Murphy's Law of the (insert Roman numerals here. I'm not googling it right now) Olympiad

While watching the ENTIRE women's soccer gold medal match between USA and Brazil, all NINTEY MINUTES of regulation while working out and folding clothes, then all THIRTY PLUS MINUTES OF extended time, I leave for 2 minutes to go to the bathroom and check my email. The US, NATURALLY, would score THE ONE GOAL OF THE ENTIRE GAME during that. I don't even LIKE to watch soccer on any other given day. And THAT would be why! (although will admit it was a great game)

----------------------------------------
To the cameraman and sports announcer who feel the need to interview a sprinter less than ONE minute after he finds out he is disqualified and stripped of his silver medal due to stepping on the line:

How do YOU THINK he feels about it?!?! GET OUT OF HIS FACE AND GIVE HIM A DAMN MOMENT TO GAIN HIS COMPOSURE, ASSHATS!!!
---------------------------------
To my readers:
Sorry about the cussing. It was warranted.

KEEP BELIEVING

  2. LOL at this post - I couldn't agree with you more on your thoughts about the media - especially the whole Phelps thing in a previous post!

    I'm glad I'm not alone thinking these nutty thoughts of mine!

    Oh, and I've so been there and done that with walking away during the 30 seconds I needed to be there!

  3. I agree!!! I have loved all of the olympics except the announcers. I wanted to kill them last night for following the hurdeler that hit the 9th hurdle and fell. Nice, lets watch her bawl her eyes out after all her dreams and hard work go down the drain. Or the poor 15 year old diver who can't even talk she is crying so hard -- yea keep asking questions. Sorry, I got a little carried away.

  4. Those announcers really are annoying and I can't believe you watch the entire soccer game! You should get a medal for that!

    And I don't know why, but everytime I hear the word "asshat" I start to laugh!

  5. There's a lot of the coverage of these games that I have found to be pretty bad. They are always right there in the face this year it seems. It's annoying. Go on - rant away!

  6. I agree with you.
    AND I think I need to say ASSHATS today.
    That is going to stick around in my brain for the duration.
    Too funny.

  7. Hey, Angie! I had to stop by from Bossy's after I read that you just sent your cutie boy to k'garten. Oy. That's what I'm doing on Tuesday. BTW, I dig fellow spiritual chicks who cuss when it's warranted, 'cause sometimes it just IS.
