Top 5 Lamest Summer 2008 Olympic Events (amended)

I'd like to make a substitution:
Field Hockey is out,
Race Walking is in (they're setting records only joggers once achieved)

Top 5 Lamest Summer 2008 Olympic Events

5. Field Hockey (Didn't we get that out of our system in 4th grade?)
4. Shooting (Let's at least beef it up with a German Nebelwerfer or something)
3. Rowing (You're just going in a straight line guys!)
2. Badminton (Because, who cares, right?)
1. Synchronized swimming (This might be impressive if they were dolphins and the award medals were gold plated herrings)

Then and Now #4

My first glimpse of Dana Carvey was on my basement bedroom 13" television in the wee hours of the night watching Saturday Night Live. He had me at "isn't that speeecial?" If you don't know the reference, you'll be bored from here on out.
Who can forget Garth Algar or his inspiring impersonations of George Bush (Sr.) and John Travolta? But probably my favorite was "Massive Head Wound Harry". click here if you're curious
Dana (we're on a first name basis) began his stint on SNL in 1986 and left in 1993 (single tear). After leaving SNL he only starred in 2 motion pictures: "Clean Slate" and "Master of Disguise", each mildly entertaining. He also attempted his own variety show which lasted only moments longer than Chevy Chase's and Martin Short's.
So what's he doing now? In June of this year he released an HBO stand-up special called Squatting Monkeys Tell No Lies (tell me something I don't know). To his credit, Dana is largely a family man. He's all but retreated from showbiz to give his kids a dad rather than just a famous millionaire. Good for him. I still miss him though.

Who is this guy?

"I Might Even Be A Shill"

We just bought a "Hannah Montana Washable Glue Stick".  Isn't that a little much?

Uhhhh

I won't spill the beans, but can you guess what kind of bodybuilding competition this is?

MIT solves the world's energy problem, I can leave my cell phone charger plugged in

Leave it to the big brains at MIT to solve the hysteria of the day.  Necessity is the Mother of Invention (and I think Profit is the Daddy). So it'll take 10 or so years to develop it...I can wait.
