Olympic Spirit!

Two things relating to the Winter Olympics.

  • The husband has suddenly taken to watching curling every day. Now, the husband grew up in freakin' Iowa: like most people who grew up south of the forty-fifth parallel, he has absolutely no idea what is going on in this game. It's not like he cares, though, either. At five o'clock, he's in front of the tee vee, watching and rooting on whichever American team is playing. Currently the women's team is playing Sweden.

    I wonder if these two have had any influence on his decision to watch.

    Methinks the answer is "yes." I believe his nonchalance was feigned when I told him they weren't twins.

  • Bryant Gumbel is a racist sack of shit.

Yeah, the hot sisters are the reason why you're husband's watching. But don't worry, you ain't too bad yourself (I checked your bio thingy). It's why I started watching. But then I realized I have no idea what's going on so I had to go online. Now that I know, it's interesting even when the ugly girls are throwing.

Be sure to read my seminal post on women's sports...

Nope. They're too skinny and too blonde for my tastes, you know that.

If I were going to watch the Winter Olympics for hot babes, it would be all about the power.

Oh. My. God. I had no idea how bad this was until you let the messy facts out.

I'll start putting together some football and baseball footage right away. We'll get him into de-tox ASAP. He'll be (almost) as good as new before you know it.

Why, God, Why couldn't he have gone for Snowboarding or Speedskating?! Why did it have to be (shudder) Curling?!!
