Yeah, it hooked me. My jaded self keeps noting the self-serving dictators callow violation of the games created by the world’s first democracy. OK, I acknowledge that the Chinese women’s team is a pedophile’s dream. When Phelps is in starting position, my concentration is on his heel to see if his mom too failed to dunk him properly. Evidently, she did better than Achilles’ mom did. And, she seems to know it after each swim — even the Hollywood choreographed finish last evening.
I’m staying up past my normal bedtime and watching events that don’t get my attention except on a quadrennial basis. Some are nice action events. A couple are something where I hold an expertise
Thanks???? for the compliment. BTW- It was Achilles’ mother, not Hercules, who dunked him in the river, hence, the term Achilles heel as someone’s fatal flaw. Phelps’ one-outer on the river last night was something to behold, though, wasn’t it? Every four years, I spend two weeks in front of the tv set, after avoiding the thing almost completely in between Olympic Games. Personally, I can’t get enough of it.
One more thing: My captcha words to type in are Napoleon and Brockton. Wonder how the little guy would have done up against Marciano?
Thanks for pointing out my mental fart. I did correct it and avoided drooling in the process.
