I much loved Olympics snowboarding. Shaun (hot) White won, as did that annoying girlie from Vermont. Does she need to act so poser? I mean, I understand you're cool and all, but please, close your legs during the Star Spangled Banner instead of being practically spread eagled. OK, i'm going off, I wasn't really that upset.
But anyone notice the clothes the boarders wore? This is from today's NYTIMES style, I laughed out loud. Writer nailed it: "Since when did Ronald McDonald become a sportswear designer?"

partyrunner. I am becoming too emersed in blogland. this weekend, while (just slightly) intoxicated, "shake that ass" came on at the bar we were in and I yelled out, "PARTYRUNNER LOVES THIS SONG!"
it was one of those moments where I stopped and said, "I think I have a problem. it is called 'blogging'."
No kidding! Can't someone normal dress our athletes. Gretchen Bleiler rules!
Uhm...a gratuatiously linked AP photo would have been much appreciated. Uhm. That red haired dude looks like Carrotop.
I don't think we can blame anyone but the boarding culture itself for this one. Even though it's not something I'd like to wear, I thought it was nice that the Olympic uniform designers were obviously catering to the style of clothes the kids are used to wearing when they board.
nice. i kept telling the boarders to pull up their pants... cuz ya know. they can hear me?!
but seriously, on some of their flipl/turn things, i was like DUDE. you're losin your PANTS!!
Pretty funny stuff! Those Boarders just needed a bit more 'tude - just a touch! Maybe a trucker's wallet. Those suits did look pretty goofy.
partyrunner,
I love your comments about the Olympics. Totally agree with every one. Did you see the girl who almost got gold in snowboard cross, but tried to show off (she thought she had the race in the bag) and fell right before the finish line? Now THAT'S a case of losing gold, not earning silver.
P.S. I teach with one of Sean White's old teachers. He homeschooled, but this teacher works with high school kids on independent study programs. I guess your red headed hottie wasn't so good in math. But I bet you still adore him anyway.
Nicole
