Closing Ceremony


I couldn't let the Olympics come to a conclusion without chiming in once again.  Make sure you set your DVR's if there are stars that you enjoy watching compete in everything from ping pong to race walking (I still can't figure out how that doesn't get thrown out).  The Olympics have a way of chewing up and spitting out near 30 year olds like senior citizens at the DMV (make that near 19 year old if you're a gymnast).  I couldn't help but notice that most athletes introductions sound something similar to this "Born in Russia, lives in Orlando, Fl, college in NY, trains in Los Angeles...trying to make her country proud".  Would it be wrong to suggest the US should get credit for 25/50% of those medals at least?  Speaking of the medal count, can we knock it off already?  Will it ever be a contest on who wins the most for any country not named USA or China?  Either that, or let's start awarding gift cards to Wal-Mart for the citizens of the winning country...then feel free to disregard the previous statement.


It may be the cerveza talking but this commercial gets me every time they've shown it during the commercial breaks.



100% honesty.  Have you seen a better routine than this??  Eat your heart out flying squirrel.


Finally, here's a quick vid I put together of some of the highlowlights from things I've seen in the various events.
