Ahahaha.
The world's fastest man adopted the animal kingdom's fastest sprinter Monday, as Usain Bolt welcomed a new baby cheetah named Lightning Bolt into his life.
Oh, he's not, like, living with him. Aw.
The world record-holder in the 100 and 200 meters paid $13,700 to formally adopt the cub. He will also pay $3,000 a year to care for Lighting Bolt, who will be raised at an animal orphanage in Nairobi.
How much do I love this?
He nearly ran away when asked Monday to pet a fully grown cheetah named Sharon for a photo shoot with Kenyan Prime Minister Raila Odinga. Bolt had Zeitz stand in for him, until he saw that Sharon seemed harmless.
So terribly terribly much.
And I'm terribly relieved that the cheetah won't be coming near Jamaica.
The grin on his face holding the cub is adorkable. And all the fur flying when the adult gets her ears rubbed!
He manages to combine playa playa and big old dork in a very charming way. I can only imagine the swathes he cuts through the ladyfolk.
Wouldn't having the title "World's Fastest Man" work against him somewhat in that department?

Worst case scenario, that notch on your bedpost isn't much time out of your day. And there are other places I am almost willing to go with that, but I'm going to refrain.

Have you seen the man dance?
I know he's a ladykiller.
I am rather amused at how many of y'all's devices that I think of by name.
And I haven't even named my laptop. I have named my car and my iPod.
