And Now, The Olympics

Aug 11, 2008 10:21

Me, talk about sports? How radical! And yet, the Olympics are sports like no other sport. Except the sports that are in the Olympics. Or something. Anyway, blah blah, let's discuss.

I think I said this two years ago, but hell, I'm nothing if not predictable. )

Heh. Here in Germany, one of THE best commentaries during the opening ceremony was made about good ol' Dubya. When the Guam team marched in, the camera showed Mr. and Mrs Bush in the bleachers, explaining that Guam (like Costa Rica) was a American protectorate and that Bush thus was also the President of Guam.

Next, they wondered why the heck he didn't get up to wave when Guam marched in ... and the co-commentator innocently remarked, "Maybe Laura forgot to tell him he had to."

*snicker*

Bush probably doesn't support the Guamish Religion. Or maybe he doesn't like the taste of Guami bears.

(like Costa Rica)

I think you meant Puerto Rico. Costa Rica is most definitely its own country. We don't want it. ;-)

It's ok, you're still my favoritest Guambat ever. chaosvizier August 11 2008, 17:23:54 UTC
Guam needs to rename its official prison to Guamtamano Bay. ;-)

Or, as Luke Skywalker once said, "I used to bulls-eye Guamp Rats back home in Beggar's Canyon. They're not much bigger than two meters."

And change their official food to guamatillos.

In related news, my husband bought tomatillos for our taco meat the other night and after he made the tomatillo salsa mix in the bowl he knocked it off the counter and it spilled all over the floor and we had to fight with the cats to clean it up.

Tomatillos are tasty. I was sad that we could no longer have tomatillo salsa with our tacos.

Oops, of course. *blushes*

I blame too little sleep and caffeine withdrawal ...

Close enough. All those cute lil' Central American countries just blend together after a while. ;-)

Well ... a lot of Berliners seemed to love Obama not so long ago ...

And Obama loves him some donuts too!

Oh wait, Berliners, not "ein Berliner". ;-)
