Winter Olympics: Valentine’s Day Edition

Tuesday, February 14th, 2006

It isn’t so much that I hate the Olympics, as I just don’t care. For those fellas out there with the same plight, here is a resource that might make them watchable:

Hot Olympians: The Women

If you have to watch the Olympics this Valentine’s Day, you might as well know which hotties to look for / at. I’m not sure the girls they listed at this site are really the cream of the crop, and it is a pretty skimpy list, but at least it is something to start with. A few they missed:

Whither Olympics?

Monday, February 13th, 2006

Hey, are the Winter Olympics going on right now or something? I guess I must not care. I tried to watch Crossing Jordan (gotta have my Jill Hennessy fix) on Sunday, but it was a bunch of dumb skiing instead.

I don’t care about skiing, skating, sledding, curling, or whatever else is an Olympic sport. Frankly, I’m not sure who watches and enjoys these events. If they are so popular (and judging by the ratings, they must be) why are they not popular when it isn’t an Olympic event? Why isn’t the Downhill Double Dutch Mogul Obstacle Course Championships on every weekend instead of football or college basketball?

I’d rather watch Jill Hennessy.
