Well, the Olympics are here again and we know what that means. The Today Show has officially started their ad nauseum coverage. Ugh. This is the second elaney Olympics, and the first one was in the time period in which we still had a little pride left and didn’t leave it all out on the cyberspace table. (During the early phases of blogging, we worried about what our co-workers would think, what our pastor would think, and what potential suitors were thinking.*) So you might not know that…we kind of hate the Olympics. Is that horrible, yes? Of course. But it’s just soooo much…and we don’t like TV to be interrupted. We like un-interrupted programming. So, how do you feel? Are Valentines and the snow day the best part of your weekend? Or…do you l-u-v the Olympics (and Bode Miller)?

*The only thing we actually worried about

YouTube has them all up to watch and vote. We like the Dodge Charger’s “Man’s Last Stand,” but the Betty White Snickers commercial is getting a lot of press. What’s your fav?

Reader Ace: “Who’s doing the Superbowl halftime show? Is that Billy Joel?”
elaney: “The Who sings Teenage Wasteland?! I thought that was sung by a teenybopper. You know, ‘her name is Noel…’”
Disgusted guy in a black t-shirt that looked like he knew a lot about music: “That’s Teenage Dirtbag.”
Male Reader: “elaney, who are you cheering for?”
elaney: “Well, it was really a decision between Girls Next Door star Kendra Wilkinson (married to Colt’s player Hank Baskett) and Kim Kardashian (dates Reggie Bush). I’m more of a Khloe fan, so I I decided to root for the Colts.
Male Reader (blank expression then pregnant pause): “Don’t ever tell another guy what you just told me.”
Reader Melby: “I want to buy bottles of Drew Brees tears.”
