L ast evening I was going all ga-ga over the 41 year old woman who made the Olympic team, explaining in great detail to Nancy how this is possible because swimming is low impact, how training techniques have improved, how swimming requires as much lung capacity as it does muscle tone. (I only had to nudge Nanc’ a few times to pay attention.) Only once did she interject the word: “steroids.”
But I forgot the real reason she not only qualified, she set a NEW. WORLD. RECORD. She is wearing a cheater swim suit.
The LZR Racer is a whiz-bang swimsuit developed by Speedo. Jim Carrey and Jenny McCarthy share one.
So of course, Dana Torres, a 41 year old woman is qualified for her fourth olympics in eleven events! She is a cheetah, a sheetah!
Of course the only answer to the constantly improving technology screwing up the records set by the Greeks.
Summer and Winter. I don’t want to see naked wrestlers, high jumpers or table tennisers. I would love to see naked Curling. Where is Vince McMahon and the WWE when we need them? Pure pay-per-view gold, silver, and paper (money)
My very good friend, Robin Meade, of CNN’s Morning Express with Robin Meade, is running a contest, and if I win, I get to take her to a NASCAR race.
She wanted to know what the different colors of flags mean in NASCAR: Black Flag, White Flag, Blue Flag with diagonal yellow.
I asked my good friend in Paris Jean Saint Bubba to help her out.
Here is his report:
Boy was I ready to rip this blogger a new one. This was going to be a rant to top all rants, and you know I don’t like to rant here.
Then something came over me and I actuallyread the post.
I got past the traffic building inflammatory headline: Review: Hershey’s Chocolate Truffle Kisses - “Don’t bother”
How dare they? How dare they attack ANY chocolate made in Pennsylvania? But they didn’t attack, they reviewed - offered their opinion:
The taste was VERY milky - which in the case of Hershey’s chocolate is to say “sour milky.” And there is no taste differential between the coating and the truffle filling. But at least that lack of distinction is consistent, there is virtually no difference in texture either. When you have a great truffle, there is a distinct difference between the harder coating that gives way to a softer, creamier filling.
Then, of all things, they suggested an alternative, if one was a real “mass market truffle fan.” So there you have it, a biased opinion based on one person’s impression - a review.
Snobs? Not yet as far as I can tell.
Damn. Wish I would have thought to start a chocolate candy review blog.
