Haha! I say the same thing about the mcDonald’s commercials- although their fries make me drool, I don’t see any athletes chowing down there!

Woah, I totally agree. McMuffins are not a breakfast of champions but a Sausage Biscuits and hashbrowns definitely are!!!

Crotch – ROFL!! That is SO true ya know!

Actually, I heard that the guy in one of the skating couples is dating the girl from another couple (from his country). It seems like that could lead into a Nancy Kerrigan bashing if the other partner guy’s hand slips up or something kwim

On the x-games champs. They are showboating and losing out on frickin’ gold medals for the US! What is the deal with THAT!!!

I heard (probably from Bob Costas) that the married Chinese pairs ice skaters live at the training facility – in separate dorm rooms. Does that count as being married?

I agree that there are way too many commercials on during the Olympics. However I think they are better than this year’s superbowl commercials. The one with the parents racing to get the Happy Meal to their kid first is hilarious “thanks mom!”.

Wordy mcwordersons.

I tried to get O into watching the Olympics this year. It’s not working so much. The other day he told me “Well, these commercials are kinda cool.” (It was the one that mixed the “How to Train Your Dragon” with Olympics.) I don’t blame him though–all we see are COMMERCIALS. He’s also very worried about the well being of the woman who snowboards into outer space.

Gina is SO correct — disappointed in you I am, too. Preach it, Andy — the Gospel of Seinfeld must be heard!

My husband only watches figure skating for the crotch grabs. We place bets before the couples get on the ice on the number of crotch grabs. Don’t ask what we’re betting for.

The single competition doesn’t get much air time with us. We rip on their outfits and hair then change the channel.

Best Olympic post yet!

A couple of observations:

1. i can hear andy giving you that lecture about jerry seinfeld and big rick and i would have been in the background yelling “preach on, brotha”. to paraphrase yoda (in honor of andy), disappointed in you, i am.

2. i have been BEGGING tom to start up a street couples figure skating gang. so far, he has no interest. i will keep you posted.

3. i would be willing to bet any amount of money i have spent more than 10 saturday mornings with you where you would have furiously argued that the egg mcmuffin was, in fact, the breakfast of not only champions, but kings, emperors, celebrities, and the president. i seen you threaten to cut a man for a mcdonald’s hashbrown. before you write things like this, remember there are some of us who religiously read this blog who were around back in the day.

4. sh%t. thinking the egg mcmuffin is not the breakfast of champions is prolly how you reached your lifetime member status. maybe i should redact comment 3 and rethink my nutritional philosophy. nope. not gonna do it.
