an ear".

I make no bones about the fact that post 6962 was amazing!

I split my sides, now I'm 2 faced

sticks of Calcium dancing ? must be hip bones

I'm listening to "La Gioconda." The hippos are coming onto the stage to do the dance of the hours. It promises to be heavy listneing.

do they stay nearby ? in a hypo-campus

Of horse they do!

in filly-delphia

They learn to dance using oc-colt methods.

neigh lad, your zombie kidding

dancing hippos sure is a sight worth seeing

but you haven't seen anything till you have seen the dance of the seven whales

I doubt that I'd want to see that on porpoise.

I've often wondered about the strange machines that various workers have to operate.

An organ grinder, for instance. The teeth would have to be tough in order to chew up the frame and the keys.

Or how about a taxi dancer? It's hard enough designing a taxi that works for its main purpose. Making it dance must be harder still.

A stage coach is another exotic performer. The theater would need extra wide doors to allow the coach to come in.

Thanks Paul.

Greengrocers earn a meager celery, come home beet and just want to read the pepper, take a leek, turnip the covers endive into bed.

You gotta be careful of corn at night. They can be early creepy with their husky voices and seedy appearance. Why, they even cob right out and tell you to shuck it right to your face.
