President Bush has Olymic Fever too...

Listen,
I know that I may take a little heat from a few of you for posting more pictures of Misty May and Kerri Walsh, my 2 favorite Olympic Athletes, but I came across these pictures and thought you'd all like 'em...Where is The First Lady during all of this?!?!?!?

Can't say that I blame him though...

I can just see the developing headlines: "I did not have beach volleyball relations with those women..."

It's moments like these that make me proud to be:
A. an American
B. a Man (well a guy anyway)
and
C. well, I'll just keep C to myself

Anyway, I thought I'd also throw one out for all the ladies too... For those of you that don't know, that sweet hunk of Olympic Athlete is Rulon Gardner... He beat Russian wrestler Alexander Karelin for Olympic Gold at the Sydney Games in Greco-Roman Wrestling. Until ol' Rulon beat him, Karelin had been undefeated in 13 years of international competition. WoW...

And while we're still on the Olympics I just have to say that there is no way in HELL that any member of the Chinese Womens Gymnastic Team meets the minimum age requirement of 16. I mean give me a freaking break!!! A couple of them looked sub 10 years old...

Sorry, just had to get that off my chest. I was going to post a picture of them, but with them all being like "16 years old" I didn't want to be further accused of being a pervert.

I totally saw the Chinese team. One of the girls wobbled just a bit on her dismount, barely noticeable, but my whole family went "Ahhh.." like she had done something wrong. I said, "Give her a break, she's only nine." HaHa. They told me she was really 22, but I don't buy it.

Are those pictures of Bush real? or did you crop yourself out and photoshop Bush in?

NBC showed the Prez visiting with the ladies and hitting the ball around with them a little bit too. I have to believe after seeing that story during the actual NBC Olympic coverage that these pics are 2 legit to quit. BELIEVE IT!

I think it is well documented that those girls are eight and nine years old. I'm not really sure how that give them an advantage...but whatever. Maybe they are to young to understand that if they screw up they and their family will be sent to a chineese work camp for the rest of their existance.

The Today Show interviewed the first lady and showed her the pics (tacky if you ask me). She classily responded by saying. "George had a real nas (nice) time when he went down to meet them."

Does seeing all this olympic coverage make you want to go down to the Dragon Diner like three times a week? Or is that just me?

Rulon...gag.

Steve Sokol said...

Kristin, I thought you would like Rulon--especially since he is by far the most famous resident of your old homestead of Star Valley, Wyoming.

Kristin Sokol said...

I am very proud of my roots and true I probably am related to him somehow...but him in that gag wrestling suit...lets just say that I am glad that I met you after your wrestling days...there is just something about a man in a leotard that just turns me off. Other women probably swoon over him dressed like that, but me...not so much. Although next time we find ourselves in Star Valley, Rulons home town, I say we stop-in at Rulon's Burger Barn and get our selves a big juicy burger.

Steve Sokol said...

While we are on the subject of Rulon Gardner, he is, no doubt, a great Olympic Champion. But he is also PSYCHO. It seems like every few months he almost dies in a freak snowmobile, ski-boat, parachuting, or other accident. Plus--you'd think he'd capitalize on his fame with more than a fast-food joint in a small town on the road to Jackson Hole. Too late now though I'm afraid. Mr. Phelps should learn a lesson about what not to do after your Olympic achievements.

Kristin, based on the assumption that everyone in Star Valley is your cousin, do you think you could take down a Russia Greco-Roman wrestler (whith or without a leotard).

Kristin Sokol said...

True dat Steve True dat. He could have done much more than a Burger Barn with his fame. I am thinking at least a Bed and Breakfast or small wrestling themed amusement park.

In addition to him having a lot of near death experiences I also hear that he gets around. I personally know at least four people who's cousin or friend or co-worker has dated him. Seriously...maybe other women ARE turned on by his leotard like the one Bob so courteously posted on this blog.

And since you asked, I don't think I could take anyone down in wrestling and I'll tell you why...

A. I prefer not seeing myself or anyone in a leotard.

2. I am afraid I would get one of those freaky ear injuries and have to walk around for the rest of my life with a big puffy ear.

and

D. I'm a lover not a fighter.

Steve Sokol said...

Maybe he gets in all those accidents and dates all those girls to keep himself in the news (the local, mormon news anyway)--thereby keeping the "crowds" coming to the burger barn.

Kristin Sokol said...

Yeah...You are probably right.

Well...it's been nice talking to you Steve. We should talk like this more often.

Special thanks Bob, for creating an open forem for me and my spouse to talk. We really appreciate it and I know you love it too.

Bob said...

So, were you guys like sitting next to each other on your personal laptops while cluttering up my blog's comment section? I mean come on...

Dave said...

and in conclusion.... we find that Steve might think that Star Valley is an actual hole in the Earth with a big Paul Bunion wrestler farming out fat boy burgers in a leotard. Hmmm... rebutal from Kristin could be that although her family could be related to Rulon, they are exquisetly known, for there incredible jam and butter making skills for which they are famous for. After setting out and landing in Sunset Utah, she holds true to the fact that grown men in leatards do disgust the general public, and that Star Valley can be a great place to go cow tipping.

Bonnie said...

I dunno, I think Rulon's kind of hot...

Also addicted to the Olympics and I sure am glad tivo reduces 8+ hours a day to about 4.

Bob said...

TIVO rocks

Steve Sokol said...

Dave and Bob, for the record, I think Star Valley is a great place to visit--small town life may not be exciting--but it has it's appeal. I just think Mr. Gardner could have picked a better place for his restaurant.

What really bugs me (new subject) is towns that are too big to be charming but too small to have anything interesting to do. A good example: Logan. I know, this is a favorite place for many people--but I think it's just a matter of peer pressure. Really, there is nothing to do there except get stuck in a traffic jam and wonder how so few cars can result in that level of congenstion.

Bob--you should be glad for all the clutter comments. The blogging mother lode is to hit on an obsure topic that gets people talking.

Bob said...

I know that comments are the goal of blogging... I was just giving Kristin a hard time cause of a conversation we once had about having conversations in blog comments about blog conversations...

Dave said...

they won again, didn't watch but got the high lights. Can you belive the Women's softball team? They kill all the other teams.
