WE’RE TOO GOOD TO MAKE FUN…NO, NO WE’RE NOT.
Remember the final scene in Saving Private Ryan, where the old Ryan looks at his wife and asks her to “tell me I’ve been a good man.” We ask ourselves that question every single day, often over inane things like overuse of office paperclips, interactions with total strangers in traffic (was that a yield? And for me, or them?), and our treatment of animals. (“Definitely neglected the dog by walking them for only twenty minutes today.)
Most days, we’re pretty sure we come out on the high side of decent. However, once we saw this on Have You Met Tony? today, the ledger for February 28th, 2007 must lean into the “nay” category for our own daily Private Ryan rating. We blame society, and are entering rehab for finding glee in the following sports-related name.
Here goes:
Yourhighness Morgan is fortunate. Others…not.

How fitting… a women’s basketball coach named Mangina.

“Mangina guided the squad to a 3-2 record, with both losses at the hands of the French National Team.”
Which proves what I’ve always known…only the French know how to tame and tickle the powerful Mangina. I am glad to see Mangina lead the pirates, though. Mike Leach would be proud. Or something. Yarrr!!!

You never knew about that? You have heard of Muffet McGraw, right? And it’s pronounced differently, of course.
Of course, she’s not to be confused with The Mangina – http://themangina.com/start.html (NSFW!!!)

I can’t believe that this is the first line of her bio:
“The most prominent name in Seton Hall women’s basketball history…”
I’d hate to hear what the not so prominent names sound like. It must read like a demon’s list.

It’s even funnier when you read the parts of the bio that have the words “pirates” and “mangina” in the same sentence. The possibilities are endless for bad puns and MadLibs!

Of course, I should give all the credit to “Tom @ thepalestra.com”, but that bitch stopped blogging, so he can bite it.
Carry on, Coach Mangina.

We had various girls named thusly:
“Horseface” – self explanatory
“Couch Ass” – self explanatory
“Buffet Becky” – she ate a lot
“Swamp Thing” – all imagery right there
“Mufasa” – wild, wild hair
I seem to remember an “Assface” in college, too. Rusty, did you go to UGA?

#39,
Nope, Notre Dame. And it had nothing to do with her looks. One night she got really drunk, along with other of our buddies. So she starts making out with buddy A while on the couch. Buddy B has enough of this, walks over, bends down, pulls down his pants, and slams her face into his ass. She continues to make out with his ass cheek for five seconds before realizing something’s wrong. Thus began “Assface”. Later that night, she tried to tackle Buddy B and stab him with a high heeled shoe.
Ah, college.

Aside from the chick we just called “Psycho” for obvious reasons (and the reason I can no longer listen to Sting OR The Police, thanks to a roomie falling on the grenade…for nobody.), we had a chick with a severe acne problem (or residue thereof) that was simply referred to as “Capone”.
