Sochi’s getting its money’s worth from that Slide Center track. Luges, toboggans, bobsleds, one man, two men, four women, one woman, skeletons, sleds. What’s next? I expect Moses to come washing down in a basket.
Musings
My two cents. Sometimes three.
Enough Already
If I see one more person coming down that chute in the Sochi Sliding Center… I feel like I’ve been trapped in a funnel all week. Every day, one man, two men, on luges, on sleds, skeletons, bobsleds, backwards, forwards, three people, one woman, four men and two women, on a sled, in a honda, on a banana peel, head first, knees first, in a frying pan. They didn’t have to build anything else for the Olympics but that slide. Apparently, everyone has good toe point, and everyone hits the side on turn eleven. Can we move on now?
Don’t Turn Around
The co-pilot who hijacked his own plane today apparently held himself up last year and demanded his watch.
Take Me to Poland
Today a plane was hijacked by its co-pilot. Talk about people unclear on the concept..
Grammy With an Asterisk
If they’d banned performance enhancing drugs in the music industry, no one would have written MacArthur Park.
Gold Medals and Purple Osley
“Slope Style” skiing was added to the Olympics in the 90’s. All those guys and women skiing backwards, flying off bannisters and slides, twirling, spinning, flipping and landing upside down? Those were the kids of everyone who dropped acid in the seventies.
But They Kept Gagging
Huffington Post headline Feb. 3, 2014: “Pubic Hair Debate”. Will it be televised?
It continues: “The Great Pubic Debate: ‘If You Don’t Like My Hair, Stay Away From My Vagina’ (VIDEO)”. And this is why we can never, ever, get rid of radio.
Be Honest
Today the Huffington Post claimed heroin use in America is up 79%. There’s a survey you can rely on.
