Get it on, Pang and Tong, get it on.

Dick Button won the gold medal in 1948.

Sheena and I just finished watching an evening of Olympics, which was awesome. The US women's snowboarding team kicked some ass, and Joey Cheek (who is just cute as a button) blew everyone else away - even the eight foot tall Russian dude. But the highlight of the evening for entertainment value was absolutely the pairs free skate. Of course Dick Button (who is nine hundred years old) was commentating, along with some bitch. I think this bitch's name is Sandra. I'm not sure. Let's call her Sandy.

Sandy, Sandy, Sandy. Did Petrova and Tikhonov kill and then eat your dog? your child? did they steal your identity and spend your life savings in Las Vegas? Because I would understand your ire if they did. If not, then you're just mean. She accused them of having choreography that was a "cop-out". She also said that Tikhonov (who is seven feet tall) "has never been able to get through a full four minute program." i know, i know, that's not really all that mean. But don't worry, she was also racist, saying things like "the Chinese have always been known for their tricks." I believe they're called jumps, sandy, not tricks.

Also, the silver medalists in the pairs were amazing. the woman (zhang dan) fell from like eight feet right onto her knee, got off the ice in tears, and went right back on. and then they won the silver medal. after falling and stopping the routine. it was awesome.

Dick Button said (of zhang) "who would have guessed that someone that slight would hvae a heart as big as the skating rink." who, indeed, Dick? who indeed.
