Tim and Elfie are ridiculous. they were mentioning the other night how the romanian coach wasn't like the "old school" romanian coaches in that he gave a girl who didn't do all that well a hug and a kiss when she came down. who the eff cares?!
Patron: That girl is a witch. Mal: Yeah, but she's our witch.

I was noticing that Marta Karolyi had big hugs for the gymnasts who did well, and kind of patted on the shoulder ones who didn't.
I also found this somewhat creepy video of Nadia Comaneci visiting Bela Karolyi's training center. [link] The whole "Just like the old days, Bela can make me do anything he wants me to do" thing is just disturbing.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
And awesome too.
Would the bat be able to identify the calls, or would it merely respond to any froglike sound? We could hardly contain our excitement when the bat immediately flew to the speaker playing the call of the edible frog. It landed and tried to pry its way through the screen covering of our speaker box.
I have decided I am pro-bat.
Plus they had trained bats! Sorry frogs, the mammals win this time.

So, if I was going to write a bat pirate filk (Fifteen Men on a Dead Man's Chest), would this sound ridic?
Fifteen bats on a driftwood boat,
Yo ho ho and a tasty green frog!
We can't sing but we surely can float,
Yo ho ho and a tasty green frog!

Tomorrow we are performing an experiment to see what is funnier when it hits the sidewalk from the patio: A coconut, a papaya, a kiwi, a mango, or a plantain.
We need Sam to sink the pirate ship with an aerial assault.
I say A) he can't lift a coconut (even though he has a friend helping) and B) coconuts don't grow on the Canary Islands.
I also say that papayas are inherently more funny and less cliche than coconuts.
So a couple of the engineers have agreed to help with my experiment and judge which fruit is funnier when it hits the ground.
Problem: I cannot find a coconut ANYWHERE. Everyone has the meat, but no whole coconuts.
I have everything else. I think this is an anti-coconut sign.
