My friend who's watching a lot of the Olympics keeps referring to the three man dinghy races. She's making that up, isn't she?

I think so - although every permutation of crew number from 1-8 and oar style (row or scull) and gender does seem to be competed.  Also kayaking.  And sailing.

I get a backache just watching those folks.

They will find a way to turn his lack of media savvy into a selling point.  Sounds like they've already sold you.

I hope I never have to refer to a scone in spoken conversation.

Did anyone else see Phelps in that last race where he won by 1/100th of a second. It was protested by the Serbian 2nd place coach and I believe rightly so. The slow-mo replay played over and over shows that the serbian really should have won, he was winning for the entire race and then somehow the sensor picked up Phelps first. Incredible, painful to watch stuff.

Ah, the Serbian wasn't really a Serbian, he was just an American of Serbian descent and the only reason they both are allowed to swim is because we can't test for the New and Exciting Drugs they're on yet. At some point, we'll find out that neither of them speak with their actual voices but rather with the voices of people less attractive but more eloquent than they are.

The fun will be figuring out which parts are fake, that's all, that's all.

It turns out that there really is one person and two person dinghy but here is the shocking part: I have somehow gone my entire life thinking that a dinghy is a rowboat and apparently it is actually a sailboat.

A bunch of people have tried eating his daily meals. A local news guy in DC tried breakfast and threw up less than halfway through. Some guy at the Guardian tried it too, but he ate something called "porridge" instead of grits.

That would be oat-based grits.

No one actually likes grits.  Ive learned this. People pretend to like grits, but they don't actually "like" grits. Its all an elaborate act put on by people south of Maryland. I have yet to see someone put plain grits in their mouth and be like "yeah, this stuff is awesome".

I agree that grits are not good food. But your description sounds a lot like beer to me. Or any acquired taste, really.

Grits, like escargot or baked potato, is largely a vehicle for butter.

I am watching men's trampoline at the moment. Men's gymnastics has a stigma of "fuck*ng gay" attached to it, but those guys are frickin' RIPPED to do what they do on those things. It's not my thing, but I try not to snicker too much about it.

Trampoline, on the other hand. This is gay. Super gay.

I respect trampoline a little more after watching a world-class trampoliner on Ninja Warrior. He was no gas station employee but he was still pretty damn good.
