Swimmer Lauren Perdue Turned Down a LeBron James Dinner Invite to the Dining Hall

All, LeBron James, Olympics Stephen Douglas August 1st. 2012, 1:06pm

LeBron James met American swimmer Lauren Perdue last week in the Olympic Village. He understandably took a shining to her asked her to eat with him in the dining hall as “kind of a joke,” according to Perdue. Unfortunately, she had to turn LeBron down because she had a curfew. Perdue attends the University of Virgina. She will swim the 4×200 relay for Team USA.

Apparently she didn’t want to go black, because she’d never go back.

Yeah the lack of attractiveness for the US female swimmers has been noticeable this year. I know Natalie Coughlin is there but she hasnt really done anything. Allison Schmitt has had a great few days but hasnt really generated any buzz due to the fugly factor.

Hehe, hey Lauren, you know what would be hilarious? Let’s sleep together. As a kind of a joke, you know?

Lebron is such a front runner piece of shit. I am suprised he isn’t wearing a hat that says China. Die.

Maybe he counts overall medals, and not just golds.

The manufacturing label says made in China, does that count?

He’s been a Yankee fan since 1996. Definitely not a frontrunner.

So we can all agree Allison Schmidt looks like she has down syndrome right?

I wonder what NBA athlete is doing the best out here? It would be Kobe in a landslide if his future ex-wife had stayed across the pond.

I kind of miss the ’70s. You hear boomers talking about the ’60s sex & drugs & rock ‘n roll cultural upheaval and all that, but the ’70s were like the middle-age-crazy post-divorce who-gives-a-fuck key-party afterbirth of the ’60s. Plus you had KISS and Blow By Blow on the radio.

From what I’ve read, she’s too busy maxing out his credit cards to notice any poon party.
Anyway, if it gets out of hand, he can always buy her another of those $2 million rocks to calm her down.

I agree she does look like she has down syndrome and sounds like it too. She would totally dominate the Special Olympics.
