8/8/08

Unlike a certain misanthrope I know, I am fired up for the Olympics. This morning, while getting ready for work, I was watching the USA basketball team play against Austrilia. Yes, the Olympics are only a few short days away. I have a few comments about the upcoming Olympics.

- What was Michael Phelps thinking when he grew that fu man chu? Is this his version of resistance training?
- Losing Paul Hamm is going to hurt the US gymnastics team in a big way. Why are we not hearing more about this?
- Will this US basketball team win gold? I think so but why is Jason Kidd starting? He is too old and can not play defense.
- Could I beat the 400m gold winner (in track) if I started at the 200m mark? I think it would be embarrassingly close.

FYI - I want everyone to get into the cartoon mood for tomorrow's top 5!

It would be awesome to watch you race the 400m dude from the 200m mark...

Marlene says you would lose. I would tend to agree with her. The nice thing is, you can totally test this out. Head to the track with a stopwatch and try it out.

Country Music, a BMW, and the Olympics? I don't even know who you are anymore.
