25 August 2008 Olympic observations
So the Olympics are over. I am definitely not a big sports watcher, but the Olympics generally make for good background viewing when doing dishes, etc. A couple observations:
- The Russian track and field women are hot! Apparently Anna Kournikova and Maria Sharapova are only the tip of the Slavic athletic beauty iceberg. Who knew? Pity about the whole Georgia thing.
- Synchronized swimming and rhythmic gymnastics are abominations before man and god, the public or private practice of which should be punishable by law.
- Call me a cosmopolitan liberal elitist, but people who get all hot and bothered about whether someone wins a sport merely because the athlete hails from the same country as themselves deserve to be classified taxonomically somewhere under the baboon.
