Olympic post 98571

Watching the BMX and there is a guy who has change his name, legally, to Kamikazi(that is how he spelt it)!
Better then Princess Banana Hammock- I think not

I interrupt the usual blogging about Olympics to bring you a post about BOND. Specifically, Pierce as Bond. Last night, the movie Golden Eye was on TV. I had almost forgot how enjjoyable this flick was. It has all the classic Bond moments and Pierce was fab.
This is now where the praising of Pierce Bond films ends. I believe that a dear friend, I am thinking Library Lady, once told me that Pierce was visually as close to bond as they ever got in casting based of Ian Fleming's written description. But I must ask the question: Did the writers/producers/directors hate him? Don't get me wrong, I heart Daniel Craig as Bond. If giving Pierce craptastic roles ensured that Daniel Craig was able to provide me with eye candy, I am all for it. I to not think that Pierce could have pulled off the lastest Bond incarnation. However, a piece of my heart breaks for Remington Steel
Evidence that Thomas Crown got screwed, excluding Golden Eye:
1. Denise Richards as a nuclear physicist. I always thought that you should be able to pronounce a profession to act it.
2. The above mentioned twats last name was christmas which lead to the worse line ever at the end of the movie- I refuse to write it here
3. Staying on the lines of Bond girls- Terry hatcher? really? (will admit I totally didn't hate Tomorrow never Dies)
4. Invisible cars?! really
5. BMW no Aston Martin
6. Madonna in a movie and Madonna writing the worst Bond song EVER!! (and I heart Madge)
7. His female lead in one of his films thanked Oprah and Jada Pickett Smith in her oscar speech.

Here is a look back to Remington Steel

gymnasts futures

After an insightful conversation with my bestie and hypothesizing on the future of some of these gals, especially if they are from China, Romania, and Russia, we came to the conclusion that gymnasts are a lot like strippers.
Here is the evidence:
1. Signiture move called the Nastia
2. They love spinning on bars
3. The splits come into play a lot
4. Whether on stage or on the floor exercise, there is a ton of pointless, uncoordinated and embarassing dancing to get to the good stuff
5. Both Strippers and Gymnasts keep Bonnie Bell in business with the sale of blue eye shadow
6. Tight little outfits are most appropriate.

olympics

seriously, can Canada come in forth once more? I am developing a zinc medal in honour of them. That way we would still not be medalless with one of the biggest olympic teams there.
They could have sent me to compete in all the events and we would have done the same. Does anyone remember the swimmer from an African country (I know, I know that is very broad comment) but he took like 4 times as long to do the 100 as the winner and everyone there was cheering just as hard they did for the winner. Anyway, I could have been a star fo the Olympics b/c it would take me 10x as long and everyone would be cheering for me and I would have gotten the cover of a Wheeties box and Canada would be a "feel good story" rather then a bunch of losers.
In honour of the Olympic and wicked athletes, here is some pommel horsing action

question

If there are french fries left on a table at a bar past 1:30 are they fair game?

Olympic funtimes

So the Olympics begin tonight/today/ has already started due to time differences. 8/8/8 Lucky Lucky. My mother has always been a big fan of the Games; and as such, I am genetically programmed to enjoy them as well. There have been a lot of Olympic moments I recall: babysitting and waking up all the kids I was sitting when Donovan Bailey won the 100m, being shocked at the East German swimming team thinking they could not be women the same way that Boy George could not be a man, and waking up to watch swimming in Sydney.
Side note on Sydney, I went to the Olympic stadium and it was pretty ridiculous. I was dared to run through the torch fountain for $20. Seriously, i would have done it for a penny and the word dare. I did lose my glasses in the fountain and had to run through again. So I guess they got their money's worth.
However, I think that my all time fav Olympic experience was watching the gymnastics with the ladies of 61 Stirling drive. Can anything beat laughing while they fell during a routine (Ok the Canadian women's figure skating totally beat it but it was still pretty darn funny), being astonished that someone was actually shorter then Larsen and forever would be, as well as admiring the dedication of the Romanian gymnasts. These girls are taken away from their families to live at Olympic camp, have no education, feared beatings if they fell but still know the cure to scurvy. They were so malnourished the bags under their eyes were trunks and had obviously not had vitamin C in years. The little girl who was their best athlete had an extra large "muscle' just below her behind. Truth: she was smuggling oranges back to her homeland. I believe that she tested positive for drugs. Regardless, she did provide us with much needed humor to Begin the third year of Uni.
Here's hoping that the Olympics are as enjoyable this time around. Oh and I wished that the male swimmers would go back to the speedos.... so much more pleasing to my eyes.

summer colds suck.
So you think you can Dance does not
