Your ass smells like ass

Amonte has been on the wrestling team for the past two years. The first year I was extremely pregnant and worked every weekend. Anyone who has ever been to a wrestling meet knows that they last ALL day and are generally on Saturdays. Needless to say I missed several. However, at one meet I watched the entire team of pubescent boys and girls with questionable hygiene SHARE the same pair of nail clippers with out sanitizing them in between. After I had a grandmal seizure I called the school to bitch and promptly bought Amonte his own pair.

Last year Amonte got a new coach. You know one of those really short guys who was an all state wrestler and thinks he's a total bad ass. Amonte broke his hand shortly after the season began so luckily I only had to tell the coach off twice.

The thing about wrestling is that it is a dirty, homoerotic sport, where 1/2 naked boys and sometimes girls grope each other and share body fluids. They also share huge nasty cooties like MERSA, other forms of staph, ring worm and herpes viruses. MMMMMM. NICE.

Well Amonte's midget coach was allowing 2 teenage girls to clean the mats with the wrong type of cleanser no less. Several boys on the team contracted staph infections including Amonte. One had a form of respiratory MERSA and nearly died.

This is why tonight I am blogging from Amonte's hospital room. For the past few months he has been battling huge, nasty abscesses on his hind end. The current one is so bad that he will be going to surgery tomorrow. I love this kid with all my heart but I have seen his ass more than Mark's lately. Thanks coach.

  1. With all the buzz in the news about MRSA you would think schools and the like would catch on! Dear hubby had to have a surgical I & D for an abscess in his knee . . . seems the occupational health doctor who gave him the coritsone injection wasn't cleaning the shared vials of lidocaine correctly. That kept him out of work for 3 months - thank God for worker's comp.

    Hope Amonte's ass is better soon!

  11. I knew there was a reason I was overjoyed when my stepson said he didn't want to wrestle anymore. I just felt bad watching him get his ass kicked every match, I didn't even think of the cooties, but that was before MRSA was running rampant.
