Random Thoughts on the Olympics
Man, I love the Olympics. I have always loved the Olympics. This year, I love the Olympics more than ever, for two principal reasons:
1. Women's Beach Volleyball.
2. TiVo (much as I love the Olympics, I'll always skip Synchronized Swimming or some soft-focus elevator-music report about the daily life of a Ukranian gymnast).
I learned my true calling yesterday, while watching swimming and listening to the commentary on Michael Phelps. He has one relative weakness in the water, but the commentator said that he could cure it with a little focus, and become "the top breast-stroker in the world."
That's what I wanna be when I grow up.
Perhaps a poll: If you could add any sport to the Olympics, what would it be? Since they've already added Women's Beach Volleyball (hosannah, hosannah, hosannah), I think I'd have to pick roller derby.
