And the best part is, nobody fell down!

A hearty Howdygram MAZEL TOV to the top six women figure skaters for their great show last night in Vancouver. No kidding, this was the first Olympics I can recall in recent history where nobody landed on their ass and the winning score wasn’t based on who screwed up the least. While this might be viewed as a disappointment in some circles, I was mighty amazed by the skaters’ ability to wear large amounts of lip gloss and nail all their jumps under such intense pressure. Of particular note was the gold medalist from South Korea (pictured), whose name is either Yu-Na Kim or Kim Yu-Na depending on which news article you’re reading. Before the competition she told a reporter that she would be a disgrace to her entire country and everybody would stop loving her if she didn’t win gold. Correct me if I’m wrong, but that sounds like some really heavy nationalistic crap to pile on a 95-pound figure skater. Maybe she should consider another line of work, like retail sales. Thank you for reading this.
