The Olympics (2/?)

[skywaterblue]

Some hilarious comments from my brother:

Robert: (frowns) "Oh, I wish this was play-by-play instead of color commentary."
Me: "Yeah, Bob Costas sucking ass is one of the universal experiences of the Olympics, Robert."

About five minutes later.
Bob Costas, on a British swimmer: "Her name is Hannah Miley! Ha ha, my kids are going nuts."
My brother: "NOOOOOOO, GOD. BOB COSTAS."

It was time, what can we say?

On an even more cynical note, sarcoidosis? OH, is that what's we're calling it now? Who catches pneumonia in Chicago in AUGUST?

"Yeah, Bob Costas sucking ass is one of the universal experiences of the Olympics, Robert."

EXACTLY! My favorite was when he said something along the lines of, "Here's Central African Republic. I'll take this opportunity to remind you that it's a republic...in central Africa." Clever.

The best part of that bit of fail was when a few seconds later he was all, "Oh, no one got my joke?"

WOW, that second one is pretty hilarious. Especially considering that I've been watching the Disney Channel lately.

Aly's mom has sarcoidosis and I am still not entirely sure what its deal is.

Apparently it's a big immune system thing. I'm just a skeptic. I call AIDS on that.

Oh, and

Who catches pneumonia in Chicago in AUGUST?

The Obscenely Obese!

Sarcoidosis = Growing up on the south side of Chicago

Air so thick, you can eat it with a fork. That's my bet. Oh, Bernie...you will be missed. :(

Olympics and Costas: Hey...but on the bright side, it keeps Bob Costas off the street...and prime time. :)
