Is there anything more excruciating than the Olympics? From the endless, tedious soccer games to the subjective judging in female gymnastics ( A recently deceased sister is worth at least a bronze medal ), the Olympics are the greatest entertainment in the world if you really, really have nothing else to do.
Olympic organisers scrambled to halt a public backlash over the sight of empty seats at competition venues, recruiting an army of soldiers and students to fill the voids and upgrading spectators with cheaper tickets.
(I think the soldier in the middle found something more interesting to watch than the Games. Perhaps a pigeon.)
And the opening ceremony... What an embarrassment for Great Britain. Oh sure, Paul McCartney still has an amazing voice for a corpse, but whoever thought up the Red-Eyed-Bug-Bikes had to be on drugs. I myself had to look away. The Queen was surely soiling herself in the Royal Box as she suffered through... ... Whatever that was supposed to be.
But I have a good book to read, and there is always programming to watch that I find more exciting than the Olympics, like reruns of The Golden Girls... in Spanish.
So let the Games drag on... And on... And on...

You make me giggle. :) I did not care for the opening ceremonies at all but I have a difficult time pulling myself away from the tv for the rest of it. Trying to figure out how to put it in my car for the drive to work tomorrow....
Television and driving...
"How did she die?"
"Well she was watching the Olympics while driving to work, and they were showing the men's swim team in their little Speedo's..."
Bekah, that's not how you want to be remembered.

Grammy,
A friend called me and we watched the waning moments of the opening ceremonies... I laughed my a__ off... And was embarrassed for the Brits.
