Olympic Swimming Time Trials and Silliness

I Think Not(t). 

Sometimes I think.  Sometimes, not(t) so much.  These are my thoughts, or not.

Tonight I was watching the Olympic Time Trials from Omaha, Nebraska on some network TV.  It featured Men's and Women's swimming.  In the comments to follow, I mean NO disrespect as these athletes are amazing and I do hope they do very well next month in London.  

However...

1) I went upstairs to deal with something and I heard the narrative between the two announcers and I started to chuckle.  These announcers were comparing this night's event coupled with last night's event then "delicately" segued into a "drive" theme based on the automotive advertiser.  My giggling was because I thought of this SNL skit.  I can't not compare their narrative to this:

2)  Back downstairs, I needed to fast forward a segment or 2 to catch up a bit, and enjoyed watching the athletes swim THAT. MUCH. FASTER.   A few times over, and over, and over, in fact.  I chuckled and giggled.  We have some *amazing superstars*!!!

3)  Once back into the "regular' mode, there was a     S      L     O    -      M      O      under water cam video of the guys getting to the finish and tapping the wall.  I was mesmerized not(t) by their athletic physical stature. Nope.  I was mesmerized merely by their breath bubbles.   At the end of every race, each racer wipes their nose and *then* looks at the scoreboard.  It suddenly came to me:  How much snot and bodily fluids are in that water??? EWEEEEE!   

Yes, yes, I am a tad twisted.  

GO GO GO TEAM America!
