Not at all. I actually enjoy the variety of swimwear styles,
trying to figure why one swimmer chose Speedo, while another
chose full-bodysuit, while another chose long-shorts, etc.

What really annoys ME is how the camera invariably shoots them from
the navel UP or from the knees DOWN. Occasionally we'll get a
full-body view, at which point you see the REAL reason they wear those
suits, i.e., every detail of their weenies / nads are completely
outlined and visible.

Heh. I was getting to a point where the backs of my
hands/wrists would get major pain twinges whenever I
did handsprings. Carpal Tunnel Syndrome? Doubt it, since

Slamming into *any* piece of apparatus smarts, trust me on
this. Note that many of the gymnasts wear upper-arm cuffs
when doing parallel bars, to prevent bar rash.

Sorry, but they're a *different* kind of family, owing to
their older siblings having married. That video profile
showed them being close like brothers; and his friend deserves
special mention because he has some form of cancer, and
spends much of his time in the hospital. In an interview
IT showed sensitivity and maturity by saying that no matter
how many competitions he wins or records he sets, those still
won't help get his friend out of the hospital.

Which brings us to a side benefit of the Olympics for the educated

play-by-play (at least some of it) will be done by Boston's own Sean

Is this where I'm supposed to waggle my cane?
I didn't stay with gymnastics, bowing out in my college
years for a few reasons, one being injuries and another
being thoroughly cowed by the state of the sport. (That
and being scared shitless at the idea of doing double-flips.)
Maybe I could take it up again; a friend of mine recently
reminded me that a thing worth doing is a thing worth doing,
whether it be badly or well.

My momma has a TV. She and my daddy were friends with Rowdy Gaines's
(NBC's swiming color commentator) mother and her husband.
Rowdy and I shared a fold-out couch one night when we were, oh, 10 and
12 or something like that, so I get to think "I slept with an Olympic
gold medal winner".

The friend in question's name is Michael Williams, he's 14, and he suffers
from non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, a cancer which affects the glandular system.
He was poolside for Thorpe's heats but not the final. He and Thorpe have
been close friends for about six years.

I've never been seasick.
And I work in a cubicle, which is effectively the same
as living in a cave. So those 2 bases are covered.

I got about 10 times as many hits with "carpal..." as I
did with "carpel...", and I seemed to have more medical
site hits with the former, so that must be the correct
spelling. Nevertheless, there does seem to be a
significant minority spelling it "carpel". Perhaps it's
just a misspelling that other people picked up. What
will it matter 100 years from now? (world-weary sigh)

My mother's maiden name was "Mann." One of her best friends growing up

Dot's family and vice versa. When I was a kid Dot always loved to say,

I've watched them intermittently, J. has become quite a fan, having
resolutely ignored them at previous times in his life.
As I pointed out to Mary, the women's weightlifting was cool. Sonia
Gimenez of Mexico was awesome. Ditto, I actually enjoyed watching the
last segment of the men's triathlon; the Canadian boy who won the gold
totally broke down in tears when he was on the medalists' dais, which
was reassuringly *un*macho, I thought.
Did you catch the women's gymnastics last night? Four of the world's
best women's gymnasts blew their vaults and THEN they found out that
the vault beam was 5 centimeters too low! Ditto, contestants
apparently had been complaining all day about the mat for the floor
exercises, saying that it ws too hard and not lacking the proper
amount of spring. One woman tripped and another fell flat on her ass.
Truly appalling to see greate athletes fail because of a (possibly)
fucked up venue.

Not that anyone cares, but I believe I posted some misinformation in
response to this -- although I can't find the article, so maybe it
never made it out there. Anyway, I congratulated baseball fans on the
fact that Costas would be unavailable for at least some of NBC's
postseason coverage, which I believe is true; but some brain-bubble
seems to have convinced me that his place was to be taken by Red Sox
play-by-play man Sean McDonough. This was wishful thinking; it's
actually Atlanta play-by-play man Skip Caray, who will surely be more
entertaining than Costas.

I can't speak for Cap'n Zerrubabel, of course, but of the
three I'm not overly fond of rum.
back in my younger days, experimenting with hard liquor,
I could never get past the flavour/odour of either rum or gin.
And of course Navy Rum is pretty darn potent.
Pieces of eight!

I got two definitions of that:
1 : a piece of armor covering the body from neck to waist; also : the
breastplate of such a piece
2 : something (as bony plates covering an animal) resembling a cuirass
Most people I know don't have bony plates, and I wouldn't want to see
anyone naked that did. That leaves the armor, and - while I love a
man in uniform as much as the next guy - I think I'd rather not.

sabre between teeth (think: rose, when flamenco dancing)
when swinging down rope; in one hand waving it about for
conversational emphasis when both feet on a solid surface.
and of course you can descend from the top of the mast without
rope if the sails are up - stab the sail, and jump; descending
as yr sabre rips the sail from top to bottom. Lots of work
for the sailmaker in repair, but *fabulous* theatre.
