gold diggers

so i've been watching the olympics and i have to admit it's actually really entertaining/exciting this year.i even yelled at my tv out loud a couple of times just like my dad does when he's watching football.

i know everyone is all super hyped about michael phelps. and they should be-the guy is amazing! however i'm fairly certain he's the product of some kind of genetic experiment in which his mother mated with a marlin or something.Some ichthyologists need to get together with fox mulder and start studying this man.

the swimmer who gets the gold for being a stone cold fox however is ryan lochte. have you seen this guy?


other amusements mid-olympics:
during one of the swim meets: a swimmer named tancock competed with a swimmer named beavers.
one of the trampoline athletes was named dong dong (nevermind the fact that trampoline is an actual olympic sport?!).that's right-first name dong.last name dong. possible relation to long duck dong?


somehow despite the cheating chinese team (CLEARLY underage!!) and the obviously biased votes and the ridiculous new scoring system, nastia liukin (i could go on for hours on how bad i feel for a girl whose parents actually named her nastia) of the us women's gymnastics team took home the gold. that reminded me of the chemical brothers video for "elektrobank".directed by spike jonze starring his then-wife sofia coppola.


i wonder why none of the girls competing in the olympics actually have decent songs they use for the floor exercises.or even if not *decent* songs then at least modern songs or songs that maybe they would listen to in their personal lives. i'd be interested to see the choreography to something other than random classical music.


also in honor of the olympics i thought i'd just rehash one of my favorite youtube videos.
the hipster olympics.


the first time i saw this was after a hangover standing outside sunglasses on smoking a cigarette with unwashed hair. i looked like i could have been in it.
