There is no way in heck the girl on the mat right now is 16 years old, or even 15. I'd put her about 13, maybe.
Right. Sir. Honey.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I have never stepped foot in a TJ's -- we don't have one in KC.
So sad! But yeah, any plain grain type situation you would cook and then add other stuff to would be good, I'm sure.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

There are at least two Chinese gymnasts who are currently listed as 16 but were listed as 12 just two years ago.

Just call me "Siouxsie Shunshine".
The couscous salad sounds amazing!
We don't have a TJ's here, either. We have to deal with Sweetbay's (which sucks), WInn-Dixie (which is better but not by much) and Publix (which is the best by far and has the best sushi in town)

Those are some beautiful bodysuits, though.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
The idea that they enter them so young because their bodies are wrecked by the time they're 20 just makes me feel so bad for them.
I'd rather see athletes who are slightly less amazing but who have lives outside of training, even if that's just school (which I get the sense is seriously lacking in the case of the Chinese athletes, and the Soviet athletes in the past). Which is also why the Home Depot ads make me like them a lot.

Yeah, that was interesting to hear in the commentary -- that your body can only take so many repetitions, and when you start full out at age 3, you just get used up faster. That's ugh.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
I know that sort of mindset is very Western on my part (Japanee pitches, I believe, will pitch the whole game, which significantly shortens their careers), but, still, damn.
Also makes me wonder what they do after.
