Olympics update

[trinityvixen]

Having just watched the 200M free, I finally get the hype about Michael Phelps. Because I just watched him swim like a friggin' marlin. He flew. The speed...it boggles.

Alas, the fast suit covers up his nipples. Stupid innovations in sports! You're taking away my vicarious joy of watching one of my favorite body types parading nearly naked!

Then there was the 100M backstroke. The gold and silver both went to Americans. The gold medal winner jokingly backhanded the silver medalist's abs. Simultaneously, feiran and I exclaimed, "I WANT TO DO THAT." Yes, his abs were that amazing.

feiran: YAY HETEROSEXUALITY!!!!


ETA: Phelps stands to collect his gold in his warm ups.
me: TAKE IT OFF!!!
feiran: You totally heckled the Olympics!!!

I think the "it's in your head" aspect is a given regardless.

I forget what we were watching, but darkling1 made some comment or another about how silly some practice was. I assured him that there was a good reason for it, even if the only reason was "because that person thinks it makes him/her better at what he/she does."

I am reminded of the rant from the owner of the Miami Dolphins in Ace Ventura: Pet Detective, "I have a [fill in player here] who has not washed his jockey strap in two years because he thinks flies are lucky." It's like that. Only, it's the Olympics.

Well, there you go. At least we can be relatively sure that the swimsuits are new each time.
