Olympics prattle, nothing more
Since apparently they don't want us to do so (see
rivkat and jay allen), I'm linking to the Athens 2004 site. I really do have Olympic fever, or at least a head cold, so I'm kind of pleased to rankle and celebrate all at once...

rolling: And, speaking of Olympics, while we were watching with
gothphyle, Bob Costas made a strangely timed phrase, confusing both Alee and myself a bit. He announced that there was a brand-new sport for this round of the Games, and then he paused a beat and said, "Rolling." Now, I'm 100% positive at this point, that he was faux-commanding the action to be taken with the tape of women's (scary!) wrestling that followed, but Alee and I continued to wait for the introduction of the mysterious rolling competition.
In any case, for the next Summer Games, watch for Alee and I forming the U.S. Women's Rolling Team and doing exhibition runs on a grassy, daisy-dappled hillside outside the gymnastics hall. At least until we get arrested.
peripheral vision alert! Ooh! Diving boys! Watching some nearly-naked sleek specimen plunge into the water, suddenly I have the Psychedelic Furs doing Into You Like a Train in my head...
judging books by their covers: Did anyone else think that Jeremy Wariner, who won the men's 400, looked a bit Travis Bickle-ish? Scrawny white guy with crazy, close-set eyes and a prominent sense of personal grandeur - plus, he trains in Waco, which I ignorantly persist in believing is a wellspring of dangerous zealotry. I'm just happy he found running as an outlet...

How demented am I for thinking that this had something to do with marijuana cigarettes?

Except aren't all the potheads in the Winter Games? After all, there aren't any snowboarders in the Summer Games ;)
