The bobsled team did not lose as much weight as the men’s downhill skiers. This resulted in bobsledder Ethan Albrecht-Carrie getting called into the boardroom and boom- you’re fired.

This quotation taken out of context doesn’t reflect the pathos of this story…but needless to say, it’s great. Funny, sad, and smart. In all the right amounts.

But Christ just imagine it, there you are on some island paradise, alone with a ridiculously expensive cocktail, contemplating the serenity, perhaps reading Proust, when in the distance, you hear their thunderous hooves, the stomping of inappriate footwear, the shrill, maddened barking, the howls. They stampede into your bar, a melee of glitter, beads, ridiculous plastic things that dangle, the unpleasant organic smell of long chain monopolymers from spray tan lotions, ‘Oh my God! Oh my God! Oh my God!’ They’d heave and exclaim evangelically, demanding bigger and ever more fruitier drinks. You’d shrink into a booth, praying they wouldn’t see you, but eventually they would, and they’d descend like hungry buzzards, circling at first ‘what you reading? for?’ before coming for your very soul.

Good call on Bon Iver. Bogans love Journeymen musician, of the ‘competent but undistinguished’ variety. I’d suggest that the first record was hype, largely based on the ‘tortured artist’ press release story of ‘breakup, wah wah, cabin in the woods, pour your heart out…’ I assume ‘Emma’ left him because she hated his dull and average music as much as I did.

Yummycherrypie89: don’t get me wrong or anything. i get ur comment, i really do, but i’m 14 and i truly do understand the lyrics of the song… so, there’s were u r a little bit wrong and i’m sure that other 14 year old girls and boys would agree with me too. just because we r in our ”pre-teen” years, as u call it, doesn’t mean we can’t truly understand the lyrics and the true meaning of a song. please don’t get this the wrong way. i’m just trying to state a point. HOPE U HAVE A GREAT DAY! =)

At my job, someone once put Nelson Mandella on a poster promoting a jazz fest in our city. The boss and everyone were very pleased with the design (it wasn’t good) and when they asked for my pov I asked “why’s Nelson Mandella on this poster?” The person designed it said “because you fool he’s a jazz musician that’s why he’s famous.
