Simply the Greatest Gymnast in the Worldy, Kohei Uchimura has won 3 CONSECUTIVE All Around Gold Medals in Gymnastics World Championships! Even though that haircut has to go! He should! If he doesnt, the Americuns probably put poison in his tea!

I dont know if this infant is going to be in the Olympics, but this 14 year old boy (who got 10s in his first 3 dives here) only came in SECOND in this all Chinese competition, hahaha!

Some pics from the preparations ... Here are some of the performers in costume. Gahhhh, I cant look .. Look at those costumes. It sure looks like they came from a rummage through my attic. This is going to be crap ceremonies ...

And we wont even get anything as interesting as those giant Oztralian wheelies ... I forgots where Wombut appears here! WOW, Id forgotten how grand some of the stuff wuz in Sydney, like those native dances & fishy kites. PS. I really think that part of the problem is that Danny Boyle is attached to the ENglish countryside when he should have used beautiful London itself. And of course, our Western culture is not as mysterious or as fascinating as Asia ...

Yahhh, isnt it great? When I retire at 32, Im going to be a badminton Olympic athlete. How hard can it be? PS. Among those souvenirs, I only like the Queeny ice cream scoop -- hodderwise, they are all boring and most are not particularly Olympian looking. Zzzzzzzzzz ...

Hey! The Olympics already started! Soccer is on. What the heck? Update: There's doping in Badminton?? Wtf?? I asked Tyler if he was excited about Badminton at the Olympics and he said not so much because he watches BWF so I Googled BWF. It's Badminton World Federation and they have anti-doping rules. What the heck?? Who would want to win at Badminton so much they would dope themselves? Also, what kind of doping? It has to be marijuana. What else could it be?
