Manhattan Offender

There is only one athlete at the Olympics that is worthy of my following. A member of the Bulgarian Olympic volleyball team. Krasimir Gaydarski!

How American it is to snicker.

Who would you rather .... ? Mark Spitz or Michael Phelps

Just asking.  Camp Spitz here, semi-obviously.

Olympics opening ceremony (as live-texted) shows the churlish, horrid, frattish twits that we are

Who needs live-blogging to the world when you can live-text with a friend? 

My friend B and I watched the Beijing Olympics opening ceremonies together, yet separately.  While he was watching from a dinner party in Brooklyn, my choice was to be home so as to wake early the next morning.  (Please note that neither of us use standard texting conventions and that B is a terrible speller, not trying to create new texting conventions.)
