A perfect "10"
Well it's that time of year again. Oh yeah. You know it. The Summer Olympics.
As I sit here and type this I'm listening to all that gobble-d-goop leading up to the opening ceremonies. And I think of how into the games I usually am. This year I really didn't think I would be into it. What with all the stupid crap going on with China and their censorship and whatnot.
But this isn't a political statement I'm making here. It's about the competition. The medals. (Be they gold, silver or bronze.) It's about rooting for some miniature girl from Wisconsin trying to win for her country. It's about Kobe Bryant (apparently.) It's wondering whether or not someone will fall, trip, smack their heads, or get hurt in general.
It also has a lot to do with the opening ceremony. A lot. 3-and-a-half hours? Zoinks!!!
It's about track and field. Running. Jumping. Skipping. Hurdling. Throwing.
SWIMMING!!! Holy mackerel! If I was in half the shape these folks are in.
And then of course there are those sorry sots that got ripped off buying tickets to the games. I'd hunt someone down and hurt them. Seriously. Painfully.
Well...everything is set to begin in about 5 minutes. I better get going.
In actuality it's all about women's beach volleyball. Hot, sweaty, half-naked women battling out for dominance on the beach.
My wife isn't reading this, is she?

I agree... And as I sit and watch the drumming, (about 500 guys, I was just flipping thru, and that caught my eye.) all I can think is that this is soooooo cool... I watch people stay in sync all the time (my kids are in cheer, have been for years) but THAT was awesome.. It gave me the chills. Have a great day... GO USA!!!!!

If you think you can snag one of those half dressed, sweaty women on the sand, by all means go ahead. Just remember that you then have to come home and deal with me. Yes, I was reading it.
