How old are those Chinese gymnasts? Granted, I will say that they are excellent at what they do, Gymnastics, but the rules say that they must be 16. Members of team USA look like they are 7 years older than those girls. The one thing that can’t be disputed is the fact that team China is good…oh I mean great. Officials use the passports of the atheletes to prove their age, and we know that Chinese passports are all correct. Did I mention that there was really no lead in all those toys made over there? Oops. Let’s think about history for a moment… the Iron Curtain was pulled back for the west to see into the USSR through Chess, a game the Russians were, and still are, really good at. The Chinese opened up to the west with a sport they also can dominate in, Ping-Pong (or Table Tennis for those in the sport). Might we be seeing the same thing again, a “stacking of the deck.” One of the anouncers said something about the balance beam that started, “How can you look at…” Well I think, “How can you look at the Chinese girls, and think…I believe she may be in my son’s 3rd grade class.”
I see that we fell off the balance beam. Hum…If our girls were 32″ tall and weighed 60lbs, then I guess she might have been able to recover. Oh well. Balance beam, that’s something I don’t have… balance.
I am so happy to see that Aquaman is a real super hero. For years I watched Superfriends. For those of you who are unfamiliar with the classic, it was the precursor to Justice League – Batman, Robin, Superman, Green Lantern, Aquaman, Wonder Twins, and other. Wonder Twin powers activate…form of a bucket…shape of water. It seems to me that Michael Phelps would be a great Aquaman. He swims faster, can hold his breath longer, and I would even say that he can probably talk to dolphins. I wonder…
By the way… do deigners carve cars out of chocolate? It looked like it on the Chevy aid.
Just in case you are wondering… Peeper is laying beside me sleeping (on and off) and watching me type.
Floor Exercises… an oprotunity to run around, jump, and flip to music. Sounds like break dancing to me. Sounds like I would break my neck if I tried to do it. It’s ok…your an Olympian, a world class athelete. Tomorrow is a new day.
Well… I guess this will be the end of my “bloggin” for today, considering that it is “tomorrow” already.
BRB peeper pottied… yep he marked the peepad. I gave him a portion of a Snausage. By the way, the greatest doggy treat in the universe (so says Peeper), and yes he does talk.
Good night to all and to all a good night.
