RANDOM MUSINGS

Well, duh. I mean, come ON….people find all sorts of stuff to complain about. I really like how supposedly the ratings are good JUST because the primetime sports have pretty, toned, athletic people competing. Well, DUH, again.  Isn’t this the Olympics? A worldwide ATHLETIC event?? I did find the commentator funny during the women’s synchronized platform diving last night. The Canadian girls were not the typical tiny divers…they looked like normal girls. Not fat or chunky by any means…but they had thighs, hips, like normal people do. And the commentator kept saying how much harder it is for them to have less splash, and she kind of hesitated and then said “Because they aren’t as streamlined.” Haha…nice way of calling them nonskinny!! I did enjoy this quote from the Houston Chronicle today, about Michael Phelps:

When the 23-year-old swimmer lowered the top of his Speedo LZR Racer suit to a full foot below his navel Sunday night in cheering his teammate in the final leg of the 4X100 relay, he looked like a 21st-century version of Michelangelo’s David. He also veered dangerously close to R-rated territory. Straight women and gay men across the nation were reaching for their smelling salts.
