Michael Phelps my hometown dude goes for #2 tonight. He too is from Towson MD.
Amazing athlete. His arm and shoulder joints have 2-3 time the range of a normal person.
Go Michael Go!

Misty Mays ass!!!!! 
I love watching womens beach volleyball and gymnastics!!!
That 4x100 freestyle relay last night was unbelievable. I didnt think our last guy had a chance in hell, but he pulled it out by .08. They said that even the 4th and 5th place teams (no medals) broke the old world record. They were flying!!
I wonder how much of that speed can be attributed to the "controversial" new swimsuits they are wearing? I guess theres not really a controversy anymore since everyone is wearing them, but it makes you wonder how fast previous swimmers could have been if they had access to technology like that.

Ah, it's been tough living in southern California all these years being surrounded by such ladies. Misty May attended the same high school that I did...maybe I knew her grandmother!!!!

My oldest son never got into sports. He called yesterday and says he has been watching the Olympics every day/night.
Lol, he said something about the one woman on the Volleyball team and her bathing suit.  He said he thinks she buys it a size too small.
I ask him if he thought she was pretty, he said, "pretty"? Just a minute and I will look at her face.

President Bush got a swipe at Misty's butt yesterday. It was very funny.
Anyone think that the water in the pool is funny?
OR
Maybe the Chinese shortened the pool?
Every race is a World Record.
Phelps goes for three tonight!
What happened to the boobs on the women athletes? I am bummed.

Every race is a World Record.
See my post above about the new racing suits everyone is wearing this year. They were designed by NASA engineers. An excerpt from the article below....
*Speedo used NASA to help design the suit. Yup - rocket scientists.
*Lots of tests in water flumes to test passive drag (10% better than the Fastskin FSII - 2004's fast Speedo swimsuit - and 5% better than then the FS-PRO, the fastest Speedo suit from 2007.
*Tests to show where the most drag occurs on a swimmer's body led to a suit designed to minimize drag in those areas.
*Body scanning of 400 elite athletes to help develop an efficient suit pattern for construction.
*Bonded seams, so no stitches to cause drag.
*A hidden zipper - again, less drag.
*LZR polyurethane panels reduce drag in some areas of the swimsuit by as much as 24% compared to other Speedo suits.
*And a bigee - 5% less effort to go the same speed - a swimmer can use less energy to go a given speed, so they ought ot have more energy to go faster or hold that speed longer.
Did you see Misty stick that ass out for George to smack it?!?!!!  I would have mounted her!!
