The Olympics Are Over

One thing about China, it knows how to put on a spectacle. Death-defying stunts, Jackie Chan singing, fireworks.

"Are you sure those were fireworks and not just a cover to bomb Tibet?" asked my brother.

According to NBC, they had over one million "volunteers" for the effort.

"Well, if that's what they want to call them," quoth my mother.

Mom had some doozies tonight. When a group of little girls in pigtails and pastel dresses came on stage, she proclaimed, "Oh my God, don't tell me that's the gymnastics team!"

I guess my TV-watching schedule will go back to normal now. It's been a while since I've indulged in Adult Swim.
