Its Ok, I Know You’re Upset

No, despite all appearances, Deuce of Davenport is still an active and fully functioning blog. This is just our annual end of the year break. You see, our day jobs require us to bill a certain amount of hours every year. Some years we make the hours early, most we don’t and have to scramble. With the holidays and the end of the year billing requirements, yes, the blog suffers.

Fret not though, we’ll be back and business will be as usual in the coming new year. 2010…year the Deuce blows up!

These Seem Safe


Saw this while reading the always great Cheap Seats Daily by Dave McKenna and I just had to post it here. Carpet slides? Lets take the fun of sliding on a hardwood floor and do it on carpets too! Holy hell. How in the world did these things make it to market? How many things can go wrong here? Rug burn, sprained ankles, broken legs and i’m sure something like this

If these can be on the market, might as well bring jarts back. I want my lawn darts!

Soccer Not Allowed!

Wut?

Olympic Weightlifter Lifts Weight, Drops Baby


 Elizabeth Poblete is a 22 year old Olympic weighlighter from Chilie. She is one strong woman, she can definitely lift more weight than you can that’s for sure as you can see above.  Unfortunately for Poblete, she might not be the smartest person because she apparently forgot she had sex 9 months ago and she apparently forgot to use any birth control and she apparently forgot she was supposed to have a period.  She apparently didn’t notice any of the signs of a pregnancy at all because while she was lifting weights the other day in Brazil, training for the Olympics…she gave birth to a baby boy.  Whoops!  Her bad!


Talk about a tailor made case for that TLC show “I Didn’t Know I Was Pregnant”. Yes, this is an actual show.  This is apparently such a common occurrence that there are enough women out there to fill an entire season’s worth of episodes.   Well now they have a good start to season 2.  Just for fun…watch these clueless women tell their stories of how they had no idea a being was growing inside them.
