1. It’s waaaaay too late for me to go for the gold in anything gymnastics related.
2. If Michael Phelps’s swim trunks get any lower, the Olympics might end up rated NC-17
Michael Phelps, world’s greatest swimmer.World’s most gravity-defying pants.
3. Seriously. Am I the only person who is constantly afraid that Michael Phelps is going to dive into the pool and lose his pants!?!?!
4. Whoever made those Visa commercials narrated by Morgan Freeman totally had me in mind as their target audience.
5. Have I mentioned that the Olympics MAKE ME CRY?
6. And the little Chinese boy from the opening ceremonies who survived the earthquake and then went back to his school to pull his classmates from the rubble and told people after that he wasn’t a hero–he was a class leader and he was just doing his job?
7. HOW CAN THE OLYMPICS DO ANYTHING BUT MAKE ME CRY?
8. And perhaps my favorite Olympics moment wasn’t even from the actual Olympics. Did anyone else see Project Runway last week when the challenge was to design an outfit for the opening ceremonies and that one guy made a purple cocktail dress? I almost died when Michael Kors said, “What’s her sport? Drinking?” And then later, “It’s great if she’s representing the United Republic of Cocktail Land?”
9. And speaking of the opening ceremonies… I thought the U.S. athletes looked great. A little like they were getting ready to go sailing off the Cape, but great just the same.
10. And not only that, but their pants stayed on. (But Michael Phelps wasn’t there, so it wasn’t a true test of pantage.)
