Women's Gymnastics: The Big Mac of the Beijing Games

the other wk i was on automatic for dinner (with lil' time to really enjoy food) so i got two fish filets & fries & a sprite & killed it in less than 15min. the next morning, i felt the worst kind of hung over shit i have ever felt in a hella long time. it was ridiculous.

moral of the story: i've done retired that ish for good (or at least a yr or two or hopefully five.)

yo this piece was in the nation a while ago, right?
