Olympic observations

  • I'm finally starting to see some wrinkles on Bob Costas in his gazillionth Olympic emergence from hibernation.
  • Shaun White would make a beautiful drag queen.
  • I mistakenly thought a female German pairs skater was black with fake blonde hair when in fact she had normal blonde hair and a very fake tan.
  • Spending over half an hour on long distance speed skating is not ok. Body condoms are not a good look.

Non-Olympic observations:

  • I've decided that Washington state has the coolest city names, such as Enumclaw, Puyallup and my favorite, Sammamish. Illinois comes in second with cute sounding cities like Skokie, Joliet and Peoria.
  • Hyphenating your kids' names is bad enough, but double hyphenation (such as Smith-Jones-Mitchell) should most certainly be considered child abuse. I came across a name like this at work, and I can't imagine he's ever filled out a form where there has been enough room. If I had a name like this, I would call my parents and bitch them out every time I had to write it.
