  <body>&lt;p&gt;I&amp;#39;m glad to see that the long layoff didn&amp;#39;t dull the Peanut Gallery&amp;#39;s rapier-like wit. Terrific work as always on the WYOJ contest. Here are September&amp;#39;s results:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Topic 1&lt;/strong&gt;: &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;quot;&lt;strong&gt;LeBron James&lt;/strong&gt; was beaten soundly yesterday in two games of H-O-R-S-E by a warehouse worker on an outdoor court at Venice Beach. __________.&amp;quot;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Winner&lt;/strong&gt;: &amp;quot;And after the game, LeBron quietly bought the warehouse and fired the guy.&amp;quot; (&lt;strong&gt;Skooter&lt;/strong&gt;)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Honorable Mention&lt;/strong&gt;: &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;quot;He also lost to &lt;strong&gt;Mario Chalmers&lt;/strong&gt; and &lt;strong&gt;Darrell Arthur&lt;/strong&gt; in a game of &amp;lsquo;M-A-R-I-J-U-A-N-A.&amp;#39;&amp;quot; (&lt;strong&gt;Rickapolis&lt;/strong&gt;)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;quot;LeBron was flummoxed by the union warehouse worker&amp;#39;s insistence on 15-minute breaks between shots.&amp;quot; (&lt;strong&gt;mgbode&lt;/strong&gt;)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;quot;King James immediately said that his team needed better players.&amp;quot; (&lt;strong&gt;Anthony Verna&lt;/strong&gt;)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;quot;LeBron apparently thought they were playing Canadian Rules H-O-U-R-S-E.&amp;quot; (&lt;strong&gt;Mark G&lt;/strong&gt;)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;quot;Of course, that&amp;#39;s the Douay version of events; the King James version ends differently.&amp;quot; (&lt;strong&gt;Martel&lt;/strong&gt;)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;quot;We haven&amp;#39;t seen a defeat at H-O-R-S-E that bad since &lt;strong&gt;Catherine the Great&lt;/strong&gt;.&amp;quot; (&lt;strong&gt;manta&lt;/strong&gt;)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;quot;LeBron then regained his self-esteem by challenging the worker to a game of B-A-N-K.&amp;quot; (&lt;strong&gt;MotownHogFan&lt;/strong&gt;)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;quot;He comforted himself with the quiet confidence that he aced the K-R-Z-Y-Z-E-W-S-K-I test.&amp;quot; (&lt;strong&gt;Brian K Jones&lt;/strong&gt;)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;quot;In other NBA news, &lt;strong&gt;Stephon Marbury&lt;/strong&gt; was beaten by a female intern in a game of Rock, Paper, Scissors.&amp;quot; (&lt;strong&gt;Zowie&lt;/strong&gt;)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;quot;Apparently the warehouse worker&amp;#39;s college degree enabled him to out-spell King James handily.&amp;quot; (Martel; others&amp;nbsp;including &lt;strong&gt;hemo&lt;/strong&gt; also riffed on the college angle)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Topic 2&lt;/strong&gt;:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;quot;The IOC is investigating the silver and bronze medalists in the Olympic hammer throw, both from Belarus, for suspected doping offenses. __________.&amp;quot;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Winner&lt;/strong&gt;: &amp;quot;The tell-tale needle marks became evident when their pants, like those of many men who wield hammers for a living, slid down a bit too far.&amp;quot; (&lt;strong&gt;Tim in NY&lt;/strong&gt;)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;quot;Suspicion arose when the two athletes threw the hammer using only their teeth.&amp;quot; (&lt;strong&gt;Midvalley&lt;/strong&gt;)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;quot;The first clue was when the athletes threw their arms off with the hammers.&amp;quot; (AV)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;quot;Initial reports indicate the two had high alcohol levels, but that&amp;#39;s to be expected in &amp;lsquo;White Russians.&amp;#39;&amp;quot; (&lt;strong&gt;Caveman HC6&lt;/strong&gt;)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;quot;The IOC was tipped off when the commission received photographs of the Belarussians doing carpentry at &lt;strong&gt;Jose Canseco&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;#39;s house.&amp;quot; (Tim in NY)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;quot;The Belarus throwers were later cleared of doping when it was determined the greater distances were due to throwing Chinese gymnasts rather than hammers.&amp;quot; (&lt;strong&gt;RedWing314&lt;/strong&gt;)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;quot;The IOC became suspicious when the two medalists had six ears between them.&amp;quot; (Rickapolis)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;quot;The Swedish gold medalist, &lt;strong&gt;Thor&lt;/strong&gt;, is not under any suspicion.&amp;quot; (Martel)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;quot;The IOC became suspicious when they realized that all the hammers in Belarus had been recycled into plowshares years ago.&amp;quot; (gill)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;quot;There was no comment from the gold medalist, who is from Belalugosi.&amp;quot; (Rickapolis)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;quot;The gold medal winner was cleared of all suspicion, being Chinese.&amp;quot; (Martel; Caveman HC6 and Midvalley also worked a similar angle)&lt;/p&gt;</body>
