Former elite Australian national swimmer Simon Partridge has retired from swimming at 21 and has decided to “let his hair down”. Apparently this includes dropping trou to show off a G-string with a donkey face right over his goods to his friends while on a train. That incident offended the other passengers a bit and got him arrested and fined over a thousand dollars for his discretion. Best thing about his crime? He had just gotten arrested 4 days earlier and was out on bond.

So, for as much flack as Michael Phelps has gotten in the past year…i mean, least he hasnt done this? Although, you can’t fault a man for wanting to rock a donkey g string. Who hasn’t felt the allure of wanting to wear a thin pair of g stringed undergarments with an animal on ? Am I right or am I right? Wait…I’m not right. Damn.

Its difficult to really understand what on EARTH announcer Willie Oviedo was thinking when he came up with this Anchorman like Olympics history lesson.

This is just hilarious.

We have several Australian stories in the pipeline so we figure we’ll just give them to you in one post. Don’t expect this again. There’s nothing daily about this.

Chad Reed Is One Hard Muthafucka

Australian supercross star Chad Reed is better or dumber than you. He checked himself out of the hospital with a broken shoulder after suffering an accident during a practice run at an AMA Supercross race in Detroit. Did we mention he was “vomiting more blood than [he] had ever seen in his life” after flying over his handlebars?

Reed checked out and returned to compete in the race.

Because of AMA Supercross regulations, the series leader was unable to take anything stronger than oral painkillers. He pulled off after two laps, unable to go on, and was again forced out of the last-chance qualifier. But to gain entry into the main event, Reed used his provisional entry option, which allows for a rider within the top 10 in points to advance directly to the final.

He was brought down in the first turn of the 20-lap race but remounted his Yamaha in 21st spot and embarked on what commentators described as one of the most memorable rides in supercross history. Pushing his way through the pain of a broken shoulderblade, Reed passed half the field to finish 12th and maintain a strong points lead.

And there you are bitching and moaning about that 7th prairie fire shot. Suck it up.

Speaking Of Cheap Shots

AFL player Barry Hall knows all about them. The Sydney player is in serious trouble with the Australian Football League after a cheap shot on West Coast’s Brent Staker during a game this past weekend.

Hall could It be suspended for at least six weeks. It’s just as well because he broke his wrist on some advertising boards in addition to taking out two West Coast players.

Simon Cowley Update

We recently brought you the sad story of former Australian swimmer Simon Cowley who was slobberknockered by current swimmer Nick D’Arcy.

Cowley is now eating through a straw and had five titanium plates permanently inserted into his face. D’Arcy is facing charges but his place on the Australian Olympic team is still up in the air.
