The similarities are striking

Well, apparently the Olympic Committee had nothing better to do than to block the video of Aly’s parents that I put up yesterday. And between that and somebody getting booted off Twitter for bashing NBC’s coverage, I feel like I better mind my Olympic manners or I’ll find myself being questioned by some angry French guy in a small, dimly lit room.

Why a French guy?

I don’t know. It just seems like the way it would all happen.

But I do have to share the picture my friend Carol sent me yesterday.

Yes, that’s exactly the point I was trying to make.

    I’d say your point is quite valid.

    WOW. And I thought NBC would only boot negative comments about Obama.

    Aahh, yeah. The resemblance is scary. I couldn’t stop staring at his lips during his performance. They look like my 98-year-old nana’s lips.

    My 12 and 13 years old kept saying he looks so saggy and old. And by the way, what the heck is that song? Wondering how many other viewers and attendees were asking the same thing? As I recall, the athletes who were jazzed (excited) anyway were not even mouthng the words. I noted his voice is weak and sounded way past its prime. Of course, I never thought it was that strong anyway. All in all kind of pitiful we thought.
    One thing I have loved… the parents’s responses!

    Yay for early morning LAUGHS!! Comments gave me several “step away from the coffee” guffaws today, too! The dowager Countess is definitely cuter. The French guy…..hmmmm…
    Inspector Clouseau, perhaps?

    They banned that video? Was it terroristic by nature or something? I don’t get it. I was thinking that Proctor & Gamble would pick it up to use in their Olympic Mom commercials. You know those ones that make me cry?
    All parents of kids in competitive sports can relate to that video. It is painful. If you could do it for them, you would. And you do, just in your own seat.

    Wow and wow.

    So I read your post on PW about Bunheads and can I tell you it made me love you?! Is that creepy? I mean that in the most non-creepy way possible. It is as if you have access to my inner most thoughts, yes my inner most thoughts do consist of all things Lorelei, Rory, LOGAN:)) and Emily and Richard. Yes, I have at least 60 episodes DVR’d at all times. Bunheads has been like coming home for me. My husband was appalled that Amy Sherman-Palladino was alive and kicking and creating witty dialogue again. I believe his exact words were, “OH my! What is this?? This is awful, it is just like GG!” I just smiled and said, ” Is it? I hadn’t noticed?” :) Thanks for always keeping it real and hysterical to boot!

    That is too funny. I don’t think I’ll be able to view the Dowager Countess quite the same ever again!

    On a (somewhat) related note, I thought you might enjoy this article since you are/were on that health kick earlier this year. How’s that going, by the way? Have the Olympics inspired you to climb back on the wagon, or no?

    Ha ha ha! I should not have looked at this while drinking water. Water now covers my laptop–hilarious!
