Don't mean to be picky, but is the vastus medialis obliqus the same thing as the vastus medialis? And isnt the the epicodyle part of the bone?

It is important to remember that vastus medialis comprises two parts: the vastus medialis oblique and the vastus medialis longus. The VMO is the only medial patella stabiliser during knee extension and it is deficiency of this part that will allow the patella to drift laterally in extension (Maurer, et. al. 1995).

The VMO is lower bit of the muscle that moves over the top of the kneecap and helps stablise it.

All I know is that femoral epicondyle causes my knee to hurt like the beejessus when the Ilio tibial band snaps back over it.

Yep, epicondyle is a bone structure. You have your two femoral condyles and the epicondyles near them - Sheros' lateral epicondyle would be the one pinching on his iliotibial tract.

As for VMO and VML, VMO is the belly with oblique muscle fibres and VML is the belly with longitudanal muscle fibres.

Not to mention the longus schlongus muscle which connects to the titus ballus sackus backing onto the biggus hairrus anus horribilius muscle. If, and I say if this ever goes on you, then my male friends, you are in very deep trouble.

It's been told that the longus schlongus evolved solely to prove that round pegs only go into round holes. The hole in this case of course being the deepus tunnelus which can be found in the female of the species tucked between the left and right tunnelus flappiolis. Beware the mannusboatus though. Over stimulation of the mannusboattus can lead to flooding, even without the use of Niagra.

Niagra Viagra.
Nigel Vagana.

Apparently Souths reckon one of those will help them get better results next year. Not sure which one it is though.
