My daughter was a bit “taken aback” by his gorgeous body. My wife would have truly enjoyed it.

I don’t think too many people are upset with seeing bare-chested men.

"Even the teams that came in #4 and #5 broke the old record and still lost. That is how fast this event was."

I love using examples such this when my students complain "I did my best; I deserve an A."

The Best shot of the night was of the French Team's Faces when they realized that Lezak had snuffed his French Opponent.

My French is a bit rusty, but I got to put together the phrase Deer in the headlights... there's no better description.

I hope someone makes a poster of the frenchies', in shock, staring into the distance.

Wha hoppen?
... tee hee...

I would like to see a new politically incorrect Olympics.

Any events from "Working Rodeo" along with goat drenching without ropes and cow and horse vaccinating.

I jumped up with fist in the air and put one hand right into the ceiling fan.

That had to be the best swimming event I’ve ever seen. The Frenchman actually looked surprised under the water when he looked over and saw Lezak.

You must not watch much swimming.

And you definiately have never hired a plumber. Now that’s scandalous.

My wife and I were talking about Phelps the other night and I said with is big feet and long frame that he “has a body built for swimming”.

My wife promptly responded, “He has a body built for a lot of things.”

I would submit that what Lezak did was superhuman, and that performances such as that are what the olympics are all about, and what makes these athletes so exceptional. Lezak is truly an Olympian, based on his finish last night.

Deer Dressing, a timed event...

After years of practice, I can get this costume on in 4.67 seconds... I had no idea this was a competitive sport!

I watch a lot of swimming, and suits have never been as low on camera as they have been this year. I understand that the suits aren’t comfortable, but they have robes. Maybe they should use them instead of showing the world their pubic bone.
