| The Olympic Report |
Back from Atlanta and the 26th modern day Olympiad. Had a
great
time, but I'm sure it will be weeks before I get all these nails, screws
and large shards of glass out of my body from that pipe bomb. In
actuality, I was no where near the park when it happened. Here's a
little run-down of the events I went to:
EVENT |
TIX Price /MY Price |
QUALITY (0-10) |
COMMENT |
Rowing |
$32/ free | 2 | It was too hot and there were too many rowing mavens around. Let me tell you: all losers! |
Badminton |
16 / 16 | 6 | I've never seen this live before. The Swede's and Chinese are brilliant. Quite fast paced. I'll give it a '6' because the word 'mint' is in badMINTon. |
Swimming |
159 / 100 | 7.5 | Coughed over the cash. Why? Clinton (Bill) was there, Hillary was there, Chelsea was there, and there were some final races. Later I found I could have sold my seat for $500. Fuck. Let's change that rating to a '1'. |
Weightlifting |
22/ free | 8 | Got the tix from Johnson & Johnson. Why '8'? Easy. 'Freaks'-- just like the Coney Island side show. |
Track and Field | 80/ 50 | 8 | Saw lots of Pre-lims. I Bought these tix outside of the stadium from a strange man - but they were great! 15th row - 50 yard line! About 12 people who were sitting near me left...So I stretched out and had a Bud. |
Cycling | 37 / 37 | 10 | Psychos with helmets and $30,000 bikes. Thick women cyclists have HUGE asses - Sir-mix-alot style. |
Volleyball | 16 / free | 5 | Men's - USA v Brazil. USA lost, I saw only half because of security checks, and my brother-in- law ate all of my popcorn. |
I have a lot more to say about each event. Just hammering
other
cultures alone could take up a few pages (particularly that culture that
resides in parts of Long Island and New Jersey who seem to know everything
about everything).
P.S. My brother-in-law picked his nose for about 30 minutes of an hour drive once. I asked him 'What the fuck, Brian?' and he responded with: "I have a deviated sceptum and that lake house were stayin' at is too 'musky'". MUSKY? SCEPTUM? He picked his nose with pleasure and he is a fuckin 32 year old man!
