So, I was flipping channels during the sometimes interminable commercials during the Olympics (go Team USA!), and PBS was running some programme on these people from WWII. So at one point this guy is recollecting the Battle of Anzio, and he remembers this guy saying, 'God help us and come yourself, don't send Jesus. This is no place for children.' How awful. Of course, I didn't stick around to find out what happened after that; the gymnastics was back on.
I kind of get really into the Olympics every time. I love gymnastics, men's especially, though I am terribly fond of men's diving if for no other reason than it features pretty young men in the world's skimpiest bathing suits. Yum. And, unlike water polo, they do not pair it with ridiculous bonnet looking headgear.
