The only thing I knew about Michael Phelps before tonight was that he is a swimmer. There is that At&T commercial with the girl who is just a little too into Michael Phelps and the problem with the number of bars in the little Podunk town she just moved to. Anyway, now I get the bit about how much he likes Chinese Food.
I just saw him win the gold in the 400 meter individual medly (that’s swimming for those of you who know less about swimming than I do which is not much). It was cool to watch the medal ceremony. Then the sound system screwed up the beginning and the end of the national anthem, but no one seemed to mind much.
I guess USA, USA, USA!
My wife was a swimmer when she was younger. She thinks it’s funny that now men opt to wear leggings or even a full body suit rather than the more traditional speedo. I guess this is easier than shaving your entire body every other day. But she says it makes it hard to tell the men from the women when all you see on tv is them from the shoulders up. It is actually, and i’ve mixed it up once or twice and didnt’ realize till later that I was watching men instead of women or vice versa.
So, go Michael Phelps, gold medal for the Us of A. Here’s to a bunch more where that one came from.
