There are some issues I have with the Olympics though. Firstly, why in God’s name do they always have to make the opening ceremonies full of extravagant avant guard interpretive dance crap.
Why! Good Lord Why!
Why! What the Hell is this!
Why! Oh wait, never mind that’s kind of cool looking! Kind of like a roller derby on steroids.
And the freaky Italian dancer wearing the flesh tone body suit with the faux blood vessels running to the the silver “Heart” on his chest. And the weird ass Mohawk too. What in God’s Name was that crap about?
The second Issue I have with the Olympics is the announcers. I swear that one of the people doing the commentary on figure skating really doesn’t like to watch people skate, especially if those people are not Caucasian and skate to swing music. What an ass.
And the guys commenting on snowboarding I swear just make up the name of the tricks competitors do on their half-pipe runs.
“I can’t believe the Flying Finn is going to attempt the Twinky Jib-Jab Rodeo Double 90, it hasn’t been done in international competition since the woman from Greece was killed by an errant Snowboard clamp in the 2003 World Cup.”
“I know, Ted, but the Finnish team is really reaching for this one…”
To Recap:
What is your favorite snowboard trick name?
If you don’t have one, make it up
Mine is the Frontal Twinky Jib-Jab Rodeo Double 90 Half-Fakey. If you can hit the landing on that bad boy, you are getting gold, my friend
Downstairs closet is clean
Little Man might be reacting to tomatoes right now, mainly due to the insane amount he consumes daily.
I really do not want to be at work right now
The Backside Twinky Jib-Jab Rodeo Double 90 Half-Fakey is much easier than the Frontside

My favorite trick, the Frontside Toe-Pick White-Wash Face-Plant...No-Fakey. i've got this trick nailed.
What's with the "fakey" tricks? If they're actually doing the trick then they're not faking and if they're at the Olympic level then why are they faking the tricks instead of doing them? You'd think they'd be good enough, right? That trick definitely needs a new name. It was bugging me all night last night.
I love the figure skating, some of those outfits are so pretty and they are amazingly talented, but so far this olympics I've missed it all!
My favorite is the jump down spin around pick a bail of cotton.
that's a rough one.
seriously though? my son said the haaken flip is awesome. whatever that means.
My fave is the knee high paddywhack free hand lolligag. I believe this particular maneuver was pioneered by the flying tomato in the winter of '04. that tomato is innovative!
Kim:
Something tells me you have been eating snow due to snowboarding "tricks."
Em:
I trhink they should change the terminology from "No Fakey" to "Fo Real." It would go from a Frontside Rodeo 720 No Fakey to a Frontside Rodeo 720 For Real. I like that a bunch more.
continuitygirl:
Some of the skating costumes are gorgeous, but there are some hideous travesties on the ice as well this year.
Dave:
Why?!?!? Why?!?!
wifey:
Yes, too bad for the "Tomato" that Little Man constantly referes to him as "Apple."
The only trick I know is the "Tried Dat Jiggidy-Jog And Ended Up With A Foreign Body In My Body" trick.
I watched parts of the opening ceremony, too. I loved the "living" ski jumper. Oh boy, that sport surely has a different name in English. Hm. What I mean is when a large group of people with clothes in different colours formed a person and made certain moves. Well, if you watched it, you might guess what I mean. If not, probably not. Sorry.
As to the snowboard thing, I can't make anything up, but German comedian Willy Astor made up some funny ones on the radio yesterday. Link: http://www.br-online.de/bayern3/comedy/willy-astor/artikel/index/index.xml To listen, click on "Olympia" in the list of sound files.
