unhinged even though i don't have a tv, i'm routing for you buddy.

i remember watching the 2004 olympics slack jawed at how that guy could swim. the little bathing suits on tall lanky men with zero percent body fat doesn't hurt the eyes either.

unhinged yeah, he is disproportionate as someone pointed out to me, but that does not negate the poetry of his motion.

or the fact that he set many olympic records including the most coveted highest number of gold medals in one games. that is amazing no matter how tiny his head is or how long his torso.

note the imbalance it's cool that he won a few golds, but winning 8 doesn't mean much when there is only 1 to be won for, say, tennis or greco-roman wrestling. it's great that he won a gold, but i'm no more impressed by his 8 than by a gymnast's 2. if volleyball could net 8 golds too, then maybe this phelps guy would seem extra special. 080820

unhinged he still moves faster than any human being
in the water
repeatedly


so while his eight medals
might not seem as impressive
based on sheer number of events
they are still eight gold frickin medals

unhinged (and the fact that he consumes 12,000 calories a day is also laudatory) 080820
