Hey!, look who it is, the “Cranky Old Guy.” He can show up without warning and, really, without being invited. But since he’s old and kinda pathetic we feel obligated to let him have his say when he stumbles in. Today he seems to be mostly agitated about the Winter Olympic Games or, as Americans call them, the Spin-Aimlessly-And-Fall-On-The-Ice Games. His mind does tend to wander, however, and when you spend your days asking yourself questions that can never be answered, you end up obsessing about strange things. Ladies and gentlemen, the rambling mind of the C.O.G.
Ya, But The Americans Would Win A Snowball Fight
Well, the Sports-We’re-No-Good-At Games have started. Were you just a little bit embarrassed when the Americans trotted out at the opening ceremonies with 250 snowboarders and engulfed the one little athlete from Trinidad and Tobago in an unprecedented selfie-absorbed display? The guy from Trinidad had a flip phone and more the one dude on Team USA thought he was a server and asked him to fetch a cocktail. Maybe I’m just easily embarrassed. I’m watching the Winter Olympics anyway for mostly the same reason all men watch the Winter Olympics – to see attractive Scandinavian women.
