But, Nutty, the winter Olympics are so much more than just the Hungarian Agony of Defeat ski jumper--they're also the Jamaican bobsled team, Eddie, the English ski jumper (with the Coke-bottom glasses), and all the biathalon competitors whose names no one can remember. I love the Winter Olympics because they seem to have at least one WTF? competitor.
Willow: Were there dolphins? Tara: Yes. Many dolphins at the pound. Willow: Was there a camel? Tara: There was the front of a camel. A half-camel.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
Franz Klammer's downhill was (and still is) the most exciting sporting thing I've ever seen.
I dunno, Bill Johnson's downhill for the gold in '84 was a helluva run.

Aimée and sumi, I'm kind of shocked here that I liked Santino's clothes so much. All the proportions are right! They're flattering! They fit well! There isn't a crazy-assed amount of wiggity-wack! My world is just askew.
Also, I would kill for that red dress.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
So it's not all about the ice skating? Are you sure?
I wish they still held both Olympics in one year. I feel like they've really dilluted the brand.

Fortunately, I can use my remote control to avoid the ice skating... Or maybe avoid NBC all together, and just stick with the coverage on USA and MS NBC.
The Agony of Defeat guy didn't crack up in the Olympics. It was in the opening of Wide World of Sports because it happened on Wide World of Sports.

I don't know! I thought he was a Pepper. And not in that refreshing soft drink kinda way.
