I am a big tennis fan and Brad Gilbert is the master at coming up with bizarre nicknames and quotes.

It means the author isn't very good at turning a phrase. Unless there was an ugly crack whore on top of him at the time.
Heard two good ones watching some FCS level football, they had some of the B team out there commenting.
"seeing him run is like watching someone run in the olympics" err.....or a nice kickoff return
"you could hang clothes off that pass" yeah.....
"Nasty gash" I think we all know what's going on here. 
It reminds me of today's football commentators who speak in footballese that most of us don't know what the hell it means.
I have always remembered what a writer from Autocar heard in an elevator. Two guys in the middle of a conversation got on and then off again before he could find out anything more (such as a context, for example) but what he heard was, "Well, I could try it, I guess, but it wouldn't help. That woman couldn't find her way to the sea on the Isle of Wight."
I caught a couple of minutes of a downhill mountain bike race a few years ago. I don't know the location, except for that it was weaving across ski slopes and the announcers were British. The winner was going last, and he had everyone beat by at least five seconds coming out of the last split. Also, his chain was gone. As he came into the finish, the announcer said (well, yelled, really), "[so and so] can't even SIT DOWN his balls are so big!"
"No matter where you go, there you are," has always been one of my favorites.
Build a man a fire and he'll be warm the rest of the day. Set a man on fire and he'll be warm the rest of his life.

This is my standard answer when ever someone says "Where were you?" in that tone that implies I should have been present for whatever they were doing. Thanks Kimi!

This is the guy who had total control lock up on an F-100. Stuck in a climbing left turn, he modulated the throttle to drift the fighter away from downtown Los Angeles, finally punching out over the Pacific Ocean.
One I read just yesterday, in this article: Hackaday article about a new integrated circuit
"History doesn’t repeat itself, but it is the franchise with the most reboots."
Seems like my favorite quotes all seem to come from Harlan Ellison:
“You are not entitled to your opinion. You are entitled to your informed opinion. No one is entitled to be ignorant.”
“The two most common elements in the universe are Hydrogen and stupidity.”
“If you make people think they're thinking, they'll love you; but if you really make them think, they'll hate you.”
"Love ain't nothing but sex misspelled."
