WELL HELLO THERE

TODAY I WISH TO TALK TO YOU ON THE SUBJECT OF THE OLYMPICS

OR MORE ACCURATELY I DO NOT WISH TO, BUT I FEEL IT NECESSARY

BASICALLY I WAS RECENTLY OBSERVING STUFF AND THERE WAS A LOT OF FUSS OVER THE OLYMPIC GAMES, DESPITE THEIR BEING HELD IN CHINA. PARTIALLY THE FUSS WAS DUE TO AIR POLLUTION AND OTHER STAPLE PARTS OF THE CHINESE DIET, NONE OF WHICH IS GOOD FOR ATHLETES (IT CAN POISON YOU A STEP AT A TIME. YOU CAN SEE PEOPLE LIVING IN CHINA IF YOU GO THERE, ALTHOUGH THEY CANNOT SEE YOU BECAUSE THEIR GOVERNMENT BLOCKS ACCESS TO BEING ABLE TO SEE DUDES WHO ARE NOT CHINESE, SO IF YOU ARE CHINESE ONLY CHINESE PEOPLE GET MEDALS; THIS HELPS THEM NOT BELIEVE IN REAL PEOPLE WHEN THEY HAVE TO)

ALSO BASICALLY ALL YOU DO IN THE OLYMPIC GAMES IS RUN ABOUT AND THROW STUFF AND IT IS NOT DONE IN THE ORIGINAL MANNER

SURE A LOT OF DUDES WOULD TUNE IN AND WATCH THE OLYMPICS IF IT WAS DONE LIKE IT WAS ORIGINALLY, BUT IT FAILS ON A NUMBER OF POINTS, WHICH I AM NOW GOING TO LIST
1) THEY USED TO BEAT EACH OTHER UP A LOT IN A LOT OF POPULAR EVENTS, WHY DO WE NOT HAVE, FOR EXAMPLE, THE PANKRATION ANY MORE
2) IT IS NO LONGER ALWAYS HELD AT OLYMPIA, SO NOT ONLY IS THERE NO TRADITION BEHIND THE SETTING, BUT YOU OFTEN GET PEOPLE HOSTING WHO SHOULDN'T, BECAUSE NOBODY LIKES THEIR COUNTRY
3) NOBODY IS NAKED ANY MORE, BACK IN ANCIENT GREECE YOU DID NOT HAVE TO IMAGINE IT, BECAUSE YOU COULD JUST LOOK WITH YOUR EYES AND SEE. NAKED PEOPLE IN LARGE NUMBERS, RUNNING AND JUMPING AND THROWING THINGS, AND EVERYONE KEPT ON LOOKING. BUT NOW THEY WEAR CLOTHES AND THERE IS NO NUDITY ANY MORE AND IT IS NOT RIGHT

SO BASICALLY THESE ARE MY PROBLEMS WITH THE OLYMPIC GAMES RIGHT NOW

ON A MORE CHEERFUL SUBJECT TODAY I OBSERVED SOME OF THE FIRST SERIES OF MACGYVER

DID YOU KNOW THAT IN BANGLADESH, KOREA, INDONESIA, MALAYSIA AND POLAND THE ACTUAL WORD FOR A SWISS ARMY KNIFE TRANSLATES LITERALLY TO "MACGYVER KNIFE"; WORRYINGLY I AM NOT MAKING THIS UP. IT HAS BEEN WHIPPED RIGHT OUT NO MORE THAN FOUR MINUTES INTO THE FIRST EPISODE, AND IS USED MANY TIMES, BUT IT IS QUITE DIFFICULT NOT TO BELIEVE THAT THAT IS SUPPOSED TO BE JACK O'NEILL ON SCREEN (HOWEVER THIS ACTOR-BASED CONFUSION COULD BE WORSE; CONTINUING TO USE STARGATE AS AN EXAMPLE SOURCE, ALTHOUGH THIS TIME REFERRING TO THE MOVIE RATHER THAN THE SERIES, IT IS ALSO VERY HARD TO WATCH THE FILM "SECRETARY" WITHOUT BELIEVING THAT TO BE DANIEL JACKSON. BY THIS I REFER TO THE DUDE PLAYED BY JAMES SPADER AND NOT THE TITULAR SECRETARY, AS HUMOROUSLY DISCONCERTING AS THAT LATTER IMAGE IS)

BUT YEAH THAT IS SOME STUFF, AND IF I INVADE JUST TO STOP THESE CHINK OLYMPICS, WELL, YOU WOULDN'T BLAME ME, WOULD YOU

IT WOULD BE QUITE EASY, I THINK

IT WOULD NOT BE DIFFICULT
